I'm so confused. Why is this book five mini books and why did this last one just cut off at the end? Is there another one coming? I usually love Tracy Wolff books but this series is very choppy and incomplete.

The final installment in this series leads right into the Ethan Fox series and Wolff’s continuing saga about Fox and his life. We also get Aria’s secrets out in the open, and this gives added oomph to Sebastian and Ethan’s growing plans for the future. Sebastian also has realized that the future as he once planned it is no more, but with Aria on his side, he can continue to ‘make a difference’ in the world.
An interesting wrap up to a quick and compelling story: the characters did build up to complete beings in a sneaky way: Wolff’s use of first person and alternating the voices with their honest reactions, concerns and emotions worked to add dimension and depth to characters who were at first compelling only in the secrets they held and their electric connection. Covering only a week’s time, these two come to one another as strong and mostly independent people, that grow stronger and more confident as a result of their connection.
Each installment in this serial is 5 – 6 chapters, a whole book of 250 ish hard to put down pages. I’m not certain I agree with the marketing tactic on this – a single full length book would feel less daunting and frustrating to readers – but overall this was a solid and gripping read – full of tension, emotion and steam.
I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Play Me #5: Play Me Right by Tracy Wolff is the fifth book in her 5-part serial, Play Me.
So the final installment opens with Aria and Sebastian having been apart for three days. She walked out on him and they're both wretched messes.
Sebastian, having left vegas years ago to get away from his father and the seedy underbelly of the city only returned two weeks ago to take back over from his ailing father who is in recovery from a debilitating stroke. There is a bonding moment between the two of them that puts Sebastian in a more hopeful frame of mind than he ahs been in for a while.
Aria is also having a bonding moment with her younger sister Lucy who sufferes from a form of brittle bone disease. Turns out the sixteen year old is full of sage advice on boys and life. Aria makes a decision to come clean with Sebastina about who she really is, about what happened to her fourteen months ago and about why she is the way she is. She hopes it goes well but is worried this will be the breaking point for her.
After Aria spills the beans about her father's identity and that of her ex-fiancee and what he did to her, Sebastian vows...
"Bringing them down isn't enough. I'm going to destroy them and everything that matters to them."~ Sebastian
Apparently Sebastian and Aria have a cameo roles in Tracy's upcoming Ethan Frost novel Exposed .
