Hello there internet.
Today i'm going back a couple of months to re-start all the reviews
that i've missed writing up while on my little internet break.
First book up is Kisscut by Karin Slaughter.
4/5
This book starts with a stand off between a teenage girl threatening to shoot a teenage boy, and the police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, where the young girl ends up dead.
The autopsy on the girl reveals years and years of horrific abuse (some of which was incredibly difficult to read about), and the people around her close up. No one wants to talk about what happened to this girl.
Then another young girl is abducted, and what they thought was a case of one girl being abused turns out to be something far, far worse than any of them could ever imagine.
The book is told from the perspectives of Jeffrey, his ex and the towns pediatrician/medical examiner Sara Linton, and detective Lena Adams. And each perspective is interesting to read from, and each brings something new to the story.
There are so many twists and turns in this book, and it was near impossible to put it down.
It seemed like every time we found out something new, it wasn't
exactly what they, or you, thought.
Seeing the way that Jeffrey, Sara, and Lena all interpret different aspects of the case was so fascinating to me. And seeing how they all dealt with the issues they each had going
on outside of the case was just as interesting as the case they were working.
I love the way Karin Slaughter writes, and i would quite happily marathon all of her books
after reading this one.
This book deals with a lot of heavy stuff.
Trigger warnings for rape, abuse, self harm, child abuse, and heavy violence.
