Born into a legacy, Eliana must find her own brand of justice.
After moving to Chicago to work at the mysterious Shrine museum, Eliana is determined to uncover the family secrets she’s never been told. When she stumbles upon her first-ever dead body, everyone around her believes she should try to solve the murder. But taking cases isn’t what she came here for. Despite her plans, things are about to turn far more sinister, and the path she’s on seems determined to drag her back into a nightmare.
Chicago PD Officer Carlos Ryson was born into a legacy of his own. He’s here to look for his missing sister, Luci, and wants to enlist Eliana’s help. This is a family problem, and only family working together can solve it. But Eliana has never forgotten the way Carlos shredded her heart. If he wants them to team up, he’ll have to confront the damage he did and find a way to repair it.
While the city around them descends into a chaos that resembles the end times, someone has seized the opportunity to get what they want from the Shrine. Only Eliana stands in their way, but if she’s going to figure this out she’ll need to trust that the people around her have her back.
Before it’s too late.
Now Until Forever is the stand-alone finale to the Brand of Justice series, and is set in the near-future. It features a happily ever after romance mixed with high-stakes suspense in this gripping crime fiction story.

My Thoughts on Now Until Forever
Now Until Forever is the 16th and final book in this series. The entire series (except for this book) follows Kenna Banbury as she navigates life as the daughter of a famous man. But it’s so much more than that. She learns who she truly is, she deals with grief, with love and loss, finds family, and faces betrayal. Kenna lives a life of danger and prefers to go it alone.
That is, until she doesn’t.
I just want to give you some backstory for this novel. You see, this one follows Kenna’s daughter. Well, Kenna and Jax. You really, really need to read this series in order. Yes, that’s sixteen books. And yes, it will be worth it. I firmly believe you’re going to feel lost and like you’re missing pieces of the puzzle if you don’t. I’ve read them all, and I still have questions!
Eliana is the daughter of Kenna and Jax. She’s also the star of the show. Well, she has Carlos as her backup. Carlos is the son of Kenna’s friends, Javier and his wife. He’s referred to as Ryson often in the stories. And now there’s a little Ryson on the Chicago PD! It’s like it’s all come full circle. Eliana finds out who she really is through solving a case, and Ryson is helping her.
As a fun teaser, in book 15, Kenna tells Ryson that they might need to arrange something between his son and her daughter. Ryson doesn’t say no! And the two have grown up together. But now there’s danger and death and a murder to solve.
Can Eliana follow in her mom’s footsteps and solve the case?
This book is fast-paced. You’re going to need to hang onto your seat. You might even want to take notes or make a murder board of your own. There’s suspense and bad guys galore.
While I did love this novel, I do have to say I was disappointed to have another book in the series and not have Kenna as the focus. I was expecting more Kenna and Eliana tackle and a case, not Eliana, maybe tackles a case because she’s tried to separate herself from everything her parents have done and stood for.
It really felt to me like, yeah, she might have felt that way. She had notoriety because of who her parents are. But Kenna had that too. I’m a huge Kenna fan, so not being full of Kenna was a letdown. Still a good novel. Yes, I still give it five stars and fully recommend the series and this finale. But it was a sad parting for me.
As an author, Lisa Phillips is one I track and follow and never miss a novel from.
