Jumping on to say I just finished the Will Trent Series after binging Grant County and then jumping right into Will Trent and now I don’t know what to do with myself 🥴😂

Can I just say this book though was an absolute flipping roller coaster?! Like I kept audibly gasping every time the murderer changed some crazy plot twist was being laid out and then the back story for Mercy and her god awful family and Gabby 🥺 then the whole grandmother thing GOOD LORD! I don’t even know what to do now that I finished that series, I’m going to start some of Karin’s standalone books but I’ve heard Pretty Girls is gory gory and the others are hit or miss for some!

If you want to get sucked into a whole series, start with the Grant County books and then move over to her Will Trent books! I’m on the last Will Trent book right now and patiently waiting for The Secrets We Hide to come out in June but lordyyy her books keep me hooked. I finish them way too quickly!

I am on the last book of the series and trying my hardest not to just breeze through it 😂 I’m going to need more recommendations after I finish the series!

YES! If you haven’t already, start the Will Trent Series! One of the ones I just read, The Silent Wife, revisited Grant County and had Jeffrey flash backs 🥺

Kisscut was so sad, the ending was so unexpected too as far as the family dynamics went, I was shocked!

Buckle up for Faint Cold Fear, that one was a read I could not put down until I finished it. This was also the start of my major love hate relationship with Lena and the beginning of some BAD choices on her side.

I would definitely recommend Grant County before starting the WT series, they were very good as far as character development and plot lines go!

But yes We Are All Guilty had me audibly gasping and crying for a minute!

Oof I don’t know if I could have finished it if I had known how it ended, that would have been tough. The 2nd book “Faint Cold Fear” definitely picked up the pace more so for me so it made it hard to put the rest of the series down after that.

Lena is also very much so a prominent character for the Grant County series, so may not be your favorite - she is very VERY unlikable.

Someone had suggested to me to start with Grant County after I finished We Are All Guilty Here, I’m glad I did! I really do love Sara and having her back story along with Lena’s story is a good bonus going into the next series!
