Book Angie is horrible, and things reach a point in this novel where I‘m just as mad at Will for enabling her behavior as I am at Angie. That aside, this is classic Karin Slaughter - violent, graphic, and unputdownable.

Too many violent and dark themes throughout the book for my personal liking. A heart racing mystery lures you in to keep on reading. Twisted, but that‘s to be expected with Karin slaughter. A great read if you enjoy this genre
Bk14 of July & Bk6 of #JubilantJuly #readathon is done. This one was an Angie novel, so of course I felt like punching someone through most of it! Will & Sara are called to a scene with a dead ex cop & a lot of blood. When Angie is identified as the possible source of the blood, Will goes nuts. The story unfolds with NBA stars, asshole agents & illegitimate daughters just to name a few. Another excellent thriller. #BookspinBingo #SeriesLove2023

This the 8th book in the Will Trent series. It follows the murder of an ex-cop at an abandoned construction site, where Trent and his team find evidence that links the crime to his troubled past. The novel is a seamless blend of twisty police procedural and ingenious psychological thriller, that explores themes of love, loss, and redemption.
Excellent book! But then, of course…Angie! I understand she‘s part of what makes the series “interesting”, but OMG!! She‘s such a terrible person! Anyway, there was a lot of interesting information revealed about Will and Angie‘s past. Definitely a must read. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Will Trent of the GBI is brought in on a case that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an ex-cop. Studying the body, Sara Linton, the GBI‘s newest medical examiner and Will‘s lover, realizes that the extensive blood loss didn't belong to the corpse. Bloody footprints leading away from the scene indicate there is another victim, who will die soon if she isn‘t found.
I picked this up with a handful of Karin Slaughter‘s other books for a couple bucks at a library sale a while back. This is the first one of her books that I‘ve ever read. I don‘t know what I was expecting, but all the talk about rape and child sexual abuse really made this a difficult read for me personally.

I couldn't stop listening to this one once I started. Slaughter really brought out some of her best techniques in this book and the twists just kept coming from the beginning to the end. What a wild ride!
I didn't think I could dislike Angie's character more than I already did but this book proved that theory wrong.
Such a great thriller.
Here‘s hoping August brings a summer slowdown so I can concentrate on something other than series reads during the week. Made some serious progress on the Will Trent series this week by reading 3 back to back to back. I had almost forgotten just how damn good Slaughter is. But now I need to take a break from looney Lena and asshole Angie. #SeriesRead2021 x 3.
Pretty happy to be finished with this.. entertaining but didn't do too much me.

“Trust me, Will. Life always makes you pay for your personality.” Amanda gave him a rueful smile. “It catches up with her every single second of the day.”
Obviously, one of my favorite authors is Karin Slaughter. I enjoyed reading this. If you like disturbing dark crime, complicated characters, and full of action stories, then WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! START W/ THE GRANT COUNTY SERIES!
Love the Will and Sarah novels. Again, Karin Slaughter does not disappoint.

