Last Breath by Karin SlaughterMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
The fantastic prequel to The Good Daughter, the stunning new standalone from the No. 1 bestselling author of the Will Trent and Grant County series.
Protecting someone always comes at a cost.
At the age of thirteen, Charlie Quinn’s childhood came to an abrupt and devastating end. Two men, with a grudge against her lawyer father, broke into her home – and after that shocking night, Charlie's world was never the same.
Now a lawyer herself, Charlie has made it her mission to defend those with no one else to turn to. So when Flora Faulkner, a motherless teen, begs for help, Charlie is reminded of her own past, and is powerless to say no.
But honour-student Flora is in far deeper trouble than Charlie could ever have anticipated. Soon she must ask herself: How far should she go to protect her client? And can she truly believe everything she is being told?

My Thoughts:
This book was ok but I really wish I had read it before The Good Daughter. The Good Daughter was so much better and so suspenseful that this one was a bit of a letdown.Flora
Wow, talk about a spoiled child. She obviously has some issues that were never addressed by her guardians.
Charlie
Charlie has a good heart but is a bit too trusting. Her childhood seems to have left her a bit more vulnerable to some of the other characters in the book.
Overall
Overall, it was an ok book. It wasn't very suspenseful but it did give readers more insight into Charlie and her life. Honestly, I am not sure that this prequel was needed. The Good Daughter was so great on its own and this book really doesn't add all that much to it.
