an excellent way to finish off a very inventive trilogy. in this final book, the weirdness factor gets cranked up, and big epistemological questions get asked - what makes daniel, well, daniel? how far will he go in his quest? will daniel get away cleanly? a satisfying resolution to the story, and well worth the read.

This book started with quite a gruesome scene where Margaret ends up killing Bob and Ben and taking the parts that they require for her, Daniel and Hal. Margaret isn’t a clean killer and it is her first time as far as Daniel is aware. They are unaware that Kage was tracking them down before they even started taking the body parts which means they are quite pushed for time without knowing about it.
Daniel finally manages to get archer to stop damaging the bodies and to clean up and leave, just as Kage is arriving in a different frequency so they can’t see each other.
Kage is the first person to turn up to the crime scene and assess the situation. He reckons that Bob and Ben have only been dead a few minutes, so on instinct he steals arms and Ben’s penis and leaves the crime scene.
All of these 3 main characters then get the body parts that they have acquired surgically added to their body. From this point onwards Daniel has to overcome a problem with Autumn, as he has fallen in love with her but she is the one who has his liver.
From this point onwards the book becomes very tense, there’s a lot that happens that makes you have your mouth hang open.
Both Daniel and Kage’s characters have developed quite a lot, and it’s nice to see that they are actually quite similar to one another. Daniel is still trying to get his amygdala back from Kassandra who he realises is actually Kage. Daniel comes up with a plan with Hal on what will happen which you discover at the end of the book.
The details that actually go into the plan that Daniel and Hal have came up with is quite good, you don’t actually get told all the details but when things start to unfold you realise they were actually part of the plan after it’s already happened.
Since Kage has had Ben’s penis put onto his body, he feels he needs to experiment with it before he goes to see Una. So this is really the only sex scene that I can remember from the whole book. There was a few partial sex scenes at Bob and Bens gig but they were just more funny than anything. The sex scenes weren’t too detailed which I found better and since there was generally less of them I generally enjoyed the book more.
Overall I’d recommend the whole series especially if you like suspense, thriller and you can put sex scenes to one side. I’m honestly quite glad that I ignored the sex scenes within the first book because I felt that the 2nd and 3rd book were a lot better written and now that I look back on book 1 I can laugh at the majority of sex scenes.
The ending of this book was also what I thought would happen but not in that way. But I really enjoyed the turn on it and I’d really like to know who that was in the dark at the end. Maybe if I read his other series they may link and I may get to find out who it was.

I am still stunned by this terrifying, horribly gruesome third book of the trilogy. I am almost at a loss for words regarding the you-will-not-believe ending. Is this the true meaning of bitter-sweet?
I won't waste your time with more. I feel that if you are still reading this review you really should get these amazing and shocking books. Enjoy sleeping with the lights on!
