The first book in the Grant County series was fucked up but fun. I hated Kisscut. I could rant for hours about how gross it is. I don’t know if the homophobic and anti-choice protagonists are a product of the time but I found it really disturbing in a book full of pedophilia and police brutality.

Karin never fails to amaze me with her writing style which makes you feel disturbed and alarmed when reading. The plot was rather dark in subject matter making it gruesome in some cases along with adding some twisted details than it already is.
