Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter (38)

Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.

More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia’s teenaged sister Julia vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the horror and heartbreak of their shared loss—a devastating wound that's cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.

The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man, almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth, unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago . . . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where they least expect it.

REVIEW:
Should definitely be book of the year!
This intensely gripping novel is one thriller I won't soon forget. Seriously on the nights that I have to spend alone, this book will come creeping its way back into my thoughts. So vivid it could actually happen. That's a chilling thought.
Lydia is a bad-ass chick and I really connected with her, though Claire, her sister, is the protagonist. The story also flips to the fathers' perspective, and it is needed in the story for you to gain the real focus and feel of it all.
I plan on telling everyone about this book, starting with you all, of course. It is one of the best thrillers I have read ever, and I have read a lot. I flew through this almost 600 page story too, so you know it's wicked good.
Get a copy, and get it read today. You won't regret it.

5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
