Wanted - Dead or In Love
Impulsive high school senior Monroe Baker is on probation for a recent crime, but strives to stay out of trouble by working as a flapper at her father's Roaring 20's dinner show theater. When she cuts herself on one of the spent bullets from her father's gangster memorabilia collection, she unwittingly awakens Bonnie Parker's spirit, who begins speaking to Monroe from inside her head.
Later that evening, Monroe shows the slugs to Jack, a boy she meets at a party. He unknowingly becomes infected by Clyde, who soon commits a crime using Jack's body. The teens learn that they have less than twenty-four hours to ditch the criminals or they'll share their bodies with the deadly outlaws indefinitely.

Talk about trouble spiralling out of control ...
Monroe is an impetuous teenager who seems to have lost her way after the death of her mother a couple of years before. She has been getting into trouble ever since, and at the beginning of this story, she is on probation for an act of vandalism.
Her family has a shared passion for gangster lore, which they indulge in by watching movies and collecting memorabilia. Her father owns a supper club that has Jazz Age entertainment and has the opportunity to display his collection of gangster memorabilia.
The story begins on the night that her father has acquired some rare Bonnie and Clyde items. Fascinated by their legend, Monroe impulsively starts to handle the items -- and that's when the trouble starts to snowball.
It's a fun read that captures the sometime rashness of a teenage mind, worrying about consequences but going ahead anyway. (It's an interesting contrast between Monroe and Jack who appears to be overly cautious.) The story is filled with local color and references, Bonnie and Clyde facts, and some Half-Dead peripheral characters.
Maybe there's a sequel in the future???

Initial Thoughts: About a 3 - 3.5 star read for me. This really is a weird one for me to review - part of me disliked the book, the other part of me loved 1 character. Here goes: Monroe's father collects Bonnie and Clyde memorabilia for his restaurant. When Monroe nicks her finger on a bloodstained bullet, something strange happens. She hears Bonnie's voice inside her head and Bonnie wants to stick around. Later that evening Monroe attends a party and he experiences something similar, only this time it's Clyde's spirit. Both spirits want to stick around and live. Monroe must do all she can to get rid of the spirits. The story is told from alternating points of view - that of Monroe and of Clyde. I loved the parts that were in Clyde's voice. His reaction to our technology was quite amusing. The book had a lot of interesting facts about Bonnie and Clyde.
The Review:
I think that there’s always been some sort of morbid fascination for stories about Bonnie and Clyde. Wanted: Dead or in Love is a modern day take on their story.
For the most part, I enjoyed this book. I loved the chapters that were told from Clyde’s point of view. Imagine waking up to a world 80 years after your death. Think about all of the technology that Clyde was not aware of. Then, think of his worldview. Clyde was a most entertaining character and perhaps more adaptable to the present than Bonnie. The funny thing was that he was completely ready to continue his crime spree even though with today’s technology he would probably be caught right away. It was kind of creepy how Clyde took a liking to Monroe right away and Bonnie’s ghost sensed it, too.
I also liked the idea of Monroe working at a Roaring Twenties dinner theatre. That was kind of cool as was the Half Dead tour of Chicago. The last third of the book was quite exciting as well.
I did have a few issues about this book. I would have liked to have had more background on Monroe’s situation and why she was in trouble.
Overall, an quick and enjoyable read.
Thank you to Merit Press for a review copy of this book.

I really was excited to read this book. I like reading about gangsters. Besides who is not familiar with the story of Bonnie and Clyde. So when I read about the concept of this book kind of having a paranormal theme to it and Bonnie and Clyde coming back from the dead I was like "That is cool". It was cool except for the fact that I found Monroe and Jack to be kind of dull. The first part third of the book I was reading all of the chapters but than after a while I was sort of skimming over the parts with Monroe and Jack's voices to get to Clyde's voice. Bonnie did speak but it was more in Monroe's sections and her voice was not as present as Clyde's. Well in the fact that Clyde got his own chapters. If I had cared more about Monroe and Jack and there was more action than just talking I would have liked this book better. The action did not happen until closer to the end. The ending was alright.

