There was a lot about this book that made me stop and put it down at times. It was a lot. There is something about Slaughter's writing style that pulled me back in.

Took longer than I thought it would to read this, but there was a lot to get through. Definitely could be a standalone movie someday. Surprised the series was sold to ABC. Would’ve seen this more like suitable for Prime. Also thought it was a bit ironic that a book about White supremacy was largely full of White characters. Would’ve thought this subject matter would’ve included a more diverse cast.

It has been a while since I dipped back into a book in the Will Trent series and despite that it felt very easy to get back into it with the familiar characters. This story starts out one way.... and I wasnt very sure where it was going, kept trying to link it to the title of the book... then that sort of makes sense towards the end, where the book is entirely not what I expected. She says this story only lasts over a few days well boy, it felt way longer than that with the amount of information our team figures out ! 
It was a unique and sad story with a lot of moving pieces and characters. Lots of trigger warnings as usual for a Ms Slaughter book.
