Synopsis

"We gotta kill 'em. They know what we look like."

On a hot summer night in Houston, two teenage girls—bright, beautiful, success-bound friends—took a shortcut home from a friend's apartment to make their curfew. They never reached their homes. The next morning, the families of the two girls began a frantic search, organizing friends and neighbors and posting thousands of fliers across the sprawling city. But not until an anonymous 911 call four days later were the bodies of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena finally recovered. Their killers were soon rounded up—a brutal, unrepentant gang of teenage boys whose convictions should have put them behind bars for life. But in the halls of justice, nothing is ever a sure bet . . .

Goodreads review by Traci on July 26, 2017

I am not normally pro-death penalty, but as I listened to this audiobook, I found myself feeling that the boys in this story did not deserve to live. They were truly wastes of oxygen, with all of the crimes they committed and their lack of remorse. They seemed to be beyond rehabilitation and destine......more

Goodreads review by Dominique on November 24, 2020

Sad story and a horrible instance of the way group mentality can be a dangerous thing. I feel like the girls were simply secondary characters in this story. If that was the intention of the author to focus mainly on the perps, that's fine. But I feel like it was a bit dehumanizing.......more

It was a scary read, knowing that these happens to a lot of young girls online. And the fact that the rapists also happen to be young teenage boys... I wish they kinda showed more of the lives of the girls, their friends, since I felt like I knew more about how the boys grew up in prison and what ha......more
