What a fantastically written book! Not sure how this was my first read from Slaughter, but it surely will not be my last!
Karen draws you in right from the beginning and just does not stop packing the punches. She is a master at giving you bits of the story, character and relationship building and detailed storytelling, all while holding your interest. Every bit of the story has meaning, drawing you in and making you care about what has been happening with the characters.
Nearly all the characters are morally grey and I loved that about it. Usually you get one truly morally grey character, but there were multiple here, and not without good reason. Sometime good people do bad things and Slaughter does a wonderful job of showing us this. Between the relationship with Leigh and her sister, and the two antagonists, you get to understand how certain actions happen out of both love and hate at the same time. Sometimes to preserve yourself and your sanity, it takes an act of defiance.
The audiobook was wonderful. Kathleen Early did a fantastic job including you in what was happening, feeling what the characters felt and keeping you in a state of suspense.
