Death Blow by Isabella Maldonado

5.0

Death Blow is a really great read for lovers of hard-hitting crime thrillers. I haven't read any previous Veranda Cruz novels, but I was able to jump right in and enjoy the story. The characters were all very engaging--even the villains, frightening as they are, were interesting to read about. Veranda is a likeable heroine who is definitely not perfect. Although she made some decisions I was yelling at her not to, there was always a well developed motivation for it. She's a great, tough, kick ass protagonist. I loved how many characters were Latinx, something I don't often see in the genre. In addition, the plot was well-paced and I never felt bored. Overall I really enjoyed reading, and I look forward to the next one!
