Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes

Prequel to Pretty Girls - odd little novella, not my favorite from her 

Paige Paul

I haven’t read anything by Slaughter yet and my friend told me to test out this short story to get a feel of her. While I could tell where this story was headed I do enjoy the building blocks of suspense/thriller. I definitely feel like I need a follow up now.

First book of the #contemporaryathon down!

I enjoyed this short story and I kinda loved the ending of it too. The part I'm not super in love with is now I feel the need to read Pretty Girls and I've heard it's a very disturbing book so I'm not sure how I feel about that part of it. 

Oh well. As for this book, I liked the writing style. It felt suspenseful and creative. It had sort of a mood to it that just lent itself to the spooky overall feel of the book.

I enjoyed the main character, though she was pretty much the only character we spent more than a few pages with. 

Overall it was a quick, interesting read. I'll definitely pick up more of Slaughter's books when I'm in the mood for something twisty.

A beautiful young girl was walking down the street―when suddenly… Julia Carroll knows that too many stories start that way. Beautiful, intelligent, a nineteen-year-old college freshman, she should be carefree. But instead she is frightened. Because girls are disappearing. A fellow student, Beatrice Oliver, is missing. A homeless woman called Mona-No-Name is missing. Both taken off the street. Both gone without a trace. Julia is determined to find out the reasons behind their disappearances. And she doesn't want to be next… Michael Connelly calls Karin Slaughter "unrivaled among thriller writers." This gripping, unforgettable short story proves why. And be sure to order Karin's new novel, Pretty Girls, on sale September 29, 2015.
