My usual Karin Slaughter spiel (check out my earlier reviews for this series if you want more in depth thoughts): the main characters are irritating, her writing is great, the stories are fantastic, I'm engrossed from page one and usually finish these books in about a day. Highly recommend if you like cop thrillers. They're the best I've read.

I really enjoy the character of Lena Adams. And not just her character, but her role within the story. Basically, she sucks. She's not a horrible human being in any interesting ways, she just kind of sucks. She's a sloppy cop and can be a little cruel and self absorbed, but all in very normal ways. She's not a villain, just a sucky person. I don't read a lot of thrillers where people are allowed to suck in normal capacities. The dynamic she brings to the story with her conflict with the usual main characters and history with Sara Linton in particular is fantastic. I've loved both Will Trent novels she's been in.

At this point in the series, I'm starting to get a little irritated at the romance between Will and Sara. As a couple they're fine. I like them together, I hope they stick around as a couple. But I don't like the romance drama Slaughter has started writing in. Every book they have a problem of Will not talking to Sara and then Sara not talking back. They both push each other way and worry about their relationship failing until the end where they express their feelings and promise to stay together forever. It's happened a couple times and it's getting annoying.

Great book, all in all. If you read two books out of this series, I highly recommend the two with Lena Adams (Broken and Unseen).
