Beyond Reach by Karin Slaughter

4.0

4.5 stars. This was a 5 star read until the last 1/4 of the book (and I already knew the big spoiler bc I read Will Trent first, so it’s not bc of that). The first 3/4 of the book was brilliant and you learn a ton of backstory about Lena. I’m still team-Lena, that girl has been through it! The book is super fast-paced, which I love, but it had so many characters that it got hard to keep track at the end. It was confusing how the two story lines merged, I got the big details, but couldn’t follow every tiny one. But I don’t think all of these tiny details and characters were necessary, so for me it detracted rather than enhanced. But, overall, this was a great book that kept me glued to every page from the moment I picked it up.
