Fallen by Karin Slaughter is a 2012 Dell/Random House publication. This fifth installment in the Will Trent series may be, arguably, I’m sure, the best one of the series thus far. Evelyn is babysitting for Faith when she becomes a victim of a home invasion. Once Faith arrives, she finds Emma safe and sound, but Evelyn has been taken. From this point on, the drama, action and suspense are a non-stop rollercoaster ride. Many burning questions are answered and some huge developments take place in t...
This year I'm doing a Reading Challenge; so I have 26 books with specific subjects that I need to read.Book 19: A book with an one-word titleThese books never fail to engage and impress!Before I started this book I was in the beginning of a bad reading slump, but as always Slaughter pulled me right out of it. Her writing style is so fluent and addictive, you just can't help but read and read and read.In Fallen we get a snippet of what Faith's life was about before she joined the GBI (Georgia Bur...
5 Stars for Fallen: Will Trent #5 (audiobook) by Karin Slaughter read by Shannon Cochran. This was another fast paced and hard hitting Will Trent novel. I think the characters are wonderful. It’s fun getting to know the characters a little better in each story. I’m looking forward to listening to the next book.
5 Thrilling StarsOh My Goodness! Has My Heart Stopped Pounding?! I think Not!Poor Faith Mitchell! My Heart was in my throat for most of this novel. “Fallen” by Karin Slaughter got me good. I felt for Faith Mitchell so much I couldn’t imagine being in her position. Driving up to her mother, Evelyn Mitchell’s house, expecting to pick up her baby girl and finding blood on the door handle? Then discovering the house in disarray, her mother gone, a dead body and having to protect herself and her dau...
She didn’t flinch. She didn’t falter. Instead, she put her forehead to his, looked him in the eye and told him, “Breathe.” Will let out a breath he felt like he’d been holding his entire life. I LOVE THIS SERIES. I LOVE WILL TRENT. ❤From book to book there isn’t a connection with the plots. With each book you get a story that sucks you in right from the get go and doesn’t let you go until you turn that last page. Each of the characters are changing in ways that are intriguing.

Finally, Will and Sara are together! Yay! This is the culmination of a sad and lonely existence for both of them. These 2 fine people deserve some happiness, especially Will. Before that happens though there is a great story which involves Faith and her Mom and a pretty colossal secret that is finally revealed. Faith and her Mom have always had a loving relationship and this brings them even closer. Both are cops and have to be strong in a man's world which helps them overcome a devastating blow...
4.5 Gritty Thriller StarsOh, Karin Slaughter, you really know how to get me. I'm totally loving reading this series and Will Trent is such a great character.This installment is very focused on Will's partner Faith. She shows up at her mother's house to a bloodbath and her mother is missing. The rest of the book focuses on figuring out why she was taken and how to get her back.Action-packed and typical of Slaughter, a few scenes are not for the faint of heart. I love that this was the real start
Audio 5 Stars Story 5 Stars This series is so addictive! I love how complex and flawed the characters are. Will Trent is the kind of hero I could read endlessly about. 😍
4.5 stars I have a theory that it's nearly impossible to read a Karin Slaughter book in more than a day. She's one of the few authors whose books I NEED to get and devour on the day they're released because I'm so engrossed in the characters and have been waiting a whole year to find out what happens to them next. If you like your murder mysteries on the dark and gritty side, if you're fascinated by the seething violence lurking in the human psyche, this author is a definitely going to make your...
It is official. I am halfway through the Will Trent series. I should be all caught up for when book 10 is released this year. Fallen by Karin Slaughter has to be the most suspenseful book in the series yet. In true Karin Slaughter fashion, the book begins with Faith Mitchell heading home from training and her mother, who is watching her daughter, isn’t answering the phone. She gets home and discovers a bloody handprint on the door and her mother gone. Her daughter is safely tucked away in the sh...
Fallen, the 5th in the Will Trent series, is hands down my favorite so far. I would give it more than five stars if I could. This was a very personal story for some of the regular characters we have come to know, which in turn made it personal for me as well (I’m very much invested in these people at this point). This wasn’t just a crime to be solved. It was a crime that must be solved- and with no less than a positive outcome. Faith Mitchell’s mother, Evelyn, is in serious trouble and Faith is...
