I have two questions. 1. Can you read this series out of order or is it best to read in order? 2. Is the series as graphic and gruesome as Pretty Girls? I had a difficult time with that book. I think she's a great writer but don't want to read anything else as brutal as Pretty Girls.

Amanda (Fiction Addictions on YT) I have not read any of the will Trent series, and I loved this book. I don't think you need to read the previous novels to understand this one.

Just curious how/why someone rated this book a 1 when it doesn't even come out until Summer of 2016? Sounds like someone is trying to sabotage the book's ratings. I'm sure goodreads can't patrol all comments/ratings but this doesn't seem right.

The publishers purposely give out advanced copies so you can read the book and rate it before it is released. They are hoping that ratings are good and raise hype around the book and the book release.
This book was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys suspense novels. (less)

I say this because 1) Angie’s character more than likely would’ve utilized their daughter to manipulate Will previously if it was really his 2) Collier does too many favors for Angie and this girl that aligns with the story that the girl is more than likely his because he is also the guy who picked Angie up from the hospital after having Jo 3) the sentence you’re referring to about jo’s Father’s attributes I feel like is Angie actually pretending with herself that Will is the father because it is meshed into a section of the book where Angie is reliving the past with Will. If She had kept Jo, Will would’ve been her fatherly role no matter who the biological father was. (less)

Since Emma (Faith's daughter) is 1 year old - and I didn't read a few other books, who's the dad? I remember she was hitting it off with the college dean (book 2) - but just curious who the dad is.. Thanks

I didn't know that this was a series. I saw it in the bookstore and thought it looked really good. Do I have to read these books in order? I already started reading this one and I am really into it so far, I'd hate to have to put it down now and go all the way to the first book. Am I missing out on a lot of huge stuff? Will I be lost if I keep reading this book?

There is a lot of background about the characters which I believe enables you to understand them better. However, if you are enjoying the book go ahead. Once you finish you may want to start at the beginning. Does this help?(less)
