I could’ve done without the racial stereotypes and graphic violence.

I loved this book and the introduction to Will Trent! I’ve read a handful of the books in the series but in random order. 

It look me a while to put some pieces together but once I did it was fantastic. 

Only giving this one 4.75 stars just instead of 5 because of some word usage that I just hate (r word, n word) but I kept in mind that this was from 2006.

Another little fun tidbit is this audiobook was originally published on “disks” so every so often it says “end of disk 1/disk 2” etc. as it goes along. Quite amusing.

Angie really irks my nerves. She’s such a bitch to Will because he knows her past. He deserves SO MUCH BETTER. Their attachment breaks my heart. You want to like Angie, and maybe some people will by the end, but i still don’t. Ride or die for Will Trent 🫡

This story was pretty dark and so interesting! It was a nice surprise to have a couple diff “POVs” as it added another level of complexity and emotion to the book.

A good friend recommended this series to me, after we both liked the TV series. He warned me that it was brutal, and he wasn't wrong. The subject matter is pretty...raw, and blunt, but well done.

I am looking forward to reading more in the series. Because the writing is gripping.

I’ve marinated on this for a while now and I wish I could rate it negative stars. I have no triggers. I have no problem reading disturbing content. At a certain point you have to wonder why an author not only imagines certain scenarios, but then feels it is acceptable to put them on paper. Certain things should not be content to be consumed for fun or pleasure. I’m so frustrated with myself for forcing myself to finish this book, and I will likely not read another by this author.

Doesn't age well but still an interesting book with some unexpected POVs. I enjoy Karin Slaughter and having read her more recent novels I am happy with her growth.
