In typical Slaughter fashion, this is a brutal high-octane murder thriller with strong female characters and a wild plot. It is at times incredibly difficult to read, but hard to put down. You’ll find yourself shouting at and cheering on different characters.
Slaughter is known for dark details and unflinching portrayals of the worst of humanity. This book has a lot of that. In my opinion, this story flirts with having a bit too much. I recommend extreme caution to anyone sensitive to rape and sexual assault. (There are further trigger warnings
That said, I really enjoyed the direction she took Andy’s character in. You can tell there’s a lot of growth from the previous book and she is really starting to settle into herself. I also adored her partner on the Marshall’s force. He brought some much needed humor to the story. The villains in this story are also very evil. There is no doubt about who you’re supposed to root for in this one.
All in all, if you like dark reads and are not easily triggered, you may enjoy this one. It is well written and engaging, but not for the faint of heart.

Andrea was lacking in character. When the book started, I had high hopes for her because she is actively doing better than her best to be the top of her male dominated class. She was confident and came across as a badass. Then she got her first case and all that confidence was left in the first few pages. She fumbled, mumbled, and was tongue-tied so often that it took all my patience to get through those passages. I really do wish she were a badass throughout the book. She did have some daring parts in the book
The subject matter at the centre of the book was also a huge trigger for me constantly, especially the treatment of the victim, because that is what she was, by everyone around her was absolutely appalling.
I was going to put 3 stars, but then I got to the millennials drinking latte line and I just absolutely had it. That one line showed me that I am the wrong demographic for the author's novels.
