A prequel to Pretty Girls that introduces us to Julia Carrol a blond haired blued eyed college student who starts to investigate disappearances of other girls who resemble her.
Karin always blows my mind with her detail writing. It scares me sometimes at how her mind works. She can very well be the female Stephen King .
Being that this is a prequel it should be read before Pretty Girls, but be warned. If you already read Pretty Girls you may do what I did. I kept yelling at Julia (in book world of course) DONβT DO IT!!! YOU DONβT KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
It is a short read but never short on detail so I really do hope you enjoy it.
