Three men, one neighborhood. All about to discover that the veil between this world and the next is razor thin.
My Review:
I really enjoyed Another One. This is the first volume in The Parker Trilogy. I am so excited to proceed with the series which is rare for me, if you read my blog you know I don't typically read series but I can't let this one pass me by! This was my First book by Tony Faggioli and I can't wait to read more by this awesome author. The author really created a thrilling and quite haunting story. I found that very few authors can surprise me but Tony's book is surely the exception to that.
Another One is a super fast-paced story with riveting detail. There are complex and compelling characters that are dynamic and interesting. There is also a well done supernatural element to this story. All this creates twists and turns that will keep you entranced and on the edge of your seat.
The main character, Detective Evan Parker is battling some demons after a shooting, which resulted in the death of his partner Napoleon Villa. He has some resulting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder afterward and his battling serious survivors guilt. He is determined to solve the last case his partner left behind. Unfortunately, the case seems to be a can of worms. He gets a new partner who is a charming ladies man named Campos, and he couldn't be any more different than his partner Napoleon.
Of course, no story is complete without a bad boy. The bad boy of this story is named Hector, who is a gang leader who is fresh out of jail. While in jail his girlfriend moved on to a new man. He wants to kill this new boyfriend and his mind is set on revenge.
This will lead up to an explosive situation when all their lives end up intertwining. I don't want to give away too much of the plot but it was such a great plot. The author really succeeded at creating a roller coaster ride for your emotions and will leave you guessing what will happen.
Disclaimer: I received this book from RABT Tours and Tony in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
