This book has all the grit, gore and twists as Pretty Girls, but more depth from characters and their friendships. The romantic subplot is very raw, and realistic as there aren’t just automatic happy endings when shit hits the fan. People make mistakes in this book and there are consequences for them. There are multiple instances that my jaw dropped and I had to set the book down, which my favorite part of thriller.
Also, I am so surprised I haven’t picked this book up sooner; it has been on my shelf for two years. I love procedural tv shows and this is like if Law and Order SVU was rated R.
Karin is a master craft writer. Already ordered book 2.

Had a hard time at first as I don't normally read gore stuff like this. But push past that and it's an incredible ride.
I really admire Sara's resilience. She's such a strong FMC. The fact that she's a pediatrician who has a coroner side job just screams badass. I also love the tension in her relationship with Jeff. Battling personal and interpersonal issues while going on and saving people's lives is not an easy task. It's not so hard to relate their lives to ours. And the fact that things like that happen to them, makes you think you're in a much better situation.
Blinsighted tackled the effect of trauma. The differences in the survivor's willingness to live after going through hell, and how it can alter the direction of their life.
Notice also the subtlety of how she portrayed the stages of grieving in the life of Lena.
And the horror of how one perceives something. I cannot fcking get it to my head how someone could interpret the bible that way. Goes to show how differently the mind really works in each of us. Give just a small twisted belief to a psycho and they'll worship living it that way for the rest of their life.
and the fact that they live amongst us, and walk among us is crazy. Makes one paranoid, how well do you know a person? Even when you seem like you know them, you don't.