I love this fresh take on Bonnie and Clyde. The story is told in alternating point of views, allowing the reader to get to know Monroe, Jack, Bonnie and Clyde. While most of the book is told by two of the characters, Brunner does a great job creating four unique voices and an intriguing plot that kept me guessing what will happen next. Wanted: Dead or in Love is a fun, fast-paced thriller with great characters and the right amount of tension to keep me turning the page.

This contemporary YA romance is tension-packed. Monroe is a troubled high school senior. Her mother died just over a year ago and she's having issues with impulsive behavior. She's got two strikes--one for shoplifting and one for vandalism--any more run-in's and she'll break probation and go to jail. Oh, and she can kiss her scholarship to NYU Buh-Bye.
Though she knows better, Monroe can't resist touching the newest piece of memorabilia her father has collected for his Gangster Gallery--spent slugs that were used to gun down notorious killers and lovers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. Who could have guessed doing so would rouse these two spirits from the Great Beyond. Unable to return the slugs immediately, Monroe takes them along to a party intending to return them the next morning when her dad isn't watching.
Meeting Jack Hale at the party sets the plot into motion. Monroe doesn't feel a connection to the cute boy, but he's so attentive she can't help chat with him about the slugs. Touching them allows Clyde's spirit access to Jack, while Bonnie's spirit inhabits Monroe.
Neither Jack nor Monroe really understands what has happened, at first. Monroe starts hearing a voice in her head, and any time she touches the slugs or other personal effects of Bonnie Parker she goes into a trance--seeing Bonnie's memories as if they were her own. Yeah, Monroe's losing it.
'Course Jack isn't having a great time either--any time he gets scared Clyde's dominant and charismatic personality erupts. And Clyde's not a reformed man. He knows one surefire way to make some quick cash--and it involves the words: Smash and Grab. Pretty soon Jack's wanted by the police...
Aided by the Half-Dead Society, Monroe and Jack learn that their only hope to ridding their bodies of Bonnie and Clyde's spirits is to complete their final wish and lay them to rest--together this time--on the anniversary of their deaths.
Big problem? That anniversary is twenty hours away.
Bigger problem? Their eternal resting place is in Gibsland, Louisiana, and Monroe and Jack are in Chicago--a 16 hour drive.
Biggest problem? The cops are on their heels and they just impounded Jack's car.
Monroe is all for rushing off on the trip south, but Jack's sure Monroe's plan is cracked. He wants to turn himself in--perhaps get off easy for it being "his" first offense. This is something neither Monroe nor Clyde will accept--Monroe can't become a three-time offender and Clyde had, and will, kill to stay away from 'the laws'.
The story unfolds in alternating point-of-view--with Monroe and Clyde telling their parts. Clyde's a bit swept away by the feisty Monroe, and as they drive toward the deadline he attempts to determine which woman he'd want to spend his 'new' life with: Bonnie, or Monroe. Still, it's only a hunch that the spirits can be laid to rest, and Clyde's itching to take Jack's body over--for good. Nonetheless, Monroe and Clyde can't avoid chatting on the trip, and Monroe finally feels a connection to someone--shame it's a long-dead killer.
Throughout the journey, Jack and Clyde alternate possession of Jack's body--and Bonnie's jealousy and hurt over Clyde's infatuation with Monroe leads her to cause Monroe some grave discomfort.
I adored the realistic setting, even in the face of the potent magical elements. More than just laying Bonnie to rest, Monroe wants to stop running from all her troubles. She recognizes her troubles result from her own impulsive behavior and wants to do the right thing. Part of that is rescuing Jack, even if it means sacrificing Clyde. Like any getaway road trip, there are almost more obstacles than they can overcome. The pace is fast and the stakes are high: only two spirits might remain past the deadline, and Clyde's desperate to be one of them.
When the resolution comes the ending is satisfying, while leaving the door open for another tale.

