Pretty Girls was a thrill from the start! So many ups, downs, and dramatic turns. It definitely deals with some morbid topics, so beware, but totally worth the read!

I've read over a dozen of Slaughter's books and I am a big fan. I'm not crazy about this one. It was deeply unpleasant, and the exhaustive detail of unspeakable acts is no fun to read. I also think it lacked the pace and drive of her other books.

If you're looking for a gripping thriller to shake you out of a reading rut, this is it. But be forewarned that it makes The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl seem like light reading by comparison.

This is a good read but you need a strong stomach. This is by far the most messed up book I've read in a long time.

Really great thriller. While Claire is the main character, she is not likeable but it goes with the story. The story was well written, lots of twists. When you think you know what is going to happen, it's the opposite. Worth the read!

4.5/5

I enjoyed the character development and the unraveling of the plot. I did not like the excessive internal monologues of the protagonists. I think the last 50-75 pages needed an editor's red pen. and the last chapter was absolutely unnecessary or misplaced.

A little darker than I was expecting but a good, fast paced read nonetheless.

Too much. Too disturbing. Taking too long.

Tense and taut and twisty. This book was perfect. Finished most of it in the course of a day because you just want it to keep going. I loved every minute of the ride. Well worth it.

I enjoyed the plot overall. However, this one dragged for me. I finished it because I wanted to know how everything would turn out, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise, this was just kind of...meh