one book down!
@TheAromaofBooks
More crime than mystery, but what an absolute ride! SO excited to have more will Trent books ready to go 😬😬
If I thought June was late 😅 July is posted on the second last day 😅 this is a bit optimistic but I have faith I can catch up in August 😅 there is some I‘m really looking forward too here! I also need to, so I can buy Jane harpers new one out in September!
I love a quiet, lazy Saturday morning! I get some reading time knowing I don‘t have a thing planned today besides taking care of my little guy and enjoying some down time. 🥰 Spending the day with Will Trent is definitely a bonus!
My first boohaul in ages! Second one is coming soon though because I couldn't find the ones I went looking for. Usually I go in and pick up books for my summer holiday but this year I'm taking my holiday in smaller parts so I decided to do this now. My first time around the city center since March. It felt soo good! 😊
Thank you @HarperCollins for the book. It was a wonderful surprise and I can‘t wait to read it.
I almost quit this one, but I'm so glad I didn't because if you can handle the horrors, this is one of he best written books. I stayed up way too late finishing it, it just kept getting better and better.
As well as the main story being brilliant, the back stories and character development among the main cast was very good and illuminating. Angie Polaski is one of my all time favourite characters; she's up there with Lisbeth Salander.
Despite The Kept Woman being number eight in series, I had no problem picking up the backstories and characters. Karin Slaughter writes them as if you knew them your whole life!
Detective Will Trent is on the case of a missing woman and murder at an abandoned construction site. Medical examiner Sara Linton is at his side, (not just professionally), but she‘s not the only woman with eyes on Will.
Way to pick up the pace with the second half!
#TBR books from the library. I‘m currently addicted to #teamslaughter and been meaning to read the merciless 📚
#AyUpAugust #Day8 #DontMarryHer Reading The Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter, you really wish someone had stood up & screamed at Will “DONT MARRY HER!” as soon as he thought about marrying Angie Polaski aka Devil Woman. This character is one of the most devious, manipulative, twisted & thoroughly evil character of either sex I‘ve ever read. Kudos to Ms Slaughter for her ability to believably write the most damaged characters.
I'm on a Karin Slaughter kick it seems. This one was a bit slow in the beginning but really picked up. Not my favorite by her, but still a great read!
I actually had no idea that I had so many different grey books. All different shades, but all grey.

How did I not know about Karin Slaughter before now? I grabbed this off Kindle Unlimited despite it being #8 in a series and just jumped right in. Maybe now I need to go back and read books 1 - 7.
I got to meet Karin Slaughter! She is so nice! I also got her new audio book (tagged) and a tote which she signed! 💜
Some of these honestly look brand new to me. I have never had such good luck at a library bag sale! 😁
March has been a Karin Slaughter month. Three of my reads have been Slaughter on audio. And folks...this is the best Slaughter yet. Jacked up beyond all reason. Truly warped. Psychological thriller + police procedural and edge of your seat action, with all the characters in the Will Trent series involved. Highly recommended.

I‘m planning to finish this book today. Will Trent is another favorite of mine. Don‘t tell my husband but my fictional boyfriends are nothing like him. #Booknerd #bookaddict #bookaddiction #mystery #series #fictionalboyfriends.
Returning to a favorite series is like visiting old friends. #Booknerd #bookaddict #bookaddiction #mystery #bookworm #series
This has been my favorite Will Trent yet. An engaging and suspenseful crime drama. And Kathleen Early‘s narration is fantastic.
I am loving this one! One of my favorite Will Trent books. And the narration is spot on.
Just started this this morning but already I‘m loving it. Think it‘s going to be a great addition to the Will Trent series.
Our cruise ended today. I managed the stack above and 4 ebooks during the week. I love vacations. Off to Tampa for some Blue Jays spring training.
Camping out in Cayman Islands.
We definitely have some snow although not as much as what other areas are expecting. I am going to stay in and make my way through this one. #winterstormreadathon
Yay, I think I've finally broken through my slump! Karin Slaughter to the rescue, this Will Trent book was every bit as twisty and gritty as I knew it would be. Loved it! This series is SO FANTASTIC and I'm trying really hard not to think too much about the fact that I'm all caught up. I'll be waiting anxiously for the next installment 😭
Note: Definitely read the Grant County series *before* Will Trent!
#MusicalNewYear #day13 #CopSong My favourite literary cop is definitely Will Trent. He‘s flawed with a horrible backstory, but he‘s very much the nice guy, to his detriment where his nuts ex wife is concerned. When he falls in love with Dr Sara Linton, Angie goes on a psychotic stalker rampage & even then Will tries to work things out peacefully before finally seeing her as the bitch queen she is. He‘s also the nice guy to his GBI partner Faith.
Confession: I haven't been able to get through a novel in over a month, I feel so off my game 😭
But I just picked up Slaughter's latest Will Trent book that I had been saving for a rainy day and it immediately grabbed my attention - I'm hopeful that the tide is about to change! 🤞🏽
This is where I need to stay away from the clearance section at Barnes and Noble. The first step is to admit that you have a problem. I have a problem with buying books. Mind you I have a whole bag of books sitting in my room. 😂😂 #karinslaughter #thekeptwoman
