Girl, Forgotten follows Andrea Oliver—one of our protagonists from the first book. She’s now a US Marshal and is tasked to protect a Judge who is receiving death threats and who also happens to be the mother of a teenager, Emily Vaughn, who was murdered in 1982. The killer was never caught. It’s up to Andrea to help solve the murder. Secrets, lies, betrayal—no one can be trusted.
I really enjoyed this book. It was nice to see what Andrea, Laura, Gordon and Mike were up to. I very much enjoyed all of these characters. I loved the dual timelines—getting to see the events that lead up to the murder of Emily Vaughn, those were definitely my favorite!! I’d really like to see this become season 2 of Pieces of Her on Netflix!! ✌🏼
Read if you enjoy:
✔️Pieces of Her (book or show)
✔️edge of your seat thrillers
✔️unreliable characters
✔️dual timelines
✔️multiple twists and turns
Thank you, partners @bibliolifestyle and @williammorrowbooks for sending me a finished copy of Girl, Forgotten. #gifted

In typical Slaughter fashion, this is a brutal high-octane murder thriller with strong female characters and a wild plot. It is at times incredibly difficult to read, but hard to put down. You’ll find yourself shouting at and cheering on different characters.
Slaughter is known for dark details and unflinching portrayals of the worst of humanity. This book has a lot of that. In my opinion, this story flirts with having a bit too much. I recommend extreme caution to anyone sensitive to rape and sexual assault. (There are further trigger warnings
That said, I really enjoyed the direction she took Andy’s character in. You can tell there’s a lot of growth from the previous book and she is really starting to settle into herself. I also adored her partner on the Marshall’s force. He brought some much needed humor to the story. The villains in this story are also very evil. There is no doubt about who you’re supposed to root for in this one.
All in all, if you like dark reads and are not easily triggered, you may enjoy this one. It is well written and engaging, but not for the faint of heart.

In particular, there is a scene where a rape victim is re-victimized by a horrific doctor. I wanted to provide extra warning for it.
