Could
Alex Roberts lose everything again?
Four years after the
death of his daughter and the collapse of his marriage, Alex has
finally rebuilt his life. With Gia, he has found something rare:
stability, passion, and a future he never thought he’d have again.
But the past isn’t finished with him.
When his ex-wife Valarie
leaves a chilling note in the condo he shares with Gia, Alex knows
she’s back. And she isn’t just looking for closure, she’s
unpredictable. As the threat grows, so does the guilt Alex thought he
had buried. He still feels responsible for Valarie and everything
that went wrong. Gia sees it too. She feels him slipping, piece by
piece, into the wreckage of a life he barely survived.
Now
Alex must face the woman he couldn’t save or risk losing the one
who saved him.
My Review:
Alex believed he had moved on from his past until he discovered a note on his bed from his former wife, Valarie. Naturally, she denies having left the note, but Alex isn’t convinced. After he confronts Valarie, he deceives Gia, his girlfriend, about the situation and keeps silent about visiting Valarie regarding the note.
Alex's intention is to shield Gia from the troubling circumstances by withholding information, but he only complicates things further. The antagonists are indifferent to her knowledge; they will exploit her against him if they decide to do so.
The plot thickens as more details emerge concerning Gia’s mother. Is she aware of what’s happening? Is she involved, or is she merely an innocent observer?
Alex pulled me into his narrative as deeply as Gia’s tale did in After Gia, the third installment of the After Dark series. Each book in the After Dark series continues to improve with each read. The intrigue and tension kept me captivated as I awaited the unfolding of the truth.
I eagerly anticipate diving into the next book, After Valarie, to discover what lies ahead for Valarie.
Check out all the books in the After Dusk series I’ve read.
