A review by amyrrobertson
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter

dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

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

1.5

Gratuitous violence. Somehow made me feel both heavily disturbed and grossed out as well as numb to the entire story and all of the characters save for the journal entries of the grieving father. Do not recommend.
