I hate ALL characters but I also love them.
I love this author very much but she obviously has a sick mind.
And probably so do I, because I phisically can't stop reading all her books.

I hate Lena Adams as a character and don't enjoy reading any book with her in it. 

I've read all the Will Trent books and it is never brought up again that Lena is an actual murderer.  She murdered Chuck Gaines.  In this book, the police work didn't move the plot along.  Nothing would have been solved if the murderer hadn't confessed to Lean.  It was a waste of the reader's time to read a book where nothing the main characters did mattered.  Also, Mason James in the latest Will Trent book was a plastic surgeon, but in this book did something with kids.  I hate inconsistencies like that.

  I don't know if I'll keep reading the rest of the Grant County books.  I don't think I can take anymore Lena.

I love this series and this author so much! The third book was the slowest out of the series so far but still good nonetheless. The ending literally the last sentence I said “whaaat” to myself. Any time that happens I have to bump my review up to at least a 4. It takes a lot to stump me and I really did not see the twists coming. I usually don’t in Karin Slaughter books. 

I don’t usually read series I more so read stand-alones so I found myself getting a little annoyed with the same old same old from these characters. But that being said I still am curious about how their lives will pan out and I’m excited to read the rest of this series. 

The second book was really disturbing but this book wasn’t AS bad as that so I’m glad I was able to read on in the series. Some things had me wondering why certain things happened but I guess it did come together full circle in the end. Can’t wait for book 4!
