This is so dark, and probably not a great time to be reading it. Hopefully it will be worth it…

Not my favorite by Karin Slaughter but it was definitely good! She has a way of making you invest in characters and the story. 😀⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finally getting around to reading the Good Daughter. I was in the mood for a Karin Slaughter and figured this was the best to go with. I‘m close to finishing all of her books. 😀
Wow. That was fantastic. Very dark tho. This is my first Karin Slaughter novel and won‘t be my last. She has a way with building characters and I enjoyed her prose.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I listened to this on audiobook over the course of a couple years, but I keep going back to it. It is truly an incredible story. Slaughter‘s plots captivate me and her characters feel very real, very human. She has a way with grizzly gore and delivers horrifying situations in such a way that I don‘t find them too over the top. I have a high tolerance for gore and blood though. Just another incredible book by this formidable author. #thriller
“What a rapist takes from a woman is her future. The person she is going to become, who she is supposed to be, is gone. In many ways, it's worse than murder, because he has killed that potential person, eradicated that potential life, yet she still lives and breathes, and has to figure out another way to thrive.”
Karin Slaughter, The Good Daughter
My second foray into audiobooks and WOW, what a ride!! What a messed up catastrophe of a story. A string of horrific events, so much sadness and trauma, but I couldn‘t stop listening. Slaughter once again weaves a complicated web of a mystery that you almost feel guilty for enjoying because the content is so horrifying.
I saw this on Onward Litsy so I thought we could play!!

My haul yesterday from Books-A-Million. I LOVE that store!!! 📚❤️
I would read this book again even though it‘s very dark & I have suffer with PTSD ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Baby likes to read too 😻📖🔖
Ok,so where do I start to say about this book ,the thing is I know that Karin slaughters pretty girls is one of her best novels but I couldn‘t get my hands on that so I bought this instead and I was pretty sure it‘s gonna go downhill but oh my god I was wrong. Karin slaughters writing is soo horrifyingly graphic in this novel , it was so disturbing and terrifying at the same time and for plot twist oh yeah and I loved their dad rusty at the end 😍
Loved it! 💚
It was dark, gritty and full of suspense. The sibling relationship felt real and it helped develop the main character, Charlie, so much. I love a book with strong female characters, who even though they are flawed, still kick ass.
28 years ago, Charlotte experienced enough trauma for one lifetime when she and her sister Sam were forced into the woods at gunpoint. After being shot and buried alive, Sam makes a miraculous recovery, and Charlotte goes on to become a renowned attorney.
Now, Charlotte is front and center as she witnesses a school shooting, and her sister Sam takes on the case to protect a potentially innocent accused teenage shooter.
This one was suspenseful!
Oh yeah I finished the big #buddyread for #teamslaughter #Scarathlon2020
It was a very thrilling and dark book. It's a #Slaughter book 😉 and I like it more than her first book (and #buddyread last year) 'triptychon'
With just over a day to go I finally finished the #TeamSlaughter Buddy Read book.
An excellent book, but quite a big read. Like all Karin Slaughter books gritty in places, and not always an easy read, but superbly written. Loved the court based section.
#Scarathlon2020
Wow, this book was rough! I couldn‘t do anything while listening because it was too dark. I balanced it out by doing a puzzle.
I probably wouldn‘t have read or finished this book if it wasn‘t the #buddyread for #TeamSlaughter
It was really dark and I didn‘t like how she retold the worst part multiple times but I understand why she did it

This was my first book by Karin Slaughter. I've never been interested in her books and read this one only for #Scarathlon2020 as the group read for #TeamSlaughter
Well, it was ok. But to much on the drama side for me. To me it felt like Slaughter just needed to add more drama and some more and some. Like me when I'm adding spices to my food, just that I don't like the drama.

