Relation Toward 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 . . .

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 ofAt 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
Difficult subject, without a doubt, and perhaps frustrating that there is no final resolution. I don't know if fiction thrillers can always be compared to "real life," but in life there are not always happy endings. So I guess I felt that it was not unrealistic to have loose ends in Kisscut. I have read some reviewers who have said that none of the main characters are "likeable." They are definitely flawed, but I do like watching their relationships unfold and develop, warts and all. I was able
I'm a little torn about this book..overall I liked the story but if I linger a little more on its parts there are a lot of things that didn't convince me.One of the biggest problems, I'm sad to say, is the main characters: Sara, Jeffrey and Lena. They're not very likeable and it's very difficult for me to sympathize with them and theirs problems; also theirs attitude are often quite erratic which doesn't facilitate any understanding between them and the reader (or me in this case). Jeffrey, for
5 STARSIt is a very rare and precious thing when you read a story that makes enough impact to change you as a person.This book did it for me.It was the surname Slaughter that caught my attention in the bookshop. As a young man, I firmly believed that women could not write a thriller as well as a man. My (limited) experience with female authors in this genre, up to then, were stories that were not very violent or shocking, and left me feeling that they were more focused on a love story for the

EXCERPT: At twenty-eight weeks old, Jenny Weaver's child might have been viable outside the womb had its mother not tried to flush it down the toilet. The foetus was well developed and well nourished. The brain stem was intact and, with medical intervention, the lungs would have matured over time. The hands would have learned to grasp, the feet to flex, the eyes to blink. Eventually, the mouth would have learned to speak of something other than the horrors it spoke to Sara of now. The lungs had