{My Thoughts} – Bonnie and Clyde back from the beyond, who would have thought that it was possible? I have to say that books never seize to amaze me in their ability to pull me in and take me on a fun roller coaster ride into a fictional environment.
Monroe is this sweet sort of anti-social girl that works for her dad at his dinner theater called the Clip Joint. This place sounds amazing in the book. I’d love to work their myself. It is described as having lots of old gangster paraphernalia on the walls as decoration that Monroe’s dad has collected from various auctions he has attended. The most recent to his collection is a set of five bullets that were said to have been pulled out of the dead bodies of Bonnie and Clyde and a poem that Bonnie had written while she was in prison.
Monroe’s dad shows these things to her and gives her the poem as a gift. However, when he leaves the room she takes a few of the bullets out of their case and then manages to become infected by Bonnie’s presence. “Is it possible for the brain to cough out words and phrases on it’s own? Unless somehow when I cut myself…. no. That’s stupid Bonnie Parker is not in my head.” As much as she wanted to believe that she was just losing her mind and all that wasn’t the case. Later on that night she goes to a party with a co-worker where she meets Jack. Jack hits on her, flirts with her and makes small talk, but he isn’t appealing enough to her that she wants to have anything to do with him. It turns out that she ends up showing him the bullets that she took from her dad as a way to try and get rid of him, however instead he becomes infected by Clyde. They end up having to leave the party in a rush and because the police are there to break it up and he runs and leaves her behind. She catches up to him and the go to a local McDonald’s where they meet Milo.
Milo becomes somewhat possessed by I’m not sure what to call it and he tells Monroe that it is important that she listen to him and heed his warnings. After the trance passes he takes off scared out of his mind. — If you would like to know the rest you really need to read the book. It’s amazing!
I really enjoyed how well written this book was. I understand how it can become a jumble of a mess when switching between characters and having more then one person talk from the same persons mouth and all. This author did a spectacular job, you always knew who was talking and when and it wasn’t confusing at all. I liked how the personalities of Bonnie and Monroe were so incredibly different that there was no way you couldn’t know who was who even though a majority of Bonnie’s speaking was in italics. I also liked how you could tell how different Jack and Clyde were as well.
Jack and Clyde were an interesting pair, neither could communicate with one another and they only had the ability to see what the other was doing. They couldn’t hear anything at all. But when they swapped places they were able to take complete control over Jacks body. Jack decided he didn’t like Monroe like he thought he had and Clyde wanted Monroe to feel as if she was the girl for him. Bonnie on the other hand had other plans for all of them.
Monroe and Bonnie were able to speak in Monroe’s head and if Monroe Touched Clyde Bonnie could speak though Monroe’s mouth. Monroe didn’t care for Jack either but seemed to be falling for Clyde however, it was unclear through most of the book if it was for show or if she really had fallen for him. If you want to know read the book. I said that already didn’t I?
I loved how the book relayed information about Bonnie and Clyde, their family, the crimes the committed and more. I also couldn’t believe how quick of a read it was. I felt like I had just started the book and then it was done. It is very fast paced and just well amazing. I think anyone that reads it will fall in love with it just like I did!

Review first appeared on my blog: Book Addict 24-7
I received a copy via Merit Press in exchange for an honest review
Merit Press very kindly sent this my way and I’m so grateful! My best and immediate advice to you is to avoid reading the synopsis of Kym Brunner’s novel, Wanted: Dead Or In Love immediately before reading the book. Why? Because you’re going to want to go into this one blind, trust me, it makes it SO much better!
I absolutely adored Brunner’s novel because of how unassuming it is. When you look at the cover you might think, ugh, another teen-face cover. Or, if you’re like me, you might think that this is a collection of short stories if you look at the cover from far away (yes, I use glasses.) But trust me when I say this: Brunner’s young adult contemporary/paranormal novel has enough sass, dangerous and unconventional romance, and unusual paranormal circumstances to keep you craving more, plus it also has a road trip from hell. I love me some road trip fun!
Anyone familiar with the Bonnie and Clyde story may rejoice in seeing a young adult adaptation of the two lovers that doesn’t go as predicted. I love the fact that Brunner, while technically writing from the first narrative point of view of two of the characters, introduces us to four characters. Whereas some authors might find it difficult to create and develop one character, she successfully creates four very different personalities (a couple even have accents!)
Honestly, when I went into this I thought I was also going to get a twenties-style historical fiction. I was so happy that it was contemporary because it made the story all the more appealing and approachable to me. I’ve always found historical fiction a bit intimidating, hence my initial wariness.
The pacing was great, since we are immediately brought into the main issue of the novel and then follow one of the protagonists, Monroe (which, by the way, plays so well into the theme of the novel), down what promises to be a destructive road.
I’m not going to discuss the second narrator because I don’t want to give anything away, but I’m just going to say that I did NOT see it coming. Monroe, however, is actually perfect for her opposite narrator because they both beg to be redeemed by the end of the novel. Even though the redemption comes in a less than conventional manner, it does happen (just not in the ways that you might expect.)
At the end of the day, this is a tale of love, adventure, and redemption. Pretty strong trio, in my opinion.
One of the reasons why I think this novel is so popular is because it offers something different. The female and male protagonists are far from perfect, it takes two of the most romantic (and most vilified) couples in history and offers them a second chance, whether they receive it or not, and it is just the right amount of sass without any arrogance.
Overall, as you can obviously tell, I loved this book. Believe me when I tell you that I honestly wasn’t expecting to like this one. I think that what helped me was that I went in without any expectations (and without reading the synopsis), and enjoyed the heck out of it.
I recommend this to readers who like contemporary reads with a touch of the paranormal. If you like unlikely romances, imperfect characters, and creative scenarios, then you might like this. Also, just to throw a hint out there: if you enjoyed What’s Left of Me by Kat Zhang, then give this one a go—not because of the dystopian quality, but because of the unique situation that certain characters are in.
Happy reading!

