First of all, thank you Harper Collins and Netgalley for granting me an ARC for this book. I know this review is super late but nonetheless I wanted to leave a review.

Let’s welcome Will Trent and Sara Linton back to the scene!

On the night of Sara’s shift at a hospital, a woman named Dani Cooper was admitted to the hospital. Before she succumbed, to her injuries, Dani told Sara that she was raped. Dani’s incident reminds Sara of her own incident when she was raped many years ago in the same hospital. And as the police are investigating on Dani’s case. Sara, Will and Faith realize that there are other rape victims including Sara’s that are connected to each other and that there’s a cult involved in these cases…

As usual, Karin Slaughter’s books are captivating, unputdownable and…disturbing. Having read Will Trent’s books, I expected some gore in the book but there wasn’t much gore and I thought the story wasn’t that disturbing as her previous books. This was fast paced, there were some twists and turns, particularly the ending where the ending was completely unexpected that I simply couldn’t even believe the ending! Overall, this was a fast paced unputdownable thriller that will keep you up all night–worth five stars!
