I am not usually down for dual timelines but sheesh it worked in this one. I am obsessed with Sarah and Jeffrey's relationship so I loved hearing the backstory (although I know they don't have a happy ending at the end of the series.) Also, I was super happy that Lena was not a core element of this book because I am sick of her ass.

The entire book was so fast-paced, not a dull moment. I will say, some of it is far-fetched. At this point in the series, the character's lives are far-fetched. Ain't no way individual people are experiencing these things over and over again. Also major trigger warnings for homophobia and child abuse.

This was truly a thriller of a different calibre. The story was so incredibly phenomenal and complex! This is so far, for me, the best book in the series! I freaking loved it!!! No idea if I will ever really get over this book.

It is still highly recommended to read the books in order anyway rather than randomly picking one up :))

Favorite of the Grant County series so far. I think Slaughter does a great job of navigating both triggering content and characters with care. I love how Sara Linton had served as the moral compass for this cast of characters, but after this book I’m siding eyeing her ability to overlook major red flags when it comes to Jeffery. Let’s just say he must be laying it down QUITE well.