Ohhh myyy goodness! This book was great! I could hardly put it down, and the last 30 or so pages made it even worse! I really had no idea how this would all play out! That ending!? I gasped! Also, there's a song I heard a week or two ago, Partners In Crime by Set It Off, and it is totally a theme song for Bonnie and Clyde. It's awesome, and I can't stop thinking of it!
My favorite things about this book was the historical aspect. Bonnie and Clyde are such well known historical figures, but before this book, I only briefly knew about their exploits. I'm motivated to get into history more and learn more new things! I liked Monroe, or Twinkle, as Clyde affectionately calls her. She wasn't perfect, she made mistakes, and she did everything she could to try and correct them. And I kind of loved her threatening that gross redneck, that was badass. Totally illegal, but badass. Jack was an ass. It was a good contrast to have a main character be completely against the adventure he is forcibly on and to hate his companion on this journey.

Actual rating 3.5
For my full review on my blog: http://sleepsontables.blogspot.co.at/...
When I received this book in the mail the first thing I was excited about was the premise. I mean c'mon! I doubt you can say that you've read a book about a girl who touches some old bullets from Bonnie & Clyde's bodies and gets possessed with their spirit. I've never read a book with a premise like this one. The idea is entirely fresh and new and I really hope to see more 'possession' reads in the future.
The story starts out being told from Monroe's point of view but after the initial beginning of the book, it's also told from Clyde's point of view. At first this is weird because in the beginning he's not even possessing Jack yet, he's just off somewhere in an in-between. However, as the story progresses and the possession of Jack occurs it's really cool to have the point of view from Monroe, who is on one side of things, and from Clyde, who is on the other side of things. This unique story-telling also helps to reveal some of the more minute details and differences between Monroe's world and the world that Clyde lived in.
One thing that might make Wanted: Dead or in Love appeal to a larger audience is the fact that it's not a 100% historical fiction novel. Sure, there are some aspects of history thrown in there with Bonnie & Clyde but if anything, this book is a contemporary.
I really liked Monroe. She's a totally likeable character and you can't help but feel for her issues she has going on. (Although one problem I did have with this book is that we don't really know exactly what made all these issues in her life. We're not given a lot of the Monroe background that I would've loved to have.) She has so much going for her that can tip one way or another in an instant and in the end of the story she is begging for a redemption. This, she has in common with Clyde. Clyde's such an enjoyable character because we get to see him adjust to this new time. He grows so much in that he realizes his old life wasn't everything and it's really adorable (albeit a little bit creepy) and how fast he takes a liking to Monroe.
Another great thing about this book is that something may or may not happen as planned in the end and it may or may not be open to a possible future storyline that I would love to read.
For my full review on my blog: http://sleepsontables.blogspot.co.at/...
When I received this book in the mail the first thing I was excited about was the premise. I mean c'mon! I doubt you can say that you've read a book about a girl who touches some old bullets from Bonnie & Clyde's bodies and gets possessed with their spirit. I've never read a book with a premise like this one. The idea is entirely fresh and new and I really hope to see more 'possession' reads in the future.
The story starts out being told from Monroe's point of view but after the initial beginning of the book, it's also told from Clyde's point of view. At first this is weird because in the beginning he's not even possessing Jack yet, he's just off somewhere in an in-between. However, as the story progresses and the possession of Jack occurs it's really cool to have the point of view from Monroe, who is on one side of things, and from Clyde, who is on the other side of things. This unique story-telling also helps to reveal some of the more minute details and differences between Monroe's world and the world that Clyde lived in.
One thing that might make Wanted: Dead or in Love appeal to a larger audience is the fact that it's not a 100% historical fiction novel. Sure, there are some aspects of history thrown in there with Bonnie & Clyde but if anything, this book is a contemporary.
