The first novel details Matthias' plan to make his assailants suffer and regain his fingers and get a new face. The second novel then raises the question, 'What happens in the happily ever after?' I don't like books that spill into sequels, but I would make an exception and give this one a try. I hope I enjoy it. Congrats on the BOTD.

This book has wonderful themes. Personality loss and self discovery are two very good topics of discussion in a novel. It's compelling. Thanks for your review.

I can't even imagine waking up to discover I have gone through a face transplant, that would crush anyone. I'm curious to know the drama that unfolded in this book after the main character's identity was changed without his consent. Nice review you've got there.

My interest is peaked as to know how he lost his fingers and face. Did he succeed in his desire to get back at his enemies? I guess I'll have to read it to find out. Nice review.

Someone losing their face sounds a bit dramatic- I’d be interested to see how this plays out!

It sounds scary to wake up and not remember your family. Also, it is nice that the books can be read as a stand-alone. Thanks for the review.

I’m personally Not that interested in this book. It sounds interesting, but I don’t think it is really in my wheelhouse. Thank you for your honest review! I’m glad you didn’t find any errors. That is truly rare.

I love crime thrillers. With such praises from the reviewer, I'm excited already to read this. How exactly did Matthias lose his face and ten fingers? I guess I'd have to find out.

Wow! Sounds like shades of the Nicholas Cage/John Travolta movie, "Face Off." Is it grisly in its descriptions? How awful to lose a face! Thank you for your review.

Two books in one. After being attacked, the protagonist details a plan to make his aggressors suffer and regain his fingers and get a new face. It seems attractive to lovers of crime thrillers and adventure novels.

What happened to Matthias was very gruesome. I wonder how did it happen and what was the motivation of the assailant.
