3.5 out of 5 
 Blindsighted focuses on the Main Character Sara, a pediatrician in a small town who also works as the coroner. Sara finds a dead body gruesomely slayed in a ritualistic killing and works with her ex husband the police chief to find the killer. 
 I enjoy gritty novels but for the squeamish of heart fair warning; there is A LOT of gore and details about the murders that take place in this book. Now the gorier the better is what I say but there was one scene (view spoiler)[ When they said he had raped the stab wound in her stomach?! *gags* (hide spoiler)] that had even me ME cringing. 
 The story is a slow build and by slow I mean slooooow which is why I didn't rate this higher. I really enjoyed the second half and how much it picks up as the case starts coming together but the start bored me a little. 
 I wanted to like Sara but she wasn't as Kick Ass as I was hoping for. Sara isn't a main character that is out there being a vigilantly which is good because I hate the characters that go head long into a crime without calling the police. I mean a lot of books wouldn't even happen if the MC just called the goddamn police when they were supposed to. But Sara wasn't weak either, as we learn towards the end she has been through some traumatic things and that is the reason her actions are a bit askew at times but I also didn't like her relationship with her ex with lends me towards the meh side of liking her. 
 (view spoiler)[ also she was raped on the toilet and she new that the first murder was like what happened to her. I get it's hard to talk about what happened to her but she really could have helped the police and other woman if she had just opened up a bit earlier (hide spoiler)] 
 Very mild spoilers about what the character relationships are like: 
 Now what really annoyed me about this book was our Police Chief 'The Ex husband'. He cheated on her because she didn't pay him enough attention and is now upset that she didn't 'LOVE' him enough to forgive him?!

 I don't care if she was to busy tending to her job or just spending time ignoring you, you talk to her and work shit out if you love her NOT cheat on her to prove a point #prick 
 The ending with Sara and her ex didn't sit well with me either(view spoiler)[ I get it, she went to her Mum for advise and found it in her heart to forgive but seriously?! Fuck that guy off. I don't care if he's the best sex you've had he's an idiot (hide spoiler)] 
 All my pet peeves aside I can't wait to read more of Karen Slaughter and hopefully see some badass woman catching bad guys and finding love they deserve.
