I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series! Her writing just absolutely sucks you in despite the disturbing scenes throughout. What a great story combo of romance, thriller, mystery and horror. Really enjoyed it!

I’m rounding up a star for the narration! I like her current narrator but this one put me inside the book! This is not my first Karin  Slaughter book and I figured I should read the books in order now. This book is extremely graphic and I definitely felt uncomfortable listening to the details but overall it was a quick thriller. I guessed the ending but that’s not a deal breaker for me in the slightest.

I think this was her first published book. It was good, but the other ones I’ve read by her were so much better. Still, it’s good getting to know Will Trent’s doctor friend.

Not bad, definitely dark and graphic. Guessed correctly who the perpetrator was. Lena sucks and Jeff and Sara are complicated. Might continue with the series but also not rushing to finish it.

As someone who usually reads slower paced books that describe every little detail, i loved how fast this book was. I want to continue reading more books but with the books i usually read can be too time consuming. This book however dives straight into the story and i just about had time buckle in for the ride. What I mainly loved was that despite being fast paced, it does not lack in detail and setting up the story. Can't wait to read more from Karin.
