Steve Cavanagh did it again! I was hooked from the first page and left wanting more as the book went on. This book touched on bases of white supremacy, racism, and police corruption. I would highly recommend this book if you're looking for a legal thriller that will have you on your toes the entire time.

I love reading Steve Cavanagh! Especially, the Eddie Flynn series! This one did not disappoint!

This book was giving old south vibes. With lots of questions, corruption, and who did it the entire time. I couldn't put it down. I loved it!

Thank you NetGalley & Atria books for this ARC for my honest review!

Steve Cavanagh writes some of the most gripping thrillers that I've had the pleasure of reading. This one pulls us into the south and brings out some of the darkest themes. A truly epic read that tops the list this year!

Thank you NetGalley and Steve for the ARC!

What a read! I know have to read all other Eddie Flynn books! This book had me feeling some intense emotions, especially boiling rage, so the ending was super satisfying.

Although Eddie is the main character my favourite character is Bloch. What an absolute badass.

Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. 4.5 rounded up to 5 just because I can never get enough of Eddie Flynn. I love to see how Eddie and now Kate will work with the court systems. They are both brilliant! I love that we are falling in love with Bloch, Kate and Harry. Also, there were a couple of chapters that my blood pressure was through the roof and almost threw the book across the room. I would have to take .5 stars away due to I was not super excited with the who did it at the end. But Eddie Flynn is an auto buy and an auto recommend!

Steve Cavanaugh has done it again!
I really enjoyed following another adventure of Eddie Flynn. This book grabs you with the prologue, and the quick chapters keep the reader moving through the book quickly.

Thank you to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for the ARC.

Twist and turns that come over and over and leave me turning the pages faster than I can read!!! The obsession I have for Steve and the attorney is insane! Forever my fave!

New York attorney Eddie Flynn is called to Alabama for a murder case where he is up against a corrupt, racist, prosecution. With his own legal team, consisting of Block, Kate, and Harry, they quickly realize they are up stream without a paddle,
This crime novel was riveting, but also quite stressful. The Devil’s Advocate was my first novel in the Eddie Flynn series, and I can’t wait to go back and start with #1!

This was my first book about Eddie Flynn and his crew but it won’t be my last. Legal thrillers were the first type of thriller books that I ever read many years ago. John Grisham is one of my all time favorite writers with A Time to Kill being one of my favorite books. This book gave A Time to Kill vibes and I loved it.

This book dealt with racism, political corruption and thrills galore. I was immediately sucked into the story from page one and on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book. My emotions were all over the place. This book brought out so many things in me. I was angered, laughing, happy and all sorts of other feelings. The subject matter was perfectly written while weaved in with the legal aspect of the court case. I was shocked when we made to the end because I definitely did not see things going the way they did.

As for the characters, Eddie Flynn and his team are chefs kiss. Bloch and Harry were my absolute favorites. Each person brought something different to the group and the way each one was written showed that perfectly. The other characters in the book fit the villain role well (there were a lot of them), making me despise half the town.

I’m rating this at 4.5 stars. Even thought it had me turning the pages as fast as I could, it took a while for things to turn around for Eddie and the gang. I wish the courtroom stuff would have picked up a bit sooner in the book. This is such a minor thing and definitely won’t keep me from going back to book #1 to read all the other books in the series. Btw, you don’t need to read the other books first. Like I said, this was my first one and it’s #6. I had no problems following the story as if it was the first one.

Thank you to Net Galley and Atria books for the arc of this fantastic book!!

I am reading through the backlog of Steve Cavanaugh books because I was totally unfamiliar with his Eddie Flynn series before reading Kill for Me, Kill for You in a book subscription box. This was one of my favorites, especially with the "killer" and main antagonist being in a position of power (the defense attorney.) I will continue reading this series!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC. Re-release of book 6 of the Eddie Flynn series. This time Eddie is working pro-bono to save an innocent man of murder and the electric chair and from a power hungry DA. This book held me to the END! I really love this series and haven't read any in order! If you like Lincoln Lawyer or Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar, these books are for you! #TheDevil'sAdvocate #SteveCavanagh #AtriaBooks #Aug2025

Received from NetGalley.

I so enjoy this series. I read them in a ridiculous order by mistake so I’m playing catch up now. But I tear through them bc they’re so engaging.

It’s fast paced, and tense, and you think how are they going to work this one out. But they’re clever and as the team grows, they really work great together. I love what each of the characters brings and their dynamics.

Can’t wait to read the next one.

As always this author delivers to the max! I absolutely loved this book as I loved all the ones in this series! The storyline, the character development was awesome the old ones as well as the new ones! Great twists and turns everywhere you look. A definite page turner! Highly recommend, Five Stars for sure!

I cannot get enough of the Eddie Flynn novels.
These stories just pull me and and keep me on the edge of my seat. Never a dull moment.

Good ole Eddie Flynn had an old acquaintance show up at his office asking him for help with a case against a lawyer who never looses and always goes for the death penalty.
Andy was accused of murder, evidence and his first lawyer disappear and now it is up to Eddie to try and prove his innocence against the king of death.

This fast paced and twisty book is one you want to check out (or all of Eddie Flynn you’ll never be disappointed)
The best court room storytelling, thrilling and blood boiling trails and crazy storylines.

Thank you Atria and NetGalley for the ARC! This book was an absolute treat! I felt like each moment was one where I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what would happen next. The writing style also strongly allowed for readers to see multiple points of view as the drama unfolded. Very well done!

There are no words for how exceptional this book was. It was heavy, but raised awareness on a serious topic.

The writing is excellent, as is always the case with Steve Cavanagh. The storyline is raw, painful and heart-stopping. Every time I tried to put the book down I immediately picked it back up. The characters are so well-written and have so much depth. I’ve never had a book unleash so much anger in me (because of the topic.) The twist at the end of the book was so well-executed that I don’t think anyone saw it coming.

Hands down 5 stars, without a doubt one that needs to be on everyone’s TBR when it is released August 5th.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you netgalley for the arc. this is a multiple point of view,action packed ,even paced story, the author does a great job of making you fell all the suspense in the story. just plan good

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! This is the second book that I have read in the series and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The story gripped you from the very beginning and didn’t let you go until it was over. It followed a case in Alabama that focused on corruption, murder, racism, domestic terrorism, local and federal agencies and loss. It truly hit all the marks and had you guessing what was going to happen until the end. Every time you would think the defense team had run out of moves, they’d find another way or they’d go out shouting “fire”. This book was so good and feels like the series doesn’t get enough attention. The characters are so relatable, funny, honest, and lovable. I’m so excited to read the next book in the series!

Another Eddie Flynn book in the books. The twist and turns this one took was like riding your favorite roller coaster for the first time again. Eddie Flynn is a phenomenal lawyer. With his team, he is near impossible to defeat. How he defeats his opponents is always the question, this time it wasn’t answered until the very end. This one was packed with some historical law and cases that made the scenario and emotions to go along with it that more real. This books addressed some real issues of the American public. If you’re searching for the who done it vibe check, this one is it.

This was a completely explosive and nerve-racking thriller that kept me turning the pages from page one to the very end.

To say I was shocked at the end of the book is an understatement. I really like the way he develops the characters and shares enough backstory that you really root for the good guys and want the bad guys to go down. I enjoyed the courtroom scenes of the book and the only reason I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the violent nature of the book. It leaned very heavy into the violence but that’s just a personal preference of mine.

This Eddie Flynn book can be read as a standalone, but it does refer to something that happened in the previous book that would be a spoiler for that book.
