I'm very torn on how I feel about one. The pedophile scenes and the graphic descriptions of rape & murder were alot. I almost threw the book after chapter 1. But on the other hand there was a twist I didn't see coming and I really wanted to see how the story ended.

Karin Slaughter is the darkest author I have ever read. Like Pretty Girls, False Witness did not disappoint. Be sure to read trigger warnings for any of her books.

CALLIE NOOO
i had a gut feeling that she wouldn’t make it but

honestly the ending broke my heart in all the right and horrible twisted ways.
leigh and callie are just so outstandingly written and so real, it honestly smacks you in the face.
this was a tragic, devastating and depraved story that i just could not stop reading. 
i’m on my way to buy all of her books because this was EVERYTHING
