Prey

Loved this book and headed to the next book in the series Prey. I have read the book but the audio book brings life to the story I read.

Not as good as the first

The story didn’t flow for me and I found myself back tracking to figure out what I’d missed. I was disappointed with the relationship between Lucas & the NY cop. I enjoyed the first book immensely, but this one fell short.

Hard to relate too

The story was slow and the characters seem so out of touch. I see the book was written in 2012 and I'm reading it in 2023, so maybe that's why?

Cheap, barely worth finishing.

Dry story with no real depth, just some cheap thrills. And what is a M15, 223, shotgun doing blowing apart a house?

Top 3 out of his 23 Davenport Novels

All the Davenport Novels are worth a read, this particular book is great because it revolves around a younger, crazier, slutty, always manipulative Lucas, a group of fugitives that are both interesting & dangerous, & many of Davenports close friends in the future are cementing they're loyalties from these earlier novels. For some reason I read so many of the other Prey novels before I came back & read this one which is technically the 2nd in the series... It was worth it almost to the point I wish I read it earlier. But all his books are great & the development of Lucas & his family all take place throughout the series but this book is still in the stages before he had to worry about another woman, kids, politics, & future responsibilities I ended up reading at almost the same time because I was reading Silken Prey shorty after....

Highly recommend this book... LUCAS is establishing why he is such a bada$* & has the reputation he does....

Great Thriller

The audio version stopped many times without reason. I would say it crashed the app, but once restarted it did pickup at the same place.

not up to his usual standard

Wild it's reasonable to expect some variability in quality , this book seems to have been edited by a dozen different people. As a result there are parts that just don't seem to make sense. loose ends are never tied up.
