Book Review: What's Left of Me

 


I’d rather be the face in your nightmares than fade into oblivion.

From Colorado

Leaving the home they built in Denver to return to a place of misery and pain isn’t what Jo Surwright and Vinny Ajello had in mind. After escaping the horrors of the Citrus Grove Slayer 15 years ago, things should finally be at peace in the cozy little town in Florida. When a copycat killer emerges, and the notorious CGS is unwilling to speak with the Feds, two lovers scorned return to their hometown to speak with the convicted serial killer. But all is not well at the penitentiary housing the CGS, and the fury they share towards him might burn just as brightly as the love they once had for Alastair Constatine before he turned on them both.

To Florida

Agent Sterling Gideon never intended on taking over the helm from his father when it came to the CGS, but a string of murders and a psychotic convicted killer leave him little choice. Dragging a happily married couple back to the scene of their torment isn’t his favorite thing to do, and discovering what once made all three lovers click might ignite something inside of him that he never looked too deeply into. After all, a serial killer, a government agent, and a former crime family mobster could never all fall for the same woman.

A dark romance, slow burn, why choose MFMM trilogy that starts as MF. This deals explicitly with violent crime, loss of identity, and fighting what the heart truly wants. The trilogy has a happy ending.




My Review


I read all of the Sins and Secrets books and so I liked that this book taking place in this world between books four and five of the S&S books. While the S&S books are really spicy, this one is more about the storyline and character driven. As if I was not going to read the next book but now, I really have to with the cliffhanger ending. 


I liked this new tone that this book takes with it being more emotional and bits of dark undertone. Jo and Vinny are great. What they went through with Alastair, you could really feel the emotions...anger, fear, sadness, and love. If anything, it felt like Jo and Vinny were brought closer together. 


I like Sterling. He is a nice addition to the story. I look forward to seeing more of how he comes into play with the group dynamics. Alastair, what can I say about him. He is the wild card and while I would love to hate him, I am drawn to him.
