Remnants of Evil is the sixth and final book in the McAllister Justice series written by author Reily Garrett. Each book in the series focuses on a different couple and can be read as a standalone romantic thriller. Even though this is true, I do believe reading the series in order will give you a greater foundation to understand and appreciate the backstories. Just know that it’s not mandatory.
Remnants of Evil tells the story of Abby McAllister and Royden Patterson. Abby is a lawyer and she is fiercely independent. She likes to push herself since she was kidnapped two months ago, and she still has nightmares about it. Her boyfriend Royden is a police officer and he’s partners with her brother, Billy.
When Abby becomes the target again, Royden and her brothers do everything they can to help protect her. Remnants of Evil is an amazing page turner and it had a great balance of suspense and humor. Knowing this would be the last book in the series, I felt kind of sad as I got closer and closer to the last page in the book. The ending was wonderful, and I loved every minute of it!

Reily is a West Coast girl transplanted to the opposite shore. When she’s not working with her dogs, you can find her curled up with a book or writing her next story. Past employment as an ICU nurse, private investigator, and work in the military police has given her countless experiences in a host of different environments to add a real world feel to her fiction.
Over time, and several careers, many incidents have flavored the plots of her stories. Man’s cruelty and ingenuity for torment and torture is boundless, not contained by an infinite imagination. Witnessing the after-effects of a teenager mugged at knifepoint for a pair of tennis shoes, or an elderly woman stabbed repeatedly with a screwdriver for no apparent reason, left an indelible impression that will forever haunt her subconscious. In counterpoint, she has observed a woman stop her vehicle in severe, snowy weather to offer her own winter coat to a stranger, a teenager wearing a threadbare hoodie. Life’s diversities are endless.
Though her kids are her life, writing is Reily’s life after. The one enjoyed after the kids are in bed or after they’re in school and the house is quiet. This is the time she kicks back with laptop and lapdog to give her imagination free rein.
In reading, take pleasure in a mental pause as you root for your favorite hero/heroine and bask in their accomplishments, then share your opinions of them over a coffee with your best friend (even if he’s four-legged). Life is short. Cherish your time.
