I figured it out about half way through. Almost didn’t finish the book because of the sexual abuse but definitely an interesting read

dark emotional hopeful informative sad tense fast-paced

The main character in this is Andrea Oliver is trying to move past her complicated past and has just become a U.S. Marshal. She is assigned to help protect a judge who is being threatened, but she is also investigating the death of a teenage girl that occurred over thirty years ago. The case could have a tie to her past giving Andrea an even bigger incentive to succeed in finding the truth. This is a sequel to Slaughter's Pieces of Her, but the book stands on its own even if you're not familiar with the original book.

The book switches between the current timeline and the one from 1982 in the weeks leading up to Emily Vaughn's death. There is so much bullying and gaslighting going on in the past events, that parts of the book were difficult to read. However, overall I loved this suspenseful, dramatic book. Andrea becomes someone to root for and I love the way the story wraps up.

This was fine. I literally remembered next to nothing about the first book, which I don’t think you really need to. The mystery of this was honestly whatever, I didn’t love the dual timeline. The characters were ok, like they were funny at times, but I’ll never remember any of this. My favorite part was the romance which was like two scenes lol. Idk if you liked the first you’ll probably like this, but this isn’t anything special. This author has better books in my opinion.
