Amara: Tristan isn't answering his phone.

Morana: I'll try.

Dante: Amara and I have both tried six times-

Tristan: *on call with Morana* Hello?

Book Review: The Syndicator (Dark Verse, #6) by Runyx

No hate. Just truth: This book did not hit. It was disappointing.

Maybe my expectations were sky-high because the first four books set the bar so well.

Here’s the real breakdown—spoilers included, because at this point, you deserve to know.

🔦 Spotlight overload on Luna & Dainn: The book was supposed to cover all four couples, but it felt like the whole story revolved around Luna and Dainn. They were the main focus, and everyone else got sidelined.

Dante & Amara? Ignored.

Tristan & Morana? Undercooked.

Alpha & Zephyr? Forgotten.

🕵️‍♀️ Rename it: Morana and Shadow Man Save the Day: Let’s be honest—if Morana hadn’t existed, everyone would still be clueless. She cracked every code, solved every mystery, and basically ended the book while the others stood there blinking. Shadow Man handled the action. Meanwhile, Dante, Tristan, Alpha? Background noise.

🧬 Tristan and Luna's unnecessary plot twist: Their relationship twist was completely unnecessary! It added nothing. All it did was cheapen their relationship and steal focus from the actual sibling bond they could have explored. I almost threw the book across the room. What was RuNyx thinking with that? Their first meeting was great, but then what? Zero screen time at the end.

🪑 Dante and Alpha were basically VIP spectators: These two felt like they were just sitting in the front row, watching the drama unfold. What exactly was their role here besides looking cool?

💔 Morana deserved better: Tristan was my favorite male lead, but in this book, he was frustrating. He could tell his sister he loved her but couldn’t say it to Morana? She went through so much, and he just fussed over petty things. RuNyx could’ve portrayed him as a better partner. Morana deserved more than this sad, lopsided love story.

🧠 Alpha’s memory loss left hanging: The whole series ended, and we still didn’t get Alpha’s memories back? I was really looking forward to that.

👥 The ‘family’ vibe was missing: The ending didn’t feel like “they’re all one big family.” Instead, the ending gave off “awkward coworkers at a forced team-building retreat” energy. Luna felt distant, and while her story took center stage, she didn’t seem to fit in at the end. Where were the heartfelt moments between Dante and Luna? All he did was doubt her. And Luna’s struggles were rushed through one scene like no one cared.

💁‍♀️ Luna’s character shift: I loved her in Annihilator, but here? She felt like a moody teenager on her first crush. And her reaction to meeting her own child, Xandar was So flat.

🗣️ The “Mine” line? Embarrassing: Instant secondhand embarrassment. Why would Luna randomly say this? Gave nothing but Wattpad energy. I cringed so hard that I had to close the book and stare at the wall for a few minutes to recover from this.

🛏️ No one cared about Morana in the hospital: When Morana was in the hospital, why didn’t Luna check on her or Tristan? Girl, your sister-in-law almost died.

💀 The Syndicate—big talk, no action: This villain was hyped up through the entire series as the ultimate threat. I expected an epic showdown, but it was over in two minutes. Shadow Man handled it, and everyone else, like Dante and Alpha, were chilling at home like it was a casual Sunday. The villain appeared and vanished in the blink of an eye.

🧍‍♀️ Zephyr’s mom randomly killing her dad: Came out of nowhere. And everyone was so wrapped up in Luna’s drama that no one even cared. I actually laughed because it felt so ridiculous.

🗑️ Underwhelming plot: Honestly, the main story could’ve been told in 10 pages. The rest was just filler romance and unnecessary character appearances.

💬 Final Thoughts:

Rating:⭐ 1/5 stars

This book was just okay—not terrible, but far from great. Rushed, messy, emotionally disconnected, and underwhelmed.

Would I still recommend the Dark Verse series? Absolutely—for the first four books. Would I reread this finale? Never.

I’m still glad I discovered this series, and I hope RuNyx keeps writing and creating amazing characters in the future.

Shadow man: Why do you have a picture of Morana in your wallet?

Dante: Because whenever I need to argue with Tristan, I pull it out to calm him down.

Shadow man:

Shadowman: Could I have one?

[bookishpedia]

DARK VERSE X TWISTED (PART INFINITY)

Tristan: Morana kept asking me to get her a cat so I'm getting her one now.

Christian: I got Stella a unicorn once, and she completely forgot about me.

Tristan:

Christian: She wouldn't even cuddle with me anymore.

Christian: And that was all because of a soft toy. The cat is a living being that will take all of your girl's attention.

Tristan: (walking back to his cottage)

Tristan: Plan cancel.

[bookishpedia]

Tristan: Do you want to talk about your emotions, Morana?

Morana: No.

Luna: I do

Tristan: I know, Luna

Luna: I miss Dainn.

Tristan: I know, Luna.

[bookishpedia]

Morana: So the first trick to making any girl fall for you is to learn how to cook.

Xander: Really?

Morana: Yes.

Xander: Is that how you fell for Tristan?

Morana: 50% yeah.

Tristan: And the other 50% was when-

Morana: Tristan!

Tristan: I banged her.

Morana: TRISTAN FCKING CAINE!! You're not teaching a child stuff unethical for his age.

Tristan: (raising) We're enemies to lovers wildcat. I'm only suggesting that we fought and it built the angst between us.

Morana: (turning pink) Oh-

Tristan: (smirking) I know what you're thinking.

Morana: (palming her face) Shut up!

Xander: (walking out) Typical adults talking like we don't know what they do.

Morana: Tristan come back!!

THE SYNDICATER PREDICTIONS PART 4

Luna: (talking to Amara outside the room) He doesn't know that I'm his mother.

Xander: (talking to Morana inside the room) Does she remember that I'm her son?

Luna: What if he completely hates me after meeting me?

Xander: What if she doesn't want me?

Shadowman: (watching everything through cameras) This is going to be a touchy reunion.

[bookishpedia]

THE SYNDICATER PREDICTIONS PART 5

Tristan: (glaring at shadowman) His de-ad body.

[bookishpedia]

THE SYNDICATER PREDICTIONS PART 3

Morana: If you don't get on one knee right fcking now and take me to the alter then I'm gonna jump off the cliff.

Tristan: (getting on one knee) Will you marry me Wildcat because I...

Morana: *waiting patiently*

Tristan: Because I love you so much.

Morana: *breaks down into sobs*

[bookishpedia]

THE SYNDICATER PREDICTIONS PART 2

Dante: (whispering) This is a bad idea.

Tristan: (crawling in the AC duct above Shadowman's room) This is the best idea.

Dante: Atleast make sure to put the silencer on the gun.

Tristan: All ready. I'm going to kill that motherfcker for keeping my sister away from me.
