Holy shit - I thought there was no way that it could get better than Pretty Girls.
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.
