I've been SLAUGHTERED!

This book was so good I stayed up nights reading it. First thing in the morning while the dogs whined for their morning walk I'd have to finish just one more chapter.
And then the ending.....OMG! I sprang up out of bed at 2 a.m. shouting "NOOooooOOoooo!"

Have you ever read a book and get to one line that stands out as amazing. Like you have the wow, I wish I wrote that feeling.
There were many great lines in this book but my favorite was:

It had rained all night, a hard, heavy rain that tapped on their window like a witch trying to get in.

Love Karen Slaughter! Find her here.

You know, I've been wanting to try Karin Slaughter for quite awhile now. Looks like I need to make it sooner than later!

Oh, and great line!

It was a good book but the ending will shock you. As a writer I so wanted to call Karin up and question her about it. I don't want to give it away...read the book.
I first found out about her when Jessica from Bookends made a comment on how she'd love to have a writer like that under her. So of course I had to read her books!

Definately an amazing writer. She puts so many twists in the book I find myself going back to reread parts. She makes you believe one thing and then ZAP! pulls the rug out from under your feet.
Gotta love it.

 Where did the month go?  Certainly not on the page. I have an outline, some character sketches but mostly I have a lot of research notes.  ...
