I think the hype of this book and Karin Slaughter in general was the downfall of this book. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't the unpredictable twisty thriller I was expecting. I couldn't really empathize with the main characters, because it was the predictable horror movie scenario of "don't go into the house, idiot!" There definitely was a lot of gore and very descriptive of the terrible things.

This was a good book and enjoyable read. I was interested and invested in the ending.
This book follows the perspective of Clair and Lydia sisters to the missing Julia. The book felt slow for a majority of it and not as exciting as I was hoping. I honestly feel like the ending was just too happy for such a "serious" and intense crimes being comitted. However, the book itself is well written and flows well even in the slow parts.

This book was really compelling and well-written but for me personally the graphic sexual violence was too much. Descriptions so detailed. In future I will stick with cozy mysteries!
