Rendition As Books Kisscut (Grant County #2)
Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember, but when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton--the town's pediatrician and medical examiner--finds herself entangled in a terrible tragedy.What seemed at first to be a horrific but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self -mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn.
The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted, and it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile, detective Lena Adams, still recovering from her sister's death and her own brutal attack, finds herself drawn to a young man who might hold the answers. But unless Lena, Sara, and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again . . .

Okay, maybe it's just me but this book was a little over the top with twisted and not enough meat and potatoes to offset it. I love Karin Slaughters writing but this one had some female characters that I found indecisive and feeble, not at all what I am used to from her. The last quarter of the book really picked up and I can't wait to get to the next in this series. Warning: this story is not for anyone that can not handle revolting, despicable people that commit horrific crimes against
Note: The crimes involved in Kisscut are perpetrated against children. It's not my intention to spoil the plot in any way but I know some readers have hard limits and it's best you are aware up front. Kisscut is the second installment in Karin Slaughter's thriller series titled: Grant County. In my opinion, it's just as good as her epic debut, but I had to take off a star based on personal enjoyment. Don't misunderstand, this book is still stellar, but it was damned hard to read. The subject
Dark and Disturbing Since I am so behind on this series, I will only be writing mini-reviews until I am caught up. Kisscut is book two in the Grant County series. The plot is even more gruesome and disturbing than book one. There are allusions to pedophilia, female castration, and sexual abuse. Needless to say, it was beyond difficult to read. However, Sarah, Jeffrey, and Lenas characters helped me make it through. I didnt love this book as much as book one, but I still enjoyed. My bingefest of
Second in the Grant County series, Kisscut kept me up over my weekend until I finished it, that is typical Karen Slaughter. She delivers on everything, great characters, intriguing mystery, and plenty of creepy criminals. This time it's pedophile pornographers outed because one poor kid was pushed too far. I pretty much figured out one of the monsters before his reveal, but there were at least 3 things that shocked and surprised me along the way.
At first, I felt this story had too much of a drama/almost chick-lit feel to the style of writing Slaughter is great at character development and intricacies between her characters but it went a bit too far for me in the first part of the book. Then, the story started to kick in and the more I read, the more I enjoyed it. Jeffrey Tolliver was interesting, haunted, dark and broody, and driven. Sara Linton felt like a real woman with a career that takes her into the morgue, guilt about her child
I'm glad I was warned but even still.. this was brutal. Equally tough, too, were the emotional hurdles that the recurring cast had to tackle. The only light spot was the slowly-being-repaired relationship between Sara and Jeffrey.I need a fluffy story, stat.