I really liked Monroe. She's a totally likeable character and you can't help but feel for her issues she has going on. (Although one problem I did have with this book is that we don't really know exactly what made all these issues in her life. We're not given a lot of the Monroe background that I would've loved to have.) She has so much going for her that can tip one way or another in an instant and in the end of the story she is begging for a redemption. This, she has in common with Clyde. Clyde's such an enjoyable character because we get to see him adjust to this new time. He grows so much in that he realizes his old life wasn't everything and it's really adorable (albeit a little bit creepy) and how fast he takes a liking to Monroe.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into Wanted: Dead or in Love, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It was a good adventure and I really liked the paranormal aspects.
This one was told using dual POV, alternating between Monroe, a modern teen, and the legendary Clyde Barrow. I usually am not a huge fan of dual POV, but this time it really worked! I appreciated the noticeable differences in their voices and enjoyed the past vs. present differences.
I didn't know much about Bonnie and Clyde going into this book, so I liked that I actually learned a bit of history as well. I'm all for making learning fun!
Like I said, I really enjoyed the paranormal aspects of this book. Being possessed by the spirit of a dead gangster would be terrifying! I found the 'rules' for how being 'half-dead' worked fresh and unique and I really thought they worked.
However, I did have a few minor issues with the characters. All of them. Monroe is the kind of character who constantly makes bad decisions, especially in the first 40 pages or so. Since it was so early in the book, it made it hard for me to like her for most of it, since we didn't have a relationship before she went around going stupid crap. Jack was such a little wiener for most of the book. I understand he was put in a really crappy situation, but it seemed like he did everything that he could to get in Monroe's way. Bonnie was mostly just annoying. She had such a one-track mind and no depth. I did end up feeling pretty bad for her in the end. And Clyde just gave me the heebie jeebies! He came off really sleazy to me with all his pickup lines mixed with his chauvinistic attitude. I definitely couldn't see the attraction there. Also, horniest ghost ever!
Despite my issues with the characters, I really enjoyed this one based on the paranormal aspects and historical information. Recommended for history buffs and fans of alternative ghost stories.

I love the idea of this book Bonnie and Clyde together again. I couldnt help but be fasinated with the two. I like many others totally tuned into the new Bonnie and Clyde movie just last year as my 6 year old would say it was epic. When I received this book courtsey of the publisher Merit Press, I think I MAY have jumped for joy.. I may have unless my kids got footage of that then dang yeah it happened.
I really like Monroe sure she has her issues and did I think her legal trouble was as big as she made it out HECK NO. BUT when your 18ish things like that are DRAMA! So I loved that about her. Jack Daniel now him I wanted to punch many times! Sure Monroe gave him the bullet but its not like she knew what was going to happen and he didnt need to be suck a dick.
While Bonnie was in Monroe’s head, Clyde is taking over Jacks. And Clyde is basically still a badass. Hes got Jack in trouble with the law. Jack had a promising future and well now things arent.
Im not going to lie I had a hard time getting into the book my A.D.D was being a total arse. Did I love everything when I could heck yes. The story was face paced, heart thuming. You just wanted them to figure everything out and go about their lives! But of course thats never easy. Unfortunately OR fortunately for me I totally connected with the characters at times I chewed the crap out of my poor nails.. I did have to take breaks during a few scenes because I couldnt handle what was going on. Yes im a total wuss but thats okay with me.
I really dug this story. It was fun and imaginative. I even read most of it with a Texas drawl which was highly entertaining. I would love to know what happens after though!! When you read it youll understand. Part of me is on the fence about wanting to another book and the other is just enjoying not knowing and for once reading a standalone. Yes I know im full of drama myself.

