This book starts of really well, and you wont be able to see it coming, and as the story moves on it talk about the life of main character in between, gets somewhat repetitive and ends with a easy predictable plot.
That doesn't mean its bad book, just the that opening was just too god damn good

My second Karen Slaughter book (Pretty Girls being my first) and I am just amazed by the way she is able to make me want to stop reading forever but also not want to put the book down. One thing I've learned is that nothing Slaughter puts on the page is filler- every detail comes back to hit you in the face. So excited to continue the Will Trent series.
