A review by marigoldgem
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

*PLS CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS* The story was very predictable and the ending drags but it did keep me hooked throughout the story. If you are still getting into horror but already have a good understanding of what topics you can and can’t read then this is a book I would recommend. If you’re big into horror this book might be boring for you.
