About this item

The name of the game is fame, and the trick is simple:

If you aren’t a player … you’re being played.

Isobel knows it. The Alphas know it. Yet every time they make a move, Ironside counters with two, always one step ahead, outsmarting them at every turn. Just when they grasp a lifeline, Ironside threatens to hang them with it.

They have only one choice: play the game—the real game, exactly as it was designed. With new contracts pulling them deeper into the service of the Stone Dahlia and yet another settlement tour looming on the horizon, they must execute their roles flawlessly.

It’s time to dim the lights, switch on the cameras, and get down to business.

Beware the pretty players, because this social media game just levelled up.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive perfection. Give me this meal every time, please.

    jane washington decided to be my only 5 ⭐ reads this year and maybe forever because she is the theodore kane of the writing world.

    ... so I don't really know where to even begin with but even before release day I had mixed emotions inside of me because no matter what happens in this book it would leave me empty because Jane's writing makes you addicted. You will never get enough of it, you just need more and more. Especially with these books. Ironside Academy became my comfort place even though it shouldn't be since every book we read about this place is disgusting, so venomous and kind of a mirror to our current reality but aside from that everything that happened will always remain dearly in my mind and heart.
    I love Isobel Carter and her alphas. Every eleven of them are so well crafted, every detail so perfect that you could easily feel like you are in the room with them laughing at their jokes or solely in their warm embrace.
    My most favorite thing in this book was Illy. She is my favorite female character ever. She is strong and badass but never loses her sweet and gentle side. We see her growth and going further to everyone's expectations. I can't help feeling so proud of her.
    I'm glad she's receiving all the love and support she deserves because I had to run to the nearest church to confess all my sins because DAMN. Last time I warned you all to have a couple of water bottles since you will be thirsty but this time just go to the hospital to have an IV because it wouldn't be enough. It's never enough when it comes to ten alphas.
    Oh, these alphas. They can be possessive, territorial and brutal but when they have to be supportive and sweet they exceed every standard.
    We discover a lot of this time that some of us have expected and theorized. It was fun seeing how wrong I was in a lot of things. I laughed, I cried and blushed a lot about it.
    My heart aches this time not only of what happens in certain parts of the book but also because we are nearing the end of this amazing journey. I have never felt so attached to a book before. I normally become obsessed for a couple of days and then I'm obsessing over another thing but since the moment I read Plier last year I was hooked forever. There isn't a time of the week where I don't think about these characters or do a little quick reread of my favorite scenes.
    I know realistically there can't be more books but I feel like I'm mourning something that I didn't even lose and I'm never going to since they will always be there to read every time I want to.
    I'm not ready to say goodbye. I hope every once in a while Miss Goddess Jane Washington decides to pull out some random bonus scene or group chats text as an update of them because since I'm an addict to her gracious work, she kind of has the responsibility to give me a little dose lol (jk jk (not really)). I'm willing to trade my own house for a monthly subscription to Dorm A.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS BOOK MORE THAN I LOVE MY MOTHER!

    I know I sound like a broken record, but I'll say it again. I am in love... no... I WORSHIP Jane Washington and her Ironside Academy series.

    In book four I ignored ALL of my motherly duties in order to read Reliever, and I admit for book five, I was no different. Was I already at the 28-hour mark of sleep deprivation when I started reading? Yes! Did I care... NO!

    To no one's surprise, Jane does it AGAIN! I truly had no idea what to expect but I was not disappointed. Illy and her alphas are some of the strongest, most determined characters I know. Jane always manages to write in such a descriptive way that you feel as if the stuff in the book is happening to you, alongside the FMC.

    I truly NEVER have had a book make me feel so many emotions as I did in Glisser. I don't like to spoil my reviews but I was absolutely heartbroken at a certain turn of events (#imayhavebawledmyeyesout).

    Also, Glisser made me happily pee my pants (#ineedtopracticemykeagels) because it was just so darn funny. I love, love, love Bellamy's, Sophia's, and Illy's friendship. One thing that really surprised me was her father. I truly wonder if this is going to be his redemption or if it's just an act. I guess we'll see in the next, final book.

    Now for of course the alpha's. I still cannot and refuse to choose a favorite. If I thought Releiver was spicy, quite literally in the name of the book you WILL be glistering. I would like to say I may cry and pee myself easily but I do not blush.. like ever, but some of those moments were so good, it would make an alpha cry. A few of these spicy scenes live in my head rent-free. I couldn't have asked for a better-written story. I am excited to see how this ties all together in the final book.

    If you are skeptical of starting this series and somehow saw this review. Please try to throw aside the bias of why you wouldn’t like this book. You're truly missing out on this masterpiece of a series written.

    So get ready for the emotional rollercoaster of a lifetime! just when I think this amazing author can't up the ante she goes "challenge accepted" and knocks our socks off, while still battering and bruising are hearts and souls but somehow putting things back together, like when Isobel's soul artifacts are returned to her after they have been forcibly cut/removed. You have to trust the journey, it's all worth it.

    We get to see where the team left off with the threat to their lives, how the consequences of their actions explode for them and others who have helped them (or have been perceived/accused of). We get to see relationships get solidified even more, get our hearts healed with some resolutions, cry our eyes out with some hard scenes and emotionally high stress for Isobel and her Alphas. And the tension and steaaaaaam. I have been waiting for some walls to come down and it was so worth the wait. I am not going to go into anything here, but this part of the story isn't unicorns and rainbows. Remember Eleven is pretty much giving their government the middle finger and writing their own rules and they won't take too kindly to that. Just be prepared with the tissues, have planned breaks so you can breathe, have a cold shower at the ready (or a fan to cool you down haha).

    Overall another incredible addition to this Ironside adventure. I want to see how the author is going to tie everything together, there are some hard things the group needs to overcome and a lot more story and resolutions to go and we just have one more book! It's definitely going to be bittersweet, but I am so excited for 2025 and getting our HEAs (this author never skimps on that, so people again just need to TRUST THE PROCESS hahaha). See, no spoilers from me! I just had to vague book everything...you're welcome haha
