Pretty Girls

chena shared a tip "Not for the faint of heart….I’ll be having nightmares from the victims in this book, mostly because this could happen and the overwhelming details. Although much of the book I was able to predict It got more intense throughout. The ending had me more almost in tears. Kidnapping, secrets, and the bond of family, this was a great read!"

cynthia_carvalho shared a tip "This was very suspenseful, felt like I was watching a horror movie. Very gruesome and violent. The ending did not shocked me though but overall I enjoyed it."

margie_hunter shared a tip "This story is compelling. I couldn't put it down until some of the depraved descriptions in the story forced me to stop reading. I didn't want to gwak at horror or torture but I needed to see the mystery through. I wouldn't recommend the book unprompted but it's an exciting page turner that is written in fun circles. This is exclusively for our horror/ thriller friends."

amanda_wilcox_6498 shared a tip "This book definitely was mind blowing. If you love mystery, thriller and suspense, book is for you. Tow sisters reunited after her husband's funeral, only to discover a dark secret her husband was hiding that is not only shocking but disturbing. Secret of the past start to unfold as they gett further into the turmoil"

paola_sotomayor shared a tip "Wow. I’m not done with it yet I’m currently on page 220 of the book and can I say how much I love the details the author puts in her writing. The twits and turns are GREEEEAAAT! Caught myself saying “oh my god” out loud a couple of time! So gooood! It’s very explicit so don’t recommend for young readers. Or anyone who would get offended easily (the deaths are pretty intense) love the sister story can’t wait to finish it"

paola_sotomayor shared a tip "I had to come back once I finished ready.. wow just wow. This author knows really how to captivate the audience with her details. I literally felt like I lived through this story. I love how incorporates the father … if you had troubles with your dad or may be close to him this book will have you in tears reading his point of view. Definitely recommend (again don’t recommend for young readers) the deaths are intense"

lauren_fowler_6427 shared a tip "Trigger warning: domestic violence, rape, murder. Such a good read. It was like it was straight out of a documentary. I felt sad, angry, nervous, and happy all at once."

kristi_4852 shared a tip "Probably one of my fave reads of 2022. I hate that I loved this book. TW upon TW as if it hasn’t been mentioned many times already. The librarian asked if I’d recommend when I returned it, and I was honestly torn. It’s sooo dark and heavy and I dunno if I’d want say my sister reading it, but I so badly wanted to talk to someone else who read it afterwards. I needed to vent about it and talk it through.. It’s a lot."

valerie_0928 shared a tip "This book was absolutely amazing it had me on my toes and I couldn’t put it down ! Hands down would read all over again so sooooo good !"

andrea_pascalau shared a tip "Dark. Real dark but so good! It’s pretty graphic on the torture aspect so be prepared going into it. Claire def annoyed me a little bit at the beginning but happy I finished it!"

latenightwalks shared a tip "4/5 i feel like this book was so stretched out, which ik is probably for realism and suspense but still, i had to force myself through chapters to finish this book 😭 decent ending and storyline though!"

sara_becker_1844 shared a tip "Excellent psychological thriller. Suspenseful, excellent character and story development, disturbing material (adding to the tension) and a satisfying conclusion. Slaughter’s characters were so well thought out you could easily relate to/see yourself in them. Listened on Audible and loved the narration."

rachel_reynolds_9714 shared a tip "Rate: 5/5!!! It was as if I was watching a documentary on the ID channel. It was difficult to put this book down and I loved that it was hard to predict"

sheley_watson shared a tip "It is very shocking and dark. And your imagination will definitely be able to bring this book to life in your mind. It's very long but one of my favorite books even after 2 yrs. I'm not one to talk about books I'm reading but this one I couldn't help but constantly bring up as I was reading it."

kaygills shared a tip "Love this book. Couldn’t stop reading. Can be graphic in some of the descriptions and some friends in my book club found those parts hard to cope with."

laury_walkey shared a tip "This book earns the name suspense thriller. I just loved how Claire went from being a kept rich wife to outsmarting the villain and re-learning how to think and do for herself."

taylor_carter_4844 shared a tip "This is one of the best books I have ever read. Gripping thriller, twist and turns every chapter. You will no be able put this book down!"

pippa_edwards shared a tip "Favorite book of Karin Slaughter’s and the first I read. Tons of twists and at times pretty graphic but I still was able to enjoy the book and couldn’t put it down. You just have to know what happens at the end, she gives you a total thrill ride for sure."

brenda_marion shared a tip "Great murder mystery, love, suspense, .....I don't care for the murder part, but I love the whodunit aspect. Keeps you guessing even when it starts revealing things. Lots if twists and turns."

jitterbun shared a tip "This is a hard read if you're triggered by SA or torture, but other than that it deals with grief and family issues really well. Check out my full review on insta https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrt80cPnLS/?utm_medium=copy_link"

zoe_maher shared a tip "Nice and twisty. Pretty emotional at parts. Freaked me out because I didn’t know it was based out if my college town where I currently live. If you go/went to UGA, a must read. Definitely needs a TW for rape and graphic violence though."

jenna_w_4804 shared a tip "Honestly the most amazing mystery/thriller I’ve read in awhile. Always on edge, thinking I had figured it out when another curveball is thrown into the mix. Stunning work"

donna_allen_9369 shared a tip "I don’t. There are just too many that I love. I have loved all of Karin Slaughters. And my new favorite author is Shari Lapena. I’ve read at least 3 by her and they are fantastic. I always think I have the ending figured out.. and I’m always wrong!"

JB_reads shared a tip "Really suspenseful and well-written, but the subject matter is pretty dark and disturbing! Not for the faint of heart, and definite trigger warning for sexual torture/abuse."

candi_traigle shared a tip "A friend suggested this book. The title seemed innocent enough. I had to close my eyes through parts of this book. Slept with a nightlight a few nights after reading this one."

anna_huerta shared a tip "Dark and very graphic. I normally shy away from horror because I’m squeamish, and I definitely got uncomfortable during some parts of this book; however, I couldn’t put this down. I gave this five stars. Just definitely beware of blood and guts and torture."

rachel_scott_2213 shared a tip "This book was seriously amazing. The writing was so good. I was hooked beginning to end and I read it in four days! You won’t regret reading it!"

katherine_bromme shared a tip "Another page turner by Karin Slaughter. My first was “The Good Daughter” which is still my favorite. Although, probably one of the most graphic books I’ve ever read, I couldn’t put this one down. If you’re sensitive to torture, it might be one to skip. If you’ve got a tough stomach, highly recommend."

leah_campbell_7549 shared a tip "Chilling and intense! Definitely pay attention to all trigger warnings before reading. I will admit, it was a slow start and I contemplated not reading it. I have read her Grant County and Will Trent series and this was my first time reading one of her standalone books. The first 3 chapters were slow but after that, I quite literally couldn't put it down. Full of twists! I finally finished at about 4:30am and had to be up for work in an hour haha. Definitely worth the read I promise!"
