So I purchased a copy of Indelible and I read it over a 3 or 4 day stretch. I have to say that although the book was wonderful as usual, it was very hard to follow at first. The book bounces back and forth from a modern day crisis to things happening in the past in Jeffrey Tolliver’s home town of Sylacauga, AL. At times I had to stop and think for a moment and remind myself where we were in the story. LOL
However, it was just as “gotta know what happens” as the previous three books, especially since what you read about in the past in Sylacauga relates to what’s happening in the modern day crisis. Basically there’s a hostage situation at the police station and a lot of the major players are caught in the fray. Interspersed with that is a tale of friendship and betrayal from the beginning of Sara & Jeffrey’s relationship - based on a visit to Sylacauga. You won’t be able to put this book down any more than you’ll be able to put the first three down, that much I can guarantee you!
There are two more books in this series - Faithless & Beyond Reach. Triptych is also supposed be tied into the series somehow, but it’s not actually a part of the series. My next quest is to obtain a copy of Faithless so I can start it. I’m sure it will be just as good as the first four books in the series.
This one gets 4 stars, not because it as bad, but because it was hard to follow at times.

Ok, so book 3 is finished and I need to obtain copies of books 4 & 5. Right now that’s going to have to wait, as I’m out of $$ and out of credits at Paperback Swap. 
In any case, “A Faint Cold Fear” is just as much of a thrill ride as the first two books in the series.
Start out with an apparent suicide, which bring tragedy to Sara Linton and her family when her sister is attacked near the scene of the crime. Then another apparent suicide turns up, causing Jeffrey and Sara to question whether there is a murderer on the loose. Add to this former detective Lena Adams, who is now a security guard at the college and yet another murder - this time on the college staff. Plus, it appears that Lena’s getting involved with someone and that the someone in question might not be the best person for her.
I couldn’t bear to put this book down and I can’t wait to get a copy of the next book, Indelible.
Another 5 star book - and number 3 in the RIP III Challenge.

Ok, so I finished the 2nd book in the Grant County Series by Karin Slaughter called “Kisscut.” Another absolutely awesome read. Yet another “can’t put it down” book. And believe me, I’m almost finished with book 3 and it’s the same way.
When a teenager is killed in the local skating rink parking lot, pediatrician and part-time medical examiner Sara Linton makes some horrifying discoveries during the autopsy. There are things that just don’t add up and it’s up to Sara, Jeffrey, and Lena to figure them out. What they find will horrify you, but you just won’t be able to put that book down. You’ll have to find out what happens next.
This book takes twists and turns and keeps you guessing the entire time you’re reading it. Believe me when I say that you will most definitely be begging for more, and will go looking for the next book in the series as soon as you finish “Kisscut.”
Another 5 star book from Karin Slaughter, this is my final book in the 28 in 20008 challenge and book 2 in the R.I.P. Challenge.

Holy. Cow. That book was awesome. It was fast paced, you never knew what was going to happen next and I hated, and I mean hated to put it down. It was a book recommended by my friend Jessy at work. She has the whole series so far, and promised to bring me the other books as well. I can’t wait to get them.
Blindsighted is a suspense genre book and let me tell you, there is plenty of it! When a murder is committed in a small town, pediatrician/medical examiner Sara Linton is pulled into the thick of it. The murder is quite grisly and unfortunately won’t be the last one. The murder seems to have a religious bent to it, and frankly, adding to the mystery is a postcard Sara receives in the mail with a haunting Bible verse on it.
Of course, you can’t forget the fact that the first murder victim’s twin sister is a detective on the town’s police force, or that the police chief is Sara’s ex-husband. And the murderer? You’d never expect who it turns out to be!
The book does a very good job at hinting around at ghosts in the past and then later, when the time is right, revealing exactly what they are. Not like some books which either hint at it and then tell you right away what happened, leaving no room for excitement or hinting at it but never actually telling you what happened, leaving you feeling confused as to why it’s important.
I have to give this book 5 stars. This is book # 27 of my 28 in 2008, and is book # 1 in the RIP III challenge.
