All He Has Left by Chad Zunker

Action-packed page-turner that kept my attention from beginning to end – Love reading a new-to-me author that is one I will look for again.

What I liked:
* Jake Slater: high school football coach, husband, father, facing a tough time at home and work just before becoming a widow, loved his wife, loves his daughter, honorable, caring, strategic thinker
* Piper: Jake’s preteen daughter, dealing with the loss of her mother and friends, faces big changes that are not easy for her or Jake
* Dani: FBI Special Agent, in Austin to keep an eye on her ailing father, once dated Jake, strong, focused, might still have a soft spot for Jake
* That it drew me in, made me care, and feel invested in the outcome
* The way Jake dealt with the kidnapping of his daughter, his thought processes, his ability to move forward despite all that was happening around him
* The look at wealth and entitlement and how it impacted more than one in the story
* The plot, pace, and writing
* That there was a mystery that was solved…a mystery I wasn’t apparent early in the story but very evident toward the end
* That the baddies were exposed and dealt with…eventually
* The conclusion
* Everything except…

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about how evil and self-centered some people can be and how ruthless they can be to achieve what they desire

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the ARC – This is my honest review.
