2.0

The story was so slow in the first 2/3 of the book that I almost dnf'd it several times. But there was so much hype about it on BookTok, that I felt like I had to stick it out to figure out what all the fuss was about. 

The pace picked up for the last 1/3, but I just felt like the "twists" were super predictable. 

I cared more about the story of the Carrol family way more than the mystery pieces at play.

This us only my second Karin Slaughter book. I liked Girl, Forgotten way more.

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

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.
