2.0

 Let me start off by saying my 2 star rating has nothing to do with the auther, Karin Slaughter. The book itself is wonderfully written, I felt the characters were flushed out so the reader could connect to each one, the plot and storyline was solid. But, this is where my rating comes in, this book just was not for me. It is very dark, gory, graphic, and it was just too much for me. Normally, I would have abandoned a book like this, but I did not think it would get that bad. if you like these type of books then you will love this author. I was so traumatized by the end, I could not even finish the last couple of chapters.

Here are the triggers:
Very detailed descriptions of torture and rape throughout the book. The religious background makes it that much worse. I felt extremely uncomfortable. I will not be moving forward with her books because I have been told all her books are like this and it is just too much for me.

If you like these type of books, then this is a great author for you.
