You guys, when I read reviews saying that this book was really graphic, I didn’t take them seriously! I was like, “how bad can it really be?” But boy was I wrong…. IT IS DARK! Like the descriptions of certain scenes, I just had to put the book down.😦

“𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩.”

Without spoiling anything, I found the concept of intertwining the dark web to be quite interesting! It was fast-paced and told in multiple POV. This was my first Karin Slaughter book and it did not disappoint! I also love that it’s set in Georgia, which is where I’m from, so that was also a plus! I can already see myself reading the Grant County and Will Trent series in the future!
