Drugs. Sex. Murder. And, if they can squeeze it in, graduation.When Auggie Lopez returns to Wahredua for his senior year of college, he's excited about the future: he's growing his brand as an influencer, he's almost done with school, and he's building a life with his boyfriend, Theo. Then Auggie gets a phone call from Howard Cartwright, Theo's ex-and Cart tells Auggie he's being framed for murder.As Auggie and Theo begin to look into the death of a local parole officer, they realize something isn't right. A gang of armed men almost catches them while they're searching the victim's home, a threatening message spray-painted on the victim's home suggests a personal vendetta, and everyone wants to know about a missing cache of money. The trail leads Auggie and Theo into the dangerous world of the Ozark Volunteers-the local white supremacists who control the region's drug trade.After Theo and Auggie are attacked at home, they learn that the stakes might be much, much higher: someone is determined to put a stop to their investigation, no matter what it takes. And the killer, Theo and Auggie suspect, is hiding behind a badge. No library descriptions found. |

There are books out there that are gripping, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, but suffer from a lack of credible, three-dimensional characters; there are amazingly introspective, character-oriented stories that lose points because of poor pacing or draggy plot lines.
But what do you say about a book — series — that has none of these weaknesses? That’s so well-rounded that as you read it, even if you don’t like certain developments, you find yourself marvelling at the author’s imagination and skill every couple of minutes? That sucks you in so thoroughly that you literally can’t put it down, and it’s only when your back’s starting to hurt and your bladder is screaming bloody murder that you realize you haven’t moved from your more or less comfortable slouch for hours?
Genius.
I really, really want to binge the H&S series now, but as there’s a finite number of GA’s books that I haven’t read yet, I think a break is in order. ( )
