Another fun adventure with Finlay and Vero, now with the rest of the family in tow! I lived in Atlantic City for awhile so it was nice to visit my old stomping grounds and see it from Finlay’s point of view (my life was never as exciting when I was there, thankfully). It’s difficult to imagine that their lives could get any crazier but every book has even more thrilling events than the last. There are a lot of loose ends tied up in this one and the conclusion was exhilarating but fitting. The writing flows well and, although the antics seem outlandish, they are just believable enough to keep you invested in the story and laughing all the way. Can’t wait for their next adventure!

Another great addition to this series! Fun, quirky, smart series. If you haven’t read them before, start with the first as it does build. Looking forward to the next one… keep them coming, Elle Cosimano!

This series is one of my favorite reads of the year! it is such a perfect blend of mystery, comedy, and romance. The characters are so lovable and I found myself rooting for them even as they did some morally questionable things. If you are looking for something laugh out loud funny with a lot of heart and a delightfully twisty plot, I would highly recommend picking up this book!

I love it when long-running series go on the road and give us a new location. This book made me want to load up and go to Atlantic
City myself, ha.

I did have a bit of trouble remembering what happened in book 3, which was a problem because this book is a direct continuation of it - almost a really long epilogue. It was a lot of fun, though, I gave up on the plot and just enjoyed all the set pieces.

Fourth book in the series of crazy adventures and mishaps of Finlay and Vero!
More often than not with book series you will notice a change in tone or slow down at pace in the books as the writer grows tired or runs out of ideas but not Elle Cosimano. This book might be the most action filled so far in the series and didn’t disappoint.
I love the consistency and characters.
Great books!

These are SO fun. I am a huge fan of Finn. She's so relatable and gets herself both into and out of the most hilarious situations. No wonder our readers love these so much. Can't wait for the next one.

when Finlay and vero go to the casino for a girls weekend, mayhem is sure to follow. The problem is the weekend is a cover to save Vero' childhood crush who has been kidnapped. Toss in Finlay's ex-husband and her mother and its a fun time,

I was introduced to the Finlay Donovan series last year, devoured all of the books, and then joined the other expectant readers in impatiently waiting for the next book to be released. It finally came out a few days ago, and I have zero shame in saying that I got the audio and then listened to the entire book today.

This series is so delightful, and the “murder, but in a fun way” vibes are just what I needed this week!

My girl Finlay can’t catch a break!!! Love this series & this book. The characters and the nonstop nonsense constantly making me laugh & flipping the pages so fast I almost rip them out of the book to see how the story goes!

This is the best one in the series so far. This was so funny. The ladies trying to pretend this was a girls trip around the police and Finlay’s mom. The mystery is well-plotted with plenty of twists.

The continuing antics of our favorite dynamics duo does not disappoint. I really enjoyed getting to know Vero better too.

Redemption! After loving the first 2 books of the series then not being a super fan of the 3rd, this book really took me back to what I loved about the first 2. Amazing! Can’t wait to read the 5th installment!! Give me more Finlay!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Mystery/Comedy

✨This is the fourth book in the series and I will keep this review spoiler-free but it is essential to read these in order.✨

💬 “We can’t go in there, Vero! Do you know what happens to women who go into creepy basements? Murder! Murder happens to women who go into creepy basements.”

✨The Feels✨

This mystery series is like a warm hug for your brain cells! What really shines here are the characters—they practically jump off the page and into your living room. Elle has this uncanny ability to whip up side characters that feel like they could be your next-door neighbors. Sometimes I wonder if Elle drew these characters from her own life – which would make this series even more Meta than it already is. Not only are the characters fantastic but the dialogue and banter is pure comedy gold - it was difficult to pick a quote for this book because there are just too many good ones. Also, I pride myself on predicting plot twists, but this series keeps catching me off guard, likely because I’ve never encountered two characters more chaotic and with a propensity for danger than our beloved Finlay and Vero. This series is closed-door but it does have some romantic interests and butterfly moments which I also, highly enjoy.

