The Girl She Wanted

Definitely not a book you expect based on the title. It was definitely jaw-dropping that much is true. A couple of the twists really slap you across the face.

Life has been busy and I've not had time to do a lot of selective reading, so I downloaded The Girl She Wanted. I was fully engrossed in 15 minutes and found it hard to put down after that. The morning after I started reading, we left for a three-day mini vacation and I continued to read from the passenger seat as we drove. I was trying my best to not appear aggravated that my husband wanted to talk and visit on the way to the beach, though I know I was doing a crappy job, and I ultimately put my tablet down and tried to enjoy his company like I always do, but my mind was stuck on this novel! We met six of our friends for this trip, and when I found any down time, I had my tablet in my face again, slightly annoyed when people interrupted me.....I was being a horrible friend, but I blame K.L. Slater for that. She knew what she was doing when she wrote this! The morning we left I got up early so I could FINALLY finish my reading. I'd been interrupted so many times at what seemed like every page- turning engrossing part of the story that I was THRILLED to be able to finish it all interrupted and was left with my jaw dropped and proud of the heroine. My husband was so glad to have me back and now I wish I could remember everything that happened on the weekend away with our friends! We are headed home now, but I'll wait until I get home to download the next of her books...I at least owe that to my husband!

Well, it has its ups and downs but that's because it's a great story! Take a husband, a wife, put a sister in the middle to add some drama, add some animosity between the husband and sister... Then toss in the sister being accused of murdering two people and watch the fireworks explode!There's Social Services, a previous lost child for the couple, the current baby girl being hurt while in the sisters care, husband wanting sister to leave, wife wanting her to stay, husband believes she's guilty, wife believes she's innocent.Oh Boy! The drama just doesn't stop! And NO, those aren't even the spoilers! Believe me! There's much, much more in this hard to put down read!I highly recommend you grab a copy on the quick!!

I liked the flow of this book as well as the character development. The unusual choice of the ultimate heroine was superb!

In the first few pages suspicious characters show up already putting you at the edge of your seat. Our POV character Alexa is married with a toddler and her sister, fresh out of a nasty split, is staying at their home. The drama begins with her, at her job in the emergency room of the local hospital. Two patients have died unnecessarily and Alexa's sister is suspect number one which causes all kinds of drama. Her sister has some secrets (so does Alexa, it seems) and they begin to compound making her look all the more guilty, but as an avid reader of the mystery genre, I look for less obvious suspects--there are many. Her sister's co-workers, the doctor who blew the whistle, I can't help but add the ex because he sounds like a weasel who may have a grudge, Alexa's own husband is acting quite strange, and, of course, Alexa herself.The story teeters, from one suspect to the next, which kept me constantly at the edge of my seat. So many twists and turns. The ending, however, was a bit disappointing. After such a suspenseful ride, I expected more. I wanted a big bang, but I didn't get it.

We put our lives in the hands of the emergency staff and hospital staffs whenever it is necessary to go to any hospital. We feel certain our healing and best health issues will be taken care of. This story opens our eyes to the fact that some things you believe to be taken into consideration as to their training might be ignored and not taken care of. Be aware.

Loved loved loved this book from the beginning to the end she is a fantastic writer. She always has the most intriguing ending to all of her books. Onto another one

I liked the book I wouldn’t call it a thriller but more so just a mystery. I thought the story line could have been more suspenseful, but all in all it was a good book

Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Everyone will enjoy it as it is quick moving and interesting. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing!

Very good, thoroughly enjoyed it.

She is a excellent writer. I haven’t found one book of hers that I didn’t like.

Author never fails to deliver a great read.

So I agree that this book is well written, easy to read and you want to get to the end so keep reading. But honestly have I missed something? When the culprit had been arrested I was still waiting for the twist! I kept reading hoping that it would arrive any time but no. That was it!!!! Very disappointing ending for me.
