**I want to start by saying that this is a very dark,
disturbing novel. Parts were EXTREMELY difficult to read, so this is definitely
not for the faint-hearted.**
All of that aside, I devoured this book. Karin Slaughter
quickly jumped to the top of my “Favorite Authors” list after reading The Good
Daughter. I laughed out loud, cringed, cried (even full-on ugly cried at one
point), and felt like my heart was breaking while reading this one. This book
completely sucked me in, in the best way. The prologue alone had my heart
pounding so hard that I contemplated not continuing the novel.
Teenage sisters Charlie and Sam experience a life-changing
tragedy in their home that scars them literally and figuratively for the rest
of their lives. Flash forward almost 30 years later, and another horrific
event, once again, rattles their small town. This forces Sam to return to the
town she swore she’d never come back to, and Charlie finds herself right in the middle of the drama, in the ultimate wrong-place-wrong-time scenario. Secrets quickly come to the surface,
and the girls are forced to face the present situation, and their past,
head-on.
I seriously cannot praise this book enough. Like I said, it’s
extremely disturbing in some parts, but it was a fantastic read.
