Very slow start, this is the first book I ever almost stopped reading. Took until about 40% in to get good. Once it gets good it gets amazing and hard to put down. Happy I decided to keep reading on. Crazy twists. Trigger warnings for rape and murder, definitely very graphic into those areas.

i wish i could unlearn things i learned about in this book.
i don't want to say this was predictable because i truly didn't see the twists coming, but it's kind of obvious from the start that everything is connected. this was a little upsetting, but i still bulldozed through this book because i wanted to know all of the details.
this book is really messed up and comes with a whole list of trigger warnings. if i find a good list, i'll update y'all

I enjoyed this one. The pacing was good with the last quarter of the book really taking off. The dark and gruesome descriptions made me wonder what on earth goes on in the heads of some authors. I would definitely put another Karin Slaughter book on my tbr pile.

Okay, so…
This was HEAVY. Strongly encourage anyone planning on reading this book to read the trigger warnings first. The first chunk of the book was so so gripping. So many plotwists and moments that had me in AWE. Anyhow, it gets a little predictable afterwards and around 70% in I was so ready to just finish the book; felt a little longer than needed.
I loved the mother/daughter relationship in this book! It was very wholesome and I just loved reading their interactions. The ending was also wholesome in the sense of the characters finding closure on such a heavy matter. I also really enjoyed the way the letters by Sam were written, specially the last one.
