Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter
5.0
After starting 2023 with straight up fantasy, I decided I needed a break, a thriller from one of my favourite authors did just the trick.
I DNF'd Blindsighted (1st in Grant County series) years ago, then attempted it again in 2020 after I binged and loved the Will Trent series. On 2nd attempt this book got 5 stars and now, here we are on my 3rd go and it's still just as good! I've never gotten around to reading all of the books in the Grant County series so here we are, attempting it. I'd like to get it done before the new Will Trent release this year which I think is definitely doable as Slaughter's writing, her stories and her characters are so addictive!
The characters are definitely what make Karin's books for me, I'm so invested in them and find that the stroies are really easy to go back to which can't be said for a lot of thrillers. Blindsighted took me by surprise on this read too because I totally forgot who the killer was and even though all the signs were there, screaming and shouting at my from the pages, I still didn't guess who did it.. I was so shocked when the reveal happened and I started connecting the dots.
It might be strange to say but all of Karin's books are full of gore and hard hitting topics but I find a lot of comfort in them and I'm looking forward to getting comfy with the rest of the series.