The premise for "Wanted: Dead or in Love" is fascinating. Monroe, a teen, who is at risk of developing a rap sheet for herself becomes inhabited by the spirit of Bonnie Parker, as in the Bonnie from Bonnie & Clyde. Her new friend, Jack, becomes inhabited by Clyde. Neither one of them are sure of what is happening to them but they realize early on that they need to put a stop to it before they get in more trouble. This is a highly imaginative young adult read that will have you flipping the pages quickly.
I really liked how the author split up the narrative. Part belongs to Monroe and part belongs to Clyde. I thought it was a really interesting choice to only have one member of the present duo and one member of the past duo narrate. It was interesting to see their take on each other's times and stories. I especially liked reading how Clyde was seeing things from within Jack's body. It was a really interesting perspective.
This book is a lot of fun. The story line is very different and will appeal to many different kinds of readers. I loved that it had both a present element and a past element (you all know how I love my historical fiction). You also have an almost sci-fi/ fantasy element with the whole spiritual inhabiting. I loved how Brunner was able to capture Bonnie and Clyde's language and way of speaking. You can almost picture them saying the things that they were saying in the book. I love when characters' voices are that vivid! It really makes for fun reading!

This is probably one of the most unique books I've read in quite some time. The storyline is unlike others and the narrative is creative and entertaining.
The author has a terrific way of writing in the first person with three different characters. With a chapter change, often there is a character narrative change and each character is written with their very own completely unique speech pattern, life outlook, and perspective on what's to come and what is occurring. Bring Bonnie and Clyde back to life isn't any easy task and bring them back while remaining as true to their personalities as one can try to do is extremely hard but the author manages to make it all believable.
I won't give the story away at all because I don't want to ruin a single thing but the author did an wonderful job of working out the accuracy of the Bonnie and Clyde life, gang, places and all historical facts. This book was really fun to read and I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone looking for a fun relatively quick read.

Since the death of her mother, Monroe has made a series of bad decisions. She is now on probation because of her reckless actions. One more slip will land her in jail. Unfortunately, her next slip is a real doozy. She opens a sealed case and touches one of the spent slugs that killed Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. When Monroe cuts her finger on the sharp edge of a slug, she creates a connection to the outlaw couple. This novel has such a unique style and idea. I had a hard time putting it down. The author creates and develops four distinct characters. She has done the research to make the paranormal outcome believable, but this is a well written work of contemporary fiction. Bonnie Parker is working hard at outsmarting Monroe and fully inhabiting her body, while Monroe's friend, Jack, tries to fight off the smart and dominating spirit of Clyde Barrow.

I freaking love Monroe. A main character that is gritty and makes bad choices. . . This book was different. It felt a bit stilted at first, but then it got going. All the Bonnie and Clyde information was great. A couple stumbling blocks, but altogether, a reallly fun and different read, and it left us hanging. . . More Clyde, yes please!

I enjoyed the book extremely until I read the final chapters. I though that the book was dragged on and suggested a sequel and, to my knowledge, one was never written. I would love to read the second book but if that is where the story ends my opinion stands.

