Story
Bonnie and Clyde, they thought. And what's-his-name, the sidekick. Three teenagers with dead-end lives, and chips on their shoulders, and guns. The first person they killed was a highway patrolman. The second was a woman during a robbery. Then, hell, why not keep on going? As their crime spree cuts a swath through rural Minnesota, some of it captured on the killers' cell phones and sent to a local television station, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigator Virgil Flowers joins the growing army of cops trying to run them down.

I really enjoyed this book and I definitely love Flowers more than Davenport but I didn't love it as much as previous books.

Did I read this before?
Reviewed: 01-07-25
It was not what I was exp cting as its more paranormal than an actual romance but it was an ok book a little slow for my taste and honestly the whole time I was listening to the audiobook I kept feeling like I'd heard this story before .
But I do want to finish this trilogy
I would wait to read all three one after the other

But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers - especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, whom her family can never know about.

Reviewed: 12-30-24
I would give this 10 stars if I could. I've had this on my TBR for years because the thought of an entire book in verse wasn't appealing but I've recently started my own hip hop journey and felt right to try now. Even though I am Dominican my experience is so different from Xiomara's that at some point they meet and I was her and she was me even when I didn't get it.
A beautiful story that has left with a hopeful heart as I end this year

Story
The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid’s arrow. My meet cute (well, not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me.

I enjoyed this book so much even though I don't know why since I didn't like the changing POVs or how dumb the detectives seemed to be but I will definitely be reading more from this series

Story
.Lucas Davenport has seen many terrible murder scenes. This is one of the worst. In the small Minnesota town of Deephaven, an entire family has been killed - husband, wife, two daughters, dogs. There’s something about the scene that pokes at Lucas’s cop instincts - it looks an awful lot like the kind of scorched-earth retribution he’s seen in drug killings sometimes. But this is a seriously upscale town, and the husband was an executive vice president at a big bank. It just doesn’t seem to fit.

Too many Coons in the air
Reviewed: 11-15-24
Whenever there is a case with too many strings to pull , the book lags in my opinion. This one had way to many villains and too many connected crimes so it made it sloppy at times.
I think the best Davenport books are one there is just one main villain

The thrilling new Virgil Flowers novel from the #1 New York Times best-selling author. The superstore chain PyeMart has its sights set on a Minnesota river town, but two very angry groups want to stop it: local merchants, fearing for their businesses, and environmentalists, predicting ecological disaster. The protests don't seem to be slowing the project, though, until someone decides to take matters into his own hands.

Story
A house demolition provides an unpleasant surprise for Minneapolis - the bodies of two girls, wrapped in plastic. It looks like they've been there a long time. Lucas Davenport knows exactly how long.In 1985, Davenport was a young cop with a reputation for recklessness, and the girls' disappearance was a big deal. His bosses ultimately declared the case closed, but he never agreed with that. Now that he has a chance to investigate it all over again, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: It wasn't just the bodies that were buried. It was the truth.
