Review of The Girl Who Survived by Lisa Jackson

 I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

In an all-consuming novel of suspense from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, the survivor of a brutal family massacre must uncover the shocking truth about a fateful night that left her forever marked . . .


All her life, she's been the girl who survived. Orphaned at age seven after a horrific killing spree at her family's Oregon cabin, Kara McIntyre is still searching for some kind of normal. But now, twenty years later, the past has come thundering back. Her brother, Jonas, who was convicted of the murders has unexpectedly been released from prison. The press is in a frenzy again. And suddenly, Kara is receiving cryptic messages from her big sister, Marlie--who hasn't been seen or heard from since that deadly Christmas Eve when she hid little Kara in a closet with a haunting, life-saving command: Don't make a sound.
As people close to her start to die horrible deaths, Kara, who is slowly and surely unraveling, believes she is the killer's ultimate target.

Kara survived once. But will she survive again? How many times can she be the girl who survived? 

My Review:

5 Stars

I always anticipate a new release from Lisa Jackson. Never am I disappointed with anything that she has written. From her writing style to her stories...I just can't get enough. 

Being known for something can either be really good or it can be something that will haunt you for the rest of you life. Kara unfortunately did not get the good side of that coin. Being known as the one who survived is a constant reminder of the past. A reminder of what was lost. 

Once strange communications are received and those she loves start to die, Kara has to figure out who is targeting her and why. She also has to hope that she can survive one more time. 

A thrilling book that had me racing to see what would happen next. I would highly recommend this book and this author.
