So dark. Check trigger warnings. There’s some really graphic nightmare causing stuff in here.

This book was too dark with the sexual assault parts. But it was a very well done thriller book. Very well written.

I felt that the pacing was slow at times, but it ended up picking up. The story can be very graphic at times so reader be aware. Overall, pretty good read.

Really only taking away a star due to a the sometimes graphic SA/gore which was difficult to read. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book! There were moments that made me gasp out loud and I was on the edge of my seat.

Pretty Girls is an intense whirlwind of a ride. This is one of the few audiobooks to grab my attention at the very beginning and hold it all the way through. I couldn’t put it down. There were moments that had me at the edge of my seat and others that had me sobbing. My one criticism is just the intensity of some of the material. This is not for the faint of heart.