The Low Down: High School grad Monroe works at her dad’s gangster-inspired restaurant/dinner theater. She is biding her time, trying to stay out of trouble so she can have a clean slate and head off to NYU in the fall. When her father returns from an auction with more gangster paraphernalia to be displayed in the restaurant, something in particular catches Monroe’s eye. Her personal favorite bad guys are Bonnie and Clyde, and her father has scored not only a couple of the slugs from the scene of their ambush, but a handwritten poem by Bonnie.
Prying open the lucite box that holds the bullets, she cuts her finger. While grasping the contents, it's as if she becomes part of a scene from Bonnie and Clyde’s past. When she comes to, Monroe, unable to return the bullets to their display case, shoves them in her pocket. But as she thinks and wonders, she hears a voice in her head...and soon figures out that it is none other than Bonnie herself.
At a party that night, Monroe unknowingly allows Clyde to inhabit the body of a fellow party-goer, Jack. As the two spirit stowaways try to figure out how to return from the dead (and to each other), Monroe and Jack learn of a way that they could send Bonnie and Clyde back where they came from - but not without a few thefts, assaults and revelations along the way.
Best Thang ‘Bout It: This book is both well-written and well-researched. The Bonnie and Clyde angle was fresh and new. Having grown up in the Dallas suburbs, I am quite familiar with their tale, and thoroughly enjoyed its use here. While the chapters are told by either Monroe or Clyde (giving a hint of who is important in the story), I find Clyde’s chapters are the most interesting (in his voice and the vernacular of the time when Clyde first operated a Browning Automatic Rifle). While he knows he is now in the modern world, he still thinks in the mindset of someone from the 20s/30s, as someone who had to scrabble to survive; where injustice and inequality and bad cops ran rampant. As a result, his instincts and reactions are from a time where his behavior was (almost) justified by a public that wanted the underdog to win.
I’m Cranky Because: Oh Jack. He is a literary chump, only there to serve as a vehicle for Clyde. He is unlikable (though that’s understandable, since he had no choice in what’s happened to him), and whenever he’s on the page, I knew he was just going to moan, complain and then Clyde would take over.
My main issue, however, is with this: when Clyde first takes over Jack’s body, there’s an assault. I spent the rest of the book wondering how the heck this was going to be resolved, since it was Jack’s body, Jack’s car, etc., that was seen, though "Clyde" had done the deed. Who would believe that Jack didn’t do it, that he was being inhabited by Clyde? Since the answer is NO ONE, this drove me crazy. While I don’t need to have things tied up in a neat little bow (and SPOILER ALERT, this book way isn’t), it made me a little wary of the story. I didn't want to care about these characters, you know? Maybe the author intended for the reader to think that the book’s ending would take place in a hail of gunfire, just like the Bonnie and Clyde’s demise. Regardless, it made me take a step back.
The Bottom Line: Overall, this was an entertaining book with some interesting characters, especially Bonnie and Clyde. I recommend it to all my gangsta-lovin' crew.

This book was crazy from the get go we meet Monroe Baker who is trying to keep her nose clean so she can go to NYU and move on with her life and spends her time working in her father's roaring 20's dinner show theater.
Upon touching some bullets from the days of Bonnie and Clyde she shows the other bullet to a guy named Jack who gets infected with Clyde while Monroe is infected with Bonnie. Bonnie and Clyde are back and don't want to die again. They are determined to do everything in their power to keep their bodies they inhabit. Monroe and Jack want to get rid of these gangsters and move on with their lives without getting into anymore trouble.

Great concept, interesting characters, lame ending. I loved the set up for this story and Brunner does a great job of creating realistic/historically accurate characters, but that ending, tho. reeks of a cliched horror movie ending (horror meaning the type of genre ending. I don't mean scary stuff). We don't even get an epilogue for Monroe and Jack. I did like how , but he just becomes a jerk. No redeeming qualities at all. If there were a sequel, it would lessen my annoyance, but, alas, there is not.
Did not finish
June 27, 2014This one just wasn't for me. The subject caught my interest--Bonnie and Clyde's spirits inhabiting the minds/bodies of a couple of teenagers and getting up to mayhem--and I liked Monroe, but the pacing was just off, for me. The reveal the "how" of it all was way too fast, IMO, and it all kind of happened before I cared enough about the characters. It's also a little more crass than I prefer.... So, yeah. Just not for me.

3.5/5.
The story was a little rushed at first and there was a little too much "telling" rather than "showing," but the book found its footing near the end, which resulted in a pretty good experience overall.

Extremely disappointing book! The main characters are very unlivable and never grow as people. They actually become less developed and mature as the story progresses. And the ghosts are so very two dimensional. Clyde in particular can't think past his need for the ladies. It's just sex on the brain the whole time and gets very repetitive and dull. The end is limp and predictable.

CREEPY AND COOL! Loved it - kept me in suspense the whole book. Thought it was cool how Bonnie & Clyde were "inside" their heads. Kept me guessing.
