I really enjoyed this first book on Virgil Flowers and I honestly like him a little more than Lucas . My first prey books I didn't like Lucas at all but enjoyed the stories, by now I've read enough to actually care about Lucas but overall this was a good start to a series and will be reading simultaneously with the Davenport one

I didn't like this storyline the first time it showed up in the series and I didn't like it this time around but I didn't hate it and I loved the recurring and new characters so it wasn't all bad

I seem to have a problem with how Mr Sandford ends his books because I'm always a bit annoyed with his endings. 
I would've given this a 5 but the las 4 chapters annoyed me too much

3.0

This is my first Emily Henry book and even though I enjoyed the style of writing and found the characters nice, overall I thought the pace was slow and it was just an ok book. I'm no sure if my reaction is because my expectations were too high or if I just was a little bored at times but I enjoyed it enough that I would give this writer another chance
