Pieces of Her | 
pickGreat thriller! Tight, intense, so good! Can‘t say much more without giving anything away. If you like twisty-turny mysteries, give Karin Slaughter a try! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soKarin Slaughter is one of my favourite authors but this book was so disappointing. The main character was weak and hard to like, storyline very farfetched. The chapters were long (is it just me who can‘t put a book down until I‘ve finished the chapter I‘m on 😆) and unfortunately reading this one felt like a chore.
pickOverall I really enjoyed this book. The pacing, the writing and the plot were all good. My least favorite part of the story was Andy, one of the main characters. I get being indecisive but she took it to a whole different level. There were multiple times I wanted to reach through the pages and just shake some sense into her. Otherwise I felt like it was a solid story. It‘s only my 2nd Slaughter novel but I will definitely read more from her.

Hello Bookish Butterflies! 🦋🦋🦋
What are your bookish plans this weekend? I'm participating in another round of the #24in48 Hour #Readathon!
If you'd like to find out more about the readathon and what I'll be reading, check out my blog post here: https://absolutebookishness.wordpress.com/2019/07/19/24in48-hour-readathon-summe...
So far, I'm almost halfway through the tagged book. Fellow readathoners, how are you progressing?
so-soI liked the past better than the present. Though I thought it was mostly just okay I could t stop reading and had to know what happened next.
so-soI absolutly loved the concept of this story and there was so much going for the story line but this one just did not do it for me. I enjoyed it but I listen to it while bulling ovenights at work all week and I will be honest that I would find myself a bit bored at times and zone out. I may try this one again at a later date. I think I may have expected to much since she was finaly getting some screen time and just let myself down.
so-soUsing audiobooks as a way to keep knocking out my TBR has been helpful. I love Karin Slaughter but I‘ll admit that isn‘t just didn‘t do it for me. She is an amazing story teller but I felt like it fell a tad flat. I won‘t hold it against her though! 🤗💕
pickI wondered throughout the entire story how these POVs would connect. I never saw this end coming! This one is a little different than other K Slaughter stories I‘ve read. Less of the OMG!!! and nail-biting that usually slaps me in the face in the beginning but a ton of mystery between the alternating timelines to keep me turning the pages. Her stories are so tightly written. And she writes women so darn well. Ms Slaughter is a top top favorite🙌🏻
I‘m well-into this one and I still have so many unanswered questions!! I love Karin Slaughter‘s books so much. I‘m hoping to finish it up tonight during my kids‘ fencing practice 🙌🏻🤺
Thanks for sending the paperback my way, William Morrow!
pickI finished this during my flight to Montenegro and thoroughly enjoyed it. I do love a book told from different eras and this does exactly that - alternating chapters between 1986 and the present day. Slaughter writes a great suspense thriller and this doesn‘t disappoint. The twist and revelation at the end finished the book superbly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks to #NetGalley for allowing me to read this book for free.
pickI liked this book, so intense it keeps you turning the pages to get more, more and more
I love a good Karin Slaughter for some audiogardening! And audio dog walking...and cooking...and filing...
This one is less graphic than others I‘ve read, which is nice.
so-soI‘ve finally recovered enough from my Grant County series trauma to read Slaughter again. Sadly this one didn‘t really work for me. The present day MC was very 2 dimensional and the 2 narratives felt like 2 different books smashed together. Disappointing.
pickEvery time Slaughter doesn't write about Will Trent I'm afraid to read the book... Every time I end up reading and loving it.
Pieces of Her is way different than what I have come to expect of Karin Slaughter; but it still have her gripping page-turning style and nail-biting suspense.
