⚠️ CW: drug abuse, rape, infertility, stalking, suicide, misogyny, homophobia, domestic abuse, torture ⚠️ This book was such a dark and emotional rollercoaster but I couldn't stop reading it! Sara doesn't think about that night, about the attack and the man who did it, and the way it tore her world apart. She thought that night was over. Until a new victim appears and now a young woman's life depends on Sara uncovering exactly what happened after that night. This was my first Karin Slaughter read and it definitely won't be my last. As you can tell from the list of CW's this was a very dark and difficult read but it was written so impeccably. One minute I was crying and the next I felt like my heart stopped with the suspense and anticipation. The way Karin Slaughter so perfectly portrayed the life long impacts of rape/assault, especially psychologically, was done so well. I absolutely loved this book and the only reason I dropped it down a star is because the chapters are quite long and a few times I felt like I needed a break mid chapter after reading certain chapter's contents and I'm not a fan of putting a book down mid chapter. Overall, I think this book was incredible and I highly recommend it. It will easily be in my top 10 at the end of the year!

Another great one. Was relieved Lena and Angie were absent from this one. Very much appreciate the attention she brings to there ever present jeopardies of being a woman and balancing that with the dedication of a man like Will, so that I can remember there are good men in the world too. And Amanda I’d really really really growing on me, quickly becoming my favorite character in this series. Really looking forward to the next one whenever it comes out.
