Full review:Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a Grade-A, Karin Slaughter junkie. I can’t get enough of her stuff; it’s like crack for nerds who like all the dark things in their reading repertoire. I began devouring her books right around my 18th birthday and have continued to do so for almost 10 years. She’s the only living author that I have continued to read for such an extended period of time; I tell you all this so that you are aware just how good these books truly are. I’m going to k...
If you ever find yourself in need of a good criminal defense lawyer, Rusty Quinn is the man. He is notorious for the acquittals his clients have received. Legendary for his beliefs that all people deserve the best legal defense possible, no matter what their station in life or the crime they've been accused of. With Rusty on your side you'll be singing his praises as well. "Sunshine is for everyone, Sunshine come back againCome all without, Come all withinYou ain't seen nothin like the Mighty Qu...
I have officially drank the Karin Slaughter kool-aid. It's not that I had an aversion to reading a book by Karin Slaughter, it's just that I kind of kept putting it off. Boy, what a mistake! This book was OUTSTANDING. It was chilling, explosive, and shocking. Those are just three words that I could use to describe this book. It was also so much more. In all honesty, I don't feel there is much more that I can add to the overwhelming amount of positive reviews that already exist for this novel, bu...
2.5 I am giving this three stars because I kept reading, and did want to find out what happened. This was, however, much more graphic than I am comfortable with, and I resented the fact that it was repeated three different times in the book. While I know it was told from different viewpoints, and more details were uncovered in each telling, I thought it could have been done differently. Felt manipulated in the repetition of this horrific telling,as if it was used only for shock value. An additio...
”I love you, I know that you love me, but every time we see each other, we see what happened, and neither one of us will ever move forward if we are always looking back.”I finished this book ages ago but never really managed to write a review about it. *sighs* I guess sometimes life just happens and you have your hands full! *lol* Well anyway, I still decided to write a short review because even though I finished this book a while ago, I’m still thinking about it and I don’t know about you, but
You said it, George Takei! I seriously cannot get over this book.Over the last few months I've seen a number of friends on Goodreads waxing poetic about Karin Slaughter. I like a good crime novel/thriller, so I figured I'd need to check her out at some point. Then I heard about her newest book, The Good Daughter, so I thought, "Let's give this the old look-see, shall we?"DAMN, Karin Slaughter. You knocked my freaking head off with this one.It was a fairly typical night for teenage sisters Charl
This is the second thriller I've read lately that opens with a shitstorm of drama. In the best kind of way, of course. But The Good Daughter is, in some ways, much darker than Stillhouse Lake, and in other ways slower and more character-driven. It's not a bad thing. Slaughter more closely resembles my beloved Tana French in style, making her books more about the detectives or, in this case, lawyers than about the actual crime/mystery. It's a clever technique that always ensures I'm invested, whe...
My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr...4.5 Stars!!!!After reading the description and the prequel for this novel, I knew I had to read it soon. This book was INTENSE! It honestly had me feeling ALL THE FEELS. I really did both laugh and cry while reading this novel. "The Good Daughter" had me in its clutches from page one until the very end, and I'm still feeling the after-effects. The book opens in 1989. Samantha Quinn is fifteen years-old and her younger sister...
*4.5 stars*All hail the queen of crime fiction—Karin Slaughter has done it again. This clever author has penned another compelling and tantalizingly twisted thriller in her signature no-holds-barred approach. Not that I doubted her brilliance for even a second; there’s a reason she’s been one of my very favorites since stepping foot in Grant County more than a decade ago. As readers we all find ourselves hanging on to an author’s every word for different reasons. For me, Karin Slaughter has alwa...
This is not a series! I just found this out today. Also you do not need to read Last Breath which is a novella. I think this was listed as a series just to get you to buy the novella.I think this was a cheap shot. Also very disappointed because I loved this book and was so looking forward to this being a series.This is a stand alone. Did anyone else think this was a series or is it just me?I just loved this book. I love Karin Slaughter and she has one hell of a good imagination. I just don't kno...
i read 13 thrillers in 13 days here's what happened
Read this without realizing it was the same author as "Pretty Girls" and thought they were equally dark... well that explains it!Explicit sexual violence which was a bit too much for me but still an interesting character-driven mystery.Not my fav. Not sure if I should read more from this author.P.S. DO NOT GET THE AUDIOBOOK. The whispering then screaming was so annoying especially since I often listen to audiobooks in the shower... it was not fun.