✨The Spoiler-Free Details✨

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice” by Elle Cosimano takes readers on a wild ride with single mother Finlay and her partner-in-crime (and Nanny), Vero, as they embark on a supposedly relaxing girls’ weekend in Atlantic City. However, their plans take a sharp turn when their trip becomes entangled in negotiating with a dangerous loan shark, rescuing Vero’s childhood crush, and tracking down a stolen car. With Finlay’s ex-husband, 2 kids, and mother unexpectedly joining the escapade, chaos ensues as they navigate through seedy casinos and murky dealings.

Pack your bags and get ready to head to Atlantic City with Finlay, Vero, and the entire cast of characters in the fourth installment of this hilarious, outrageous, and over-the-top series.

Finlay and Vero are back and hit the ground running, immediately dealing with the fallout from the cliffhanger in book three, including mobsters, stolen cars, missing loved ones, and dirty cops.

Angela Dawe is also back as the voice of the audiobook, and her performance is stellar once again.

As in the previous books, Finlay and Vero find themselves in one hot mess after another, always seeming to escape danger—not to mention prison—by the skin of their teeth. The pressure is on them to keep all of their secrets in order while trying to fix the humongous mess they’ve found themselves in, all while keeping their family members from killing each other—or winding up dead themselves.

I love this series and can’t wait to see what else is in store for the whole Donovan universe. Each book is a fun-filled ride with mystery, humor, and evolving relationships, perfect for escapist reading when you need a change of pace.

Every time Finlay Donovan thinks she might finally catch a break in life, things only get more intense. Headed to Vegas with her nanny and partner, Vero, Finlay discovers that her troubles aren’t about to end anytime soon. Vero is burdened by a dangerous debt, stemming from a shady connection. The duo’s mission is to settle this matter once and for all, which is why they embark on a road trip.

As in each book of this delightful series, Finley and Vero find themselves in a constant race against time, barely escaping the clutches of danger. Their lives are a whirlwind of chaos, but they soon realize that they’re not alone in Vegas. In fact, it seems like almost everyone from their everyday lives has made the trip to the neon-lit city.

Oh, and did I mention Kevin Bacon makes a cameo? Well, not really. But if you read this fun and thrilling book, you might just catch a glimpse of it. And let me tell you, the book is filled with laugh-out-loud scenes that make it a must-read.

Many thanks to Minotaur and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

The 4th Finlay installment did not disappoint!

I found myself laughing along the way to the Atlantic City 'girls trip'. Always a good time trying to figure out how Finlay and Vero will get out of another mess of theirs!

Steven, the kids, and Finlay's mom are all along for the ride in this one! Very charming, funny, with a grand cliffhanger ending!

I highly recommend!

Detective Dolce, Detective Gabbana, Detective Versace... 🤣

This book cracked me up. 

Finlay & Vero are at it again, getting tangled in a variety of illegal situations that aren't really their fault. The stress I feel while reading this series is- thankfully- alleviated by the humour! Vero is especially funny. 

I'm really hoping for another book (not confirmed yet). Especially because of the way this one ended... 🤐

If you haven't already, go read this book! As long as you liked the other Finlay book, you'll like this one! Of course, I loved it!!

Thank you Minotaur Books for a copy of Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice!

"If Finlay can juggle a jealous ex-husband, two precocious kids, her mother’s marital issues, a decomposing loan shark, and find Vero’s missing boyfriend, she might get out of Atlantic City in one piece. But will she fold under the pressure and come clean about the things she’s done, or be forced to double down?"

This is my favourite series because it doesn't repeat itself in every book! I love that for this book, it feels like Finlay's secrets are at the edge of being revealed. I also love the sneak peek into Vero and Javi's relationship. Can't wait for the next book!

I absolutely adored Finlay and was so thrilled when Minotaur and NetGalley gave me access to read this book. It’s been on my list forever.

Once again Finlay and her side kick Vero think they have things under control, and quickly find out nothing is in their control. From more dead bodies, and a casino hotel room to running interference with her ex-husband, and making sure their presence is not detected. Their time in Atlantic City is anything BUT relaxing.

Through a series of twists and turns they make it out of Atlantic City without too many scrapes and their ties to Alex G still under wraps.

Unfortunately for Finaly, just as she thinks she's got things handled and might have a chance at something real with her new boyfriend, Nick fines something that could change everything, a single cherrio in a place where one shouldn't be found.
