You decide) The main characters are easy to care about & sympathize with。 I'd say it's on par with a well done TV movie。 No regrets for this month's pick!*** CONTENT **** Nothing graphic - there are some grim things that happen, but they're not described in unnecessary, grisly detail* There's a light smattering of d-mns & h-lls, but refreshingly free of the stereotypical language so common to these anymore 。。。more

Julie,
Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the copy of All He Has Left。 It was a little hard to follow because there was so much going on and so many characters。 I was glad at the end when one character summed up what had happened! There were some unbelievable things, (I rolled my eyes at the jumping on a fast moving train part) and sometimes the writing was so clunky I had to reread a sentence。 This is a great story though, and if you love lots of action it really delivers。 I enjoyed it, but I Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the copy of All He Has Left。 It was a little hard to follow because there was so much going on and so many characters。 I was glad at the end when one character summed up what had happened!

Fast paced thriller that was harder to put down than I expected。 Jake’s life is in a hard season。 After losing his wife in a hit and run, then battling a messy custody battle with his wife’s rich family his daughter is kidnapped and his niece is murdered。 What follows is a father’s desperate search for his daughter while also being pursued by the FBI and assassin (wait what?!)。Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for this ARC。

Wow! This was a thrill ride of a book! It starts out with a bang and the excitement doesn’t stop。 I really enjoy reading books where a “normal” person has their life up-ended and chaos ensues。 I am happy that the author has several more books that I can read。 Do not miss All He Has Left by Chad Zunker。 Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for the advanced copy of this book。 All opinions are my own。

He knows no one will take him seriously)。Side note: the fact that the FBI Agent is named Dani was icing on the cake; it isn't the most common name I see in books (maybe just the ones I read perhaps, idk) so I immediately showed my husband and said "Look her name is Dani and she's an FBI Agent!" What a great name for a great female lead character ;-) Thanks to Thomas & Mercer via Netgalley for the early copy to read and review。 。。。more

X Karry X,
I usually tend to lower my expectations for family drama novels as in the majority of cases they all seem a little extra in trying to go above and beyond being just family drama novels。 So I prepared myself for the same with "All he has left" by Chad Zunker。 However, I was pleasantly surprised and I'm glad for that。The description gives most of the plot out right away, so for me it wasn't about the mystery solving (you will most likely be blaming the right person from the very beginning)。 Powerf I usually tend to lower my expectations for family drama novels as in the majority of cases they all seem a little extra in trying to go above and beyond being just family drama novels。 So I prepared myself for the same with "All he has left" by Chad Zunker。 However, I was pleasantly surprised and I'm glad for that。The description gives most of the plot out right away, so for me it wasn't about the mystery solving (you will most likely be blaming the right person from the very beginning)。 Powerful and wealthy family on one side, grieving football coach on the other side and then there's suddenly a third side - a kidnapped child。 Still recovering from his wife's death, Jake Slater is now put in the middle of another tragedy as the whole world (meaning his in-laws, police, FBI and media) accuses him of a brutal murder and nobidy seems to be willing to help him with getting his kidnapped daughter back, so he has to find everything out all alone。It's quite a fast-paced but well-written story, while reading you feel like each scene is really needed to be in its place to form the whole picture and that's what I especially liked about this book。 One more thing that I really liked is actually the main character。 Jake is not a superhero who does everything right, he makes his own mistakes, makes wrong choices and sometimes has to deal with pretty upsetting consequences, but his thoughts can awaken some feelings inside of a reader and that's, I think, is the best a characted and a book can do (Dani, a FBI agent, is a little questionable for me from this perspective though, but that's a whole different story, I'm a bit sensitive to major female charactes in such novels)。All in all, I'd say that this book is a good choice to spend a couple of evenings with when you know what to expect。 It may not be the most thrilling and breathtaking/heartwrenching novel you'll ever read but it's definitely a nice example of a family secret revealing detective story to consider reading when you're stuck with your tbr。 。。。more

When Jacob lost his wife in a tragic car accident he decided to move him and his daughter far away from his over bearing in-laws but since it was her 13th birthday he decided to be the bigger person despite their underhanded tactics and let piper celebrate her birthday with them。 When he went to pick her up at her cousin Kaitlyn‘s house however he heard a gunshot and when he broke the window to get in he found Kaitlyn on the floor bleeding from the stomach and then every parents worst nightmare When Jacob lost his wife in a tragic car accident he decided to move him and his daughter far away from his over bearing in-laws but since it was her 13th birthday he decided to be the bigger person despite their underhanded tactics and let piper celebrate her birthday with them。 When he went to pick her up at her cousin Kaitlyn‘s house however he heard a gunshot and when he broke the window to get in he found Kaitlyn on the floor bleeding from the stomach and then every parents worst nightmare he heard piper scream outside。 When he ran outside to see what was wrong the last thing he saw was a man pushing her into a tow truck and driving off when the police arrived because of the negative things as in-laws were saying they immediately thought he did it! They detained him but he faed illness and snuck away from them and when the FBI was called in to assist the lead investigator was none other than his college girlfriend Danny if he was going to find piper it would be on a zone but the road his investigation lead him down is a dangerous treacherous walk that leads to the past and what he on covers will uncover more than one mystery。 I loved this book I thought it was a smart put together mystery and although I thought I knew who was behind it the twist interns were surprising I like that Danny believed in him despite not having seen him in such a long time I just can’t say enough great things about this but I really enjoyed it I thought the characters of a great the mystery was very well put together and the twist interns came in the right moments were not at all overdone a true five story that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more about this author this is my first book from him but will not be my last。 I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review。 。。。more

A great beach read。 Fast pace mystery/thriller whose plot does not drag out。 This novel does not require you to commit every fiber of your being to read which is great when there can be a ton of distractions around。 Suitable for when you're waiting in line and thumb through on the phone。 A great beach read。 Fast pace mystery/thriller whose plot does not drag out。 This novel does not require you to commit every fiber of your being to read which is great when there can be a ton of distractions around。 Suitable for when you're waiting in line and thumb through on the phone。 。。。more
