Welcome to Litsy!

Karin Slaughter is damn good at thrillers. What a (crazy, twisty, graphic.....did I say crazy?) ride.

definite page turner. this book got me through a shitty weekend and made me stay up so late i called in to work today 🤫 no regrets! highly recommend! #bingeread

I really loved the last slaughter book I read so I have this one on audiobook to listen to while I work on my Halloween costume.

Warning-this book is EXTREMELY graphic when it comes to rape, torture, and murder. But if your stomach can handle it then I highly recommend the book. The author did a fantastic job with the way the story unfolds, layer after layer. It took me 2-3 hours before I became hooked to the story, but once I was it was hard to stop.

Pretty Girls is a true edge of your seat thriller!!

Claire and Lydia‘s sister, Julia, went missing twenty years ago. Now, another girl has vanished, and one can‘t help but wonder if these missing pretty girls are connected in some way.

After I reached the halfway point, I just could not put this one down! A solid plot with strong characters. Page turner!!

Fair warning that several scenes are graphic and unsettling.

My current read...

I‘m more than halfway through, and oh my, are some of these scenes and descriptions intense! Actually taking a break because it is an edge-of-your-seat book for sure!

Fairly sure I have predicted how this one will end but definitely looking forward to the final chapters. Really enjoying this one!

I've heard Karin's books are amazing, so I borrowed this from a friend. It was ok. There were some really graphic scenes that I wasn't a fan of. One of the main characters was described as "really clever," but that was clearly not the case. At all. I'm curious to read more of her books though. I give it like a 3/5 #thrillers

OMG!!! I'm definitely going to need a light read after this, but it's soooo good! If you like B.A. Paris, definitely read this!

I mixed my days up! I posted today's prompt yesterday... so here is yesterday's prompt. What can I say... super busy... 🤷‍♀️

If you have a weak stomach I do not recommend. This book is so graphic! It is also amazing, exciting, emotional and impossible to put down!

My July reads! 🙌🏼 Pretty Girls was my favorite!

This is truly a gripping story, however, not for the faint of heart. This book is filled with the stuff nightmares are made of!

Stumbled across the book Pretty Girls by Karin slaughter and glad I did. It was a great read! I couldn't believe everything that was happening. There were twists and turns and I couldn't believe everything that was happening.

Wow! This book was really tremendous! It is graphic and there are parts that may be too much for some readers, but if you enjoy Slaughter's writing, this may be her best. As a psychological thriller, it kept me invested, but was unique about this story was that she wove beautiful descriptions of family and love and loss throughout. Definitely recommend!

Looking for a good horror? This book had me on the edge of my seat all day! It has several sad parts in it, but all in all it was a fantastic read.

The character's are well developed and mostly likable. The narrator changes from one person to the next and back, which I think gives the story depth. I truly enjoyed this journey, albeit a little creeped out.

I would recommend this book for anyone wanting a good thriller.

📚📚 Happy Reading! 📚📚

I think I may read this one next.

“You couldn't turn on the TV without hearing about the missing teenage girl. Sixteen years old. White. Middle class. Very pretty. No one ever seemed quite as outraged when an ugly woman went missing.”

I‘m so tired of listening to this book. Why is it so long? 😩

My first Karin Slaughter novel. Sometimes you are just in the mood for something stabby!

I came home from vacation to some wonderful #litsylove #birthday mail, including a copy of the tagged book from @Kaila-ann and a mini letter set from @nelehelen 😍 Thank you for the early #birthdaylove, everyone! I will do my best to get replies out the door in the next two weeks. I know I still owe a bunch of replies. 😔

Great book. Know going into it that it's shockingly graphic!

Twisted. Thriller. Loved this story. Family, marriage and betrayal. Definitely don‘t read if you don‘t like true crime and/or triggered by sexual violence.

Who says rolling carts for books are only for libraries? ☺️💕

I reached for this one pretty quickly after blowing through The Good Daughter, but this one didn‘t grab me as much. I didn‘t really like Claire or Lydia, and honestly had a hard time suspending my disbelief in some parts. still, Slaughter is great at her genre!

If you can get past the graphic content in this book it‘s a great story! Kept me wanting to read more!

Alot of people have said this book was exciting, tremendous, and super great book.
I like Karin Slaughter, don't get me wrong, but this book just didn't get my interest at all

Best book I have ever read. Bar none. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is not my favourite genre, too hit-and-miss for me. But this book was great, it had me hooked from go.

Just finished this audiobook and holy cow! It was dark and twisty and heartbreaking and triumphant. Probably not a book for the faint of heart but if you‘re ok with dark and twisty then this is probably up your alley. Finished while registering some of the books I picked up while out and about today. #bookcrossing #hoopla #audiobook

So excited to start reading this!! And I found it at my local used bookstore!

This book was intense in many ways and has pretty much all the trigger warnings. It is quite graphic at times. Basically it is about missing girls and a pair of sisters that lost their other sister many years ago and how it all connects to the present. Well woven story.

1. If they like thriller/murder then Karin Slaughter is always a recommendation.

🎾Tale about downward spiral on a fam when a teen girl goes missing.
🎾Dark, intense, & evocative.
🎾Morbidly suspenseful.
🎾Strong themes of trauma associated w/loss focusing on drug use, abuse, obsession, & denial.
🎾Last 1/3 - 1/4 dragged on more than needed.
🎾Extremely psychological.
🎾Reads fast while being very detailed.
🎾Excellent character exams.
🎾TW: graphic sequences & references to rape. Graphic scenes of violence & torture. Suicide.

Rainy day psychological thriller! It‘s basically centred on the disappearance of a teenage girl and the various people it affects. Keeping it vague because I didn‘t wanna know much going into it. I‘m loving it so far. Very good, flowy writing with brilliantly brewing tension & suspense.

"The thought of hearing his windpipe crack was the only thing that kept her going."

Honestly loving this book!

Oh my, this messed me up man. I didn't know what to expect going in but I heard "dark thriller" and I see lots of Litsy people reading her books, so I went for it. I liked it but need a break from dark for a few books. ?
It was like an episode of Criminal Minds. That's how I described it too my mom. It's her favorite show but it gives me the creeping horrors. It's weird I can read graphic, sexual violence but can't watch it on tv or movies.

Easily that most brutal book I've ever read. So good though!

There were 24 books with girl in the title in my kindle - these are just some of them. I‘ve read 10 of these!!

I finished this one for the psychological thriller prompt for #aroundtheyearin52books. I like Karin Slaughter's books and this was also enjoyable. Some find it too graphic but it wasn't an issue for me. The psychological part was lacking a bit in my opinion but it's a good thriller.

#BookMail Pt2 I love Karin Slaughter so much! I‘ve met her at a talk she did at Camden library in SW Sydney in 2014, she signed 2 of my books as well, Cop Town, her new book at the time & Beyond Reach, the sixth Grant County book which has THAT plot twist which had me in floods of tears. I have read Pretty Girls already and loved it too, it‘s a stand alone about two sisters who‘ve struggled since the disappearance of their little sister years ago.

Great #firstsentence in a psychological thriller. I'm hooked and looking forward to read this 📖 this weekend!

4.5/5 🌟

Wow. I can't believe I only found this book now, where have I been?? It's over 500 pages & I finished it in 2 days. What a dark, gripping page-turner! I loved reading from the dad's perspective - so beautiful & heartbreaking!

Hard to read with this little ones snoot in my face. 🤗🧡😂 #oliveoil #muchlove #2019
