Promise (The Flesh Cartel #19)

In the exciting final season of the Flesh Cartel . . .

With the help of the FBI, Mat Carmichael has let himself be re-taken by the Flesh Cartel. Objective? Rescue his brother, exact revenge, and destroy the entire organization from the inside.

FBI Special Agent Nate Johnson will be playing backup, of course, but to get Dougie out alive, Mat will need to make sure his brother is out of Allen’s clutches before calling in the troops. Now that Mat’s back in bondage, though, there’s no way he can do it alone. He’ll have to ask for help from the only man within the Cartel who cares about Dougie’s welfare: Nikolai. And even knowing it will destroy him, Nikolai delivers.

Bringing down the Cartel should have been the hardest part, but it doesn’t take long to realize that the real challenge has only just begun. Dougie doesn’t know how to be free anymore, and Mat is forced to admit that he may no longer be strong enough to help himself, let alone his brother. But with loved ones in their corner and their love for each other banked but not extinguished, Mat and Dougie learn that you can come home again, no matter how desperate the circumstances you’ve left behind.

The end. Finished. Complete. It's over. 

There are all words to describe this book. Nineteen little editions into the lives of two men that will be forever changed. Two men that climbed out of the pits of hell, to try and find happiness. 

The trial is over. Sentences handed out and we are still left with a pit that will not go away. There was a little chapter hidden at the end of this book, that leads me to believe that this story is not over, even if the series is over. 

Both Mat and Doug have survived. One has survived and the other has hope of a relationship. Lord, so many emotions after reading these books. The horror that is written on these pages with the hint of redemption will keep you reading. 

Now, onto the one flaw. This ending was rushed and I think that there was a lot that we didn't see. I wanted to see more into the Cartel and the trial. This one thing will prevent me from giving this edition 5 stars. 

Overall, the series was a 5 star series. Again, like my other reviews, this series is not for the weak of heart.
