She’s had better books than this. Main characters were easy to sympathize with, but they were still hard to like. Too many layers of story going on at once, and the whole thing that kicked it off was so disgusting. Unfortunately, that first scene got revisited three more times, and it got worse each time.

3.5

I feel like this story started out strong and then fizzled out. The story eventually all comes together, but I felt like it took so long to deal with the Kelly Wilson plot, and the characters dealing with their backstory sometimes felt disjointed. It’s well written and I wanted to know more as I read, but there’s something about it that stopped me from really loving it.

Not a typical Slaughter book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Although there were no big twists throughout, the beginning chapters are in typical Slaughter fashion - fast paced, brutal and gut wrenching. I had to put it down after the first chapter just to digest what had happened. 

This isn't a thriller novel, but i5mt does cover some pretty graphic stuff - make sure to check your trigger warnings before diving in.

This was my first Karin Slaughter book and it certainly won't be my last (in fact, I've already started another one). This book was very dark and graphic but it was an incredible roller coaster. There were multiple plot twists I never saw coming.

The novel mostly takes place in the present day where a recent tragedy has occurred but also flashes back to a family tragedy that happened in 1989. The dynamic between our two protagonists, sisters named Charlie and Sam, is incredibly interesting to read.

I don't want to say too much else because I would spoil something but if you're into dark thrillers, you would love this. Readers beware that there are graphic depictions of rape, murder, and miscarriage in this novel.
