The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes
4.0

Whoa. This was a crazy suspenseful, mind blowing read. I also thoroughly enjoyed the fact that it's centered around Chicago and the historical fiction aspect of the book. It reminded me of another beautiful ode to Chicago novel: The Time Travelers Wife, but with a serial killer instead of a man in love. A bit on the gory side, so I've gotta go and read something really fluffy now...
