It felt like pulling teeth to get through this book. Emily's character felt as though her whole story was being a woman in a mans world. Andrea seemed like a whiny girl who had no idea which way was up. I think Bible was okay even thought he pretended to know everything. Lastly, fuck that doctor scene! I had to fast forward because FUCK THAT.

Please, read the trigger warnings before reading this book.

In typical Slaughter fashion, this is a brutal high-octane murder thriller with strong female characters and a wild plot. It is at times incredibly difficult to read, but hard to put down. You’ll find yourself shouting at and cheering on different characters.

Slaughter is known for dark details and unflinching portrayals of the worst of humanity. This book has a lot of that. In my opinion, this story flirts with having a bit too much. I recommend extreme caution to anyone sensitive to rape and sexual assault. (There are further trigger warnings 

That said, I really enjoyed the direction she took Andy’s character in. You can tell there’s a lot of growth from the previous book and she is really starting to settle into herself. I also adored her partner on the Marshall’s force. He brought some much needed humor to the story. The villains in this story are also very evil. There is no doubt about who you’re supposed to root for in this one. 

All in all, if you like dark reads and are not easily triggered, you may enjoy this one. It is well written and engaging, but not for the faint of heart.

Mystery was intriguing the flash back scenes to the 80s really added something to the story. This was second in the series however it wasn't necessary to read the first book to fallow the story or enjoy. However i admit certain things might have been missed in detail because i didn't read the first book. However it wasn't necessary to enjoy the story and mystery. Not that this book has domestic abuse, sexual assault, violence, neglect and strong language so be aware of that before picking up this book. The mystery and characters moved the story and kept me intrigued
