Amy (thenikitagirl) | 636 comments Hey Ladies & Gents...we thought we'd pick up where we left off six months ago and read the second part of Karin Slaughters Will Trent series.

I'll likely have to take a break after this one to finish the Grant County series, as I believe you're supposed to have read them all before finishing the Will Trent series. They start to cross over in part three of Will Trent.

It started off with a boom as always. Only forty pages in and of course Slaughter is pulling you in with her well spun story right away. Graphic as always. 😳

Amy (thenikitagirl) | 636 comments Dana...you're farther into it...is it as good as Triptych so far...


message 3: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments I'm about 150 pages in! I am on vacation so haven't gotten as much done, but I'm liking it waaay more than Triptych. I'm glad Angie hasn't been in it that much lol


message 4: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Just starting tonight. Only 7 pages in and I can tell it's probably going to grab me.


message 5: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Just finished chapter one and really like it. I think the fact that Will is in it from the very beginning helps a lot.

I'm going to read the Grant County series first before venturing into this one.

Enjoy! ☺️


message 9: by Tyler (new)

Tyler After I finish this one I'll read the Grant County series, then come back for the rest of this series.


message 10: by Mandy (new)

Mandy (penn_y_lane) | 547 comments Made a start last night and have just started chap 3 😀


message 11: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments I think I'll try the same as Amy, Tyler etc and start the Grant county next if that's the crossover....

Just over 200 pages, they are really highlighting his dyslexia in this one. I wonder if it would even be possible to get to his position with what he says he can't do ? My boyfriend has it, but no where near as bad


message 12: by Jaime (new)

Jaime (absorbedinpages) I finished the second part of Will Trent series. I have to go back to Grant Country and read Kisscut. I will do that and catch you all at Will Trent Part 3 Undone.


message 13: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments I'm a bit confused, who/where do they cross over exactly? I hate having too many series on the go or I forget everything 😐


message 14: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Don't worry Dana, you're not the only one confused. From what I understand the third Will Trent book is where Grant County crosses over. But all of the Grant County series takes place before Undone....I think? I'm really selling it here, aren't I, lol. That's the part I'm not to sure about.


message 15: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments haha, thanks! I'll just stick with the buddy reading system


message 16: by Perri (new)

Perri | -43 comments I finally have a copy and will start today!


message 17: by Perri (new)

Perri | -43 comments Prologue-WTG Abby! I always think I could do that-but you never know. And TG I've never had to find out :P


message 18: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments Starts off with a bang! Me too Perri, I like to think I would be able to


message 19: by Perri (new)

Perri | -43 comments I guess I was a bit hasty, but that just adds to the tension


message 20: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments Finished last night! Really enjoyed this one more than Triptych, I like the Faith character... Karin Slaughter is still a little more graphic than I would prefer, but I will continue to read the series because she is a very good writer. I guess it is Grant County next?!


message 21: by Tyler (new)

Tyler I'll join you on that, just need to finish this one first. When were you thinking of starting?


message 22: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments I'm good whenever, no rush, looks like most people have already started the Grant series, so might just be us :)


message 23: by Tyler (new)

Tyler How about the start of September? I should be able to finish everything up by then....I hope.


message 24: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (meldoc) | 634 comments Hello everyone, I have read Tryptich....which book should I read next? I thought Fractured was next. Which ones are Grant County? Thanks.


message 25: by Dana (new)

Dana (dkmckelvey) | 623 comments Sounds good!

Melanie, i guess the Grant County series comes before Will Trent and then they tie into each other


message 26: by Perri (new)

Perri | -43 comments Melanie, I also read Triptych and now reading Fractured . I gather that the next in this series ties into the Grant County books. This reminds me of when Buffy and Angel started crossing over.


message 27: by Mandy (new)

Mandy (penn_y_lane) | 547 comments Finished this yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to the rest of the series but am happy to hold off a while as I have read the Grant series and I have many other series to carry on with in the meantime.

I'm seeing what you mean, Dana. I would think there would for sure be a written test along the way. Not to mention writing reports and stuff.


message 29: by Amy (new)

Amy (thenikitagirl) | 636 comments Back at it with this one. Sorry I dropped off there for a week. Summers are always the worst for my reading slumps, but this just keeps wanting me to get back to my book. Company and summer events have kept me
From it this week.

I agree with loving Faith so far in this one. And yes, I found they have been constantly showing from the first seventy pages, multiple occasions of Will avoiding reading and "forgetting his glasses"...Makes sense though I didn't know he had dyslexia.


message 30: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Holy crap, I finally finished. Had a little slow period there for my reading. I really liked it though. I liked how it was less descriptive then the first one, if you know what I mean. Looking forward to continuing on with the Grant County series now. Hopefully I can pick up the pace a little.


message 31: by Mandy (new)

Mandy (penn_y_lane) | 547 comments I am having a slow period at the mo too, I've not finished one single book yet this month !!


message 32: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Not really sure who to ask or where to ask it, but could we get a thread created for Blindsighted (Grant County #1). Dana and I are reading it, that way we can have a place to discuss it. Also, for anyone else who decides to read it too.


message 33: by Sandy (new)

Sandy | 188 comments I could have sworn I saw a thread for Blindsighted - let me try to find it.


message 34: by Sandy (new)

Sandy | 188 comments 2017/2018 Series Group Read > Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter (Grant County #1) - September 2017 - Spoiler Zone

Under the JD Robb group there is a buddy read for Blindsighted.