This one is a bit less blood and gore than the usual, but it still kept me reading the whole day and way into the night.
pickI didn't want the story to end. I spent most of the book trying to piece it all together, completely engrossed with how this story was going to come together. This is a story of really evil and cruel wrongs but there's also triumph, hope and doing what is right centered around a badass strong woman. #teamnosleep for #piecesofher
Coming to NETFLIX 😳🥰🥰🥰
*GASP*
Wow. Just wow. I'm more than halfway through and this one might be the best Slaughter book I've ever read. Twists and turns that keep you guessing with characters that just suck you into their lives. Can't wait to finish this. #teamnosleep
Another satisfying read (audio) by Karin Slaughter. The narrator, Kathleen Early, does an excellent job, as always.
panWhat a tedious pile of pages. I was so looking forward to a Karin Slaughter but her style is not for me. ⭐️⭐️ for trying.
so-soThis one was not a winner for me. The last Slaughter book I read had me so engaged and just emotionally invested. This one ended up feeling like a chore. The plot felt heavy and I don‘t know that everything tied together in a strong way. There were forgettable characters that felt unnecessary and I wasn‘t a fan of either of the main characters. I will be reading more by her but this one was a miss for me.
First Edition signed copy of Karin Slaughter's Pieces of her. 😍😍😍 - the bookstore was nothing short of amazing. I shall return, soon.
pickI liked the plot overall. I thought the way the past and present were brought together worked really well and i was kept guessing at a couple of parts. However I absolutely HATED Andy. Her feeble, weak personality got really old 50 pages in and I felt that part was way overdone. But it didn't detract from the story. Its not my favorite book by Slaughter but still a good read! 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Karin Slaughter‘s new (to the UK market) thriller is available as an ARC from #Netgalley. My request is pending 🤞🏻
so-soMy least favorite book, from my favorite author. I was so excited to pick this up on release day. The story sucked me in straight away. Action from the start, mystery in the middle. Half way through however I started to get bored, which has never happened to me before in a Karin slaughter novel. I would still recommend reading. Just not at the top of your TBR pile, it can definitely wait. No wow moments.
pickThis was my first Karin Slaughter and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. At 16 hours, I needed the audiobook to grab me, and it definitely did. I‘ve read others say that this wasn‘t their favorite Slaughter book, and since I liked this so much, I‘m excited for more. What should I read/listen to next???
so-soThis book wasn't bad. The main story, which takes place in present day, was not as gripping or interesting to me as the storyline that takes place in the 80s. The timeline jumps back and forth, and I found myself a little disappointed anytime we would leave the past. I think my mind drifted a bit too until we went back. Overall, enjoyable, especially if you have an interest in cults or cult mentality.
“How could she still love someone who had tried to destroy her?”
pickClassic Karin Slaughter. In this standalone novel, she incorporates psychological studies with an acerbic wit. Plot is unique and moves at a steady pace. But the main characters frustrated me, sometimes to the point where I thought about quitting. A mother & daughter, at times strong, were just as often weak and whiny. I get Slaughter did it so she could point out the transformation, but damn if it didn‘t also piss me right off! 3/5 ⭐️ #crime
pickA tension filled roller coaster ride unveiling the dangerous secrets of a mother‘s past! 5 stars. https://www.bluestockingreviews.com/blog/pieces-of-her
so-soY‘all don‘t know how much it kills me to say this: but I was disappointed in this book. I love everything else I have read from Karin Slaughter and couldn‘t wait to sink my teeth into this book. In the end it just didn‘t wow me and take my breath away the way her others did. It wasn‘t a bad book by any means but it just didn‘t live up to her others.
2.5/5🌟
Not my favorite of Slaughter's books but this is so cool! An eight episode series on Netflix 👏🏽
pickLoved it! The imagery was so vivid that I kept having dreams about being in the book. I liked how it flipped between past and present too. Some things were a bit far fetched but overall great storyline.
pickPolar vortex+no work=guilt free marathon reading and a warm blanket, because what else is there to do when it‘s colder than Antarctica. 🥶 As always, Karin Slaughter did not disappoint. 💜💜💜 this book. My favorite of January!!!
so-soBook 5 read in 2019. This was hit or miss for me. Some really great parts but some really slow parts as well.
“Dear Reader—
Have you ever looked at the person you know best in the world, and wondered what really lies below the surface? Whether what you see is GENUINELY what you get? I‘ve always been fascinated by the secrets and lies that underpin our lives, and so that‘s the question Pieces of Her asks: Can you ever know anybody completely?
I hope you enjoy it!”
