My first Karin Slaughter book and I really enjoyed it even though the topics are tough! I also guessed the two big twists a mile away, but still enjoyed the journey of confirming my suspicions

Definitely check the trigger warnings before you pick this one up. If it’s a trigger, it’s probably in here. 
That being said, I gave this book 4.25 stars, and it had my biggest triggers in it; SA, rape, and pedophiles. 
The witty back and forth between our 2 main characters was funny and helped me smile and giggle throughout this incredibly dark book. 
I loved how it covered feelings of grief, guilt, revenge, and love. 

I’m not great at writing reviews but this was a good one. 
I just wish we got more from Kelly and her story line. The ending felt rushed and most of the last chapter felt more like an epilogue.

The story was well written and a fun listen. I did dislike the reuse of scenes (to add on when remembering things) as it felt like lazy writing. Made me think I accidentally rewinded when I didn't.