This ones a stand alone about sisters marked by tragedy. 2,571pts
While I‘m committed to #TeamSlaughter I couldn‘t commit to Karin Slaughter. I rarely DNF a book, but just not my cup of tea. But hey, this year I‘ve been exploring genres outside my usual reading, including thrillers, fantasy, mysteries and horror. So have moved on to Kate Atkinson‘s One Good Turn for my next #Scarathlon read.
Will start this tonight for #teamslaughter #scarathlon. In the meantime, it wasn‘t a great reading week for me save Saturday where I listened to audios while processing Italian plums off my tree. Got 13 hours of reading in, mostly audio. Finished two books, participated in some readathons, for a total of 743 points. @Clwojick #readyourway #24B4Monday #CocoTurns50 @TheSpineView @CocoReads
Pretty much the same goals for this #Readathon as this weekend, since I didn‘t get any reading done.
I have 200 pages left of Six of Crows
An hour left of Wicked Autumn on audio
I have The Good Daughter on audio and print, so I‘m hoping to get some audiopuzzling done this week.
#Slaughterthon #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon2020
Finished #TeamSlaughter #Scarathon2020 #buddyread today. Wow! Put in 5.5 hours to finish it today, and my reading pal #LucyGray was happy for the extended snuggle time. @Clwojick #CocosTurning50 @CocoReads #24b4monday @TheSpineView
Just started one of my favorites, The Mothman Prophesies. #Scarathon2020 #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick
#buddyread for #scarathlon #teamslaughter. Great account of how violent crime can tear apart a family and an entire community. This is my first Karin Slaughter but it will definitely not be my last. Unique characters that you care about and an intricate plot that moves at a breakneck pace. Intense scenes of violence and passionate treatment of the characters. And look! She credited #TeamSlaughter in her acknowledgments. 😆
Started this today while my son is have his tonsils and adenoids removed. #waitingroomreading #TeamSlaughter #Scarathon2020 #CocosTurning50 #ReadYourWay @Clwojick @CocoReads @TheSpineView
#buddyread for #teamslaughter during #scarathlon2020. Some pretty intense scenes. Enjoying it very much so far.
Ohmygosh, this thing should come with a health warning! I‘m not sure I breathed the whole time. There was a part that had me full-on heave-sobbing. So freaking excellent; I can‘t believe it took me this long to read her!!!

My cuddly reading buddy for the next two days 🐶❤️ Work has been out-of-control busy and I asked my former husband if I could borrow his dog for some fur therapy. He brought her over this morning and she immediately found “her spot” on the couch 🥰
#Dimples #dogsoflitsy #furtherapy #readallday #cuddlesandbooks
Good morning Littens! A new day with the #buddyread of #teamslaughter and #Scarathlon2020
Happy birthday @CocoReads 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thx for hosting #readathon #cocoturns50 this weekend I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend and all wishes came truth.
The last 50 pages were quite a whirlwind. Overall, it was a bit long but Slaughter is an undeniably talented writer who can create vivid storytelling and dynamic characters.

Jumping into my buddy read for #TeamSlaughter!
Days off work are for readathons:

#scarathlon @Clwojick 🔪
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A great and gripping story, two sisters divided by tragedy are brought together when a shocking murder happens in their home town. Past and present combine, grievances are aired and old ghosts laid to rest. Thank you @Clwojick for this #Scarathlon2020 #TeamSlaughter #BuddyRead 50pts + 1pt
My first Karin Slaughter - what a ride! Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One is left behind…
Skip to 28 years later where another shocking event happens in the same locale...

Finished the second #TeamSlaughter #buddyread last night - but I was too tired to post a review when I got home at 8am 😴
I really enjoyed it, and since I was expecting the violence and other trigger warnings it didn‘t bother me as much as it would have if it came out of left field. I flew through it in just under 10 hours, so I‘ll be getting a ton of Readathon points once I figure out what readathons it qualifies for.
#scarathlon #screamathon
It‘s been a super busy midnight shift, but my headphones are in and I‘ve been FLYING through the #TeamSlaughter #buddyread. I have a few hours left, but so far it‘s SO good. Maybe my new favourite by Karin Slaughter. It‘s certainly better than last years #TeamSlaughter buddy read, which was Triptych.
It‘s very well written and I loved the first half; full of suspense and intrigue, 5 stars! But it sagged in the middle then more awful stuff happens with horrific detail. (Tragedy overload!) A good ending, some surprises but I guess I‘m more sensitive than I thought to some things. #buddyread #scarathon2020 #teamslaughter = 109 points
Here are some options I have for the #littenlisten and the #October20in4 readathons that are running this weekend. The #outstandingoctober Readathon also starts tomorrow! What a blast it‘s going to be! ☺️
I‘m working overnights, so that means I‘ll be able to get in a bunch of hours 🖤 #TeamSlaughter

So I just made a review of the good daughter but I can't find it. Grrr Litsy don't be weird. Just post it her I am too tired to try again I am going to bed.
TLDR: Great Book, Magnificent Suspense, Great Audiobook.
4.5 Stars
Just finished #TeamSlaughter Team read! My gods what a ride! From start to finish, the whole story is just full.of twists and turns and misleading moments. It was so well done
