Book Review: What's Left of You

 



If the only way off death row is by dying, I'll drag you to hell with me.

From Prison

Missing after a prison break, Alastair must contend with the ghost of his past and survive the ordeal to return to his dreary life of imprisonment. Surviving a murderer for the second time is no walk in the park, and he'll get to see how unhinged the madness inside can make a person when left to their own devices. He might be the byproduct of a monster, but there are demons even he doesn't want to contend with. The longer he's free of his physical chains the tighter the metaphorical ones feel.

To Evasion

Finding a convicted murderer and a ghost back from the dead is no small feat, and with the weight of the FBI's Deputy Director resting on his shoulders, Sterling feels the burn of judgment every time he looks over his shoulder. Balancing the trials of the law with his twisted feelings for Jo and Vinny makes the case messy, and he's unable to fight their gravitational pull when the couple invites him to fight their pain with pleasure. Once they find what's left of Alastair, will they be able to untangle the web of feelings they've drawn around themselves?

A dark romance, slow burn, why choose MFMM murder mystery trilogy that shifts to MFM and MFMM in this book. 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 am really enjoying how this trilogy is progressing. The story is darker but at the same time it exposes more of Jo, Vinny, and Alastair's relationship. The addition of Sterling to Vinny and Jo's dynamics is just what I needed. 


Sterling may be in charge as a detective but in the relationship, he is a bit subtle. This I did not mind. Because of the strong love that Jo and Vinny have for each other, it just elevated the relationship. 


Alastair had a bit of his own storyline. What he was going through, I actually felt for him. Yet, at the same time I was still on edge waiting for the other shoe to drop on what is to come in the final book. I am ready for the conclusion to this trilogy.
