So. Good. (As always)

I didn’t expect to finish this so quickly but boy does Slaughter know how to write a story.

The story itself is brilliant, but I almost didn't finish due to the graphic nature. I'm not one to shy away from books, but I can't say that I would recommend this at all. If it wasn't so graphic, it would be amazing. I don't even want to keep the book because it disgusts me. The writing style is great and I can tell that the author is a very skilled storyteller, but that had to have been done details that would have been better left out.

Found this book okay, for me the chapters were a bit long and did feel that it dragged in parts. I think if it’d have been shorter chapters it would have helped keep the tempo of the book.

I love Karin Slaughter so much. She's so dark and hilarious. Such a balance. And romantic. Ugh.
