I went in completely blind—only knowing I loved Pretty Girls and that this series came highly recommended. From the first chapter, I was shocked. Karin Slaughter does not ease you in—this book is dark, intense, and extremely graphic, so definitely ch...

Check trigger warnings before diving in. This one tackles some very tough subject matter.
Karin Slaughter is absolutely brutal — in the best way. I could not put this book down. She’s officially ruined thrillers for me because the bar is now set rid...
Kisscut
Â
Definitely a great read as always when it comes to Slaughter. This was a bit slow for me though, wasn’t my favorite but definitely not a bad read at all. Being the third in the series it’s hard not to compare to the others. Lena pisses me off to no e...
