Debra's Reviews > After That Night

*CRACK* That is the sound of Karin Slaughter hitting it out of the ballpark once again!!!!!

Will and Sara are back, and this time Sara has an unwelcome blast from her past when a young woman who had been brutalized was brought into the ER. Years later, Sara is testifying in court for the young women's parents and finds herself up against Mac and Britt McAllister, two people she went to school with. Later in a restroom, Britt McAllister says something to Sara that will rattle her to her bones and bring back her own brutal attack and rape (not that she has ever forgotten it).

Gripping and shocking from the very first page! The whole gang was back! Woohoo! I loved seeing Will and Sara again working together while in the midst of planning their wedding (I can't wait!). I love both of their characters and look forward to reading more books in this series!

Plus, the supporting characters had a nice amount of page time as well which I loved. I adore them all, especially Faith. Slaughter also has a nice number of characters in this book which had me booing and hissing. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know how things were going to turn out.

With all of her books, After That Night is well written, well thought out, perfectly paced and riveting. Karin Slaughter does not shy away from brutal scenes or discussions which make her books feel even more real to me. Slaughter not only shows readers the effect that rape has on victims but shows predators as well. Her books may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love them!

I have been reading her books for years and she continues to deliver time and time again! This book had a nice number of twists, turns and revelations in addition to the tension which snowballed as the book progressed.

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a fantastic job.

Well written, gripping, shocking, tense, and hard to put down!

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing - Audiobooks and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
