    This is my first Karin Slaughter and I enjoyed it! While some of the events were predictable, it’s exactly what I wanted because that man had to die! There were moments where I definitely felt I was on the edge of my seat, and others when I was ready for the chapter to end. The characters were a mixed bag between, bad, worse and recovering bad, but no one is as terrible as the villain(s) in this book! And it’s definitely a lot of suspense along the way, because you do not know who to trust along the way! If you’re on the fence about this book, I say give it a go! It was pretty good!

    I wanted to like this book so bad but I couldn’t. It dragged on so much that when the plot twists finally hit it fell short. I almost didn’t finish but was hoping it was something that would make it worthwhile but I was disappointed.
  • Perfect beach read!

    I purchased this book since it was less than $5.99 on the app and I’ve seen it recommended on TikTok.The book just didn’t capture my attention enough.

    This book is not for the faint of heart. It starts off with the reader clutching their pearls and that feeling doesn’t stop until the end. It’s a true page turner. I loved every minute of this thrilling story. Also, I’m so glad I have a normal, boring life.

    A lot of the characters thoughts, feelings and actions were continually expressed. I felt it was unnecessary. And therefore made the book drag on…I didn’t finish it. Highly disappointed. Predictable ending…I scrolled to the end and partially read last couple chapters.

    Sick. Mean. Mind-blowing. Just plain ol’ scary. Even dreamed about it & had to get up & finish.
  • Not as exciting as expected

    Not a bad read, but nothing too exciting either. The ending was rather predictable and the antagonist is exactly who you think it is. Average read.
