I love Karin Slaughter, and so far I'm loving her Grant County series even more than the rest of her books. She's so absolutely brutal and doesn't pull her punches in the slightest. She wants the reader to feel uncomfortable and I adore that. She's so good at it.

The characters are amazing. I love Sara and Lena, and even Jeffrey's pretty okay. I love that they're all awful in such unique ways, and she does such a good job writing from their perspective. Like you'll be in Lena's head as she does something and see it as absolutely justified, it makes total sense because that's how Lena's brain works. And then you'll switch over to Jeffrey who's unbelievably upset that Lena would do such a stupid thing. It's masterfully done.

I do think the plot of this book kind of got away from her. It felt a little too overblown, like it needed to be reeled in a little more. It wasn't bad, but I definitely wasn't into this particular book for the mystery element.

I'm obsessed with this series and can't wait to get to the other four books, but I'm trying to lengthen the process and not just binge them all in a week (I could and I totally want to lol).
