MY REVIEW
If You Tell by Gregg Olsen is an indepth look at a sadistic killer who had the ability to lure her victims in like a snake charmer as she plies her torturous ways on the innocent in the true crime novel that is written like a psychological thriller, making it hard to stop reading before the last page is read, but shows her four daughters ability to hold on to love and hope.
I won a hardcover of If You Tell by Gregg Olsen and I would like to thank Freda, Gregg Olsen and Thomas & Mercer.
GOODREADS BLURB
An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen’s shocking and empowering true-crime story of three sisters determined to survive their mother’s house of horrors.
After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now.
For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined. Even as others were drawn into their mother’s dark and perverse web, the sisters found the strength and courage to escape an escalating nightmare that culminated in multiple murders.
Harrowing and heartrending, If You Tell is a survivor’s story of absolute evil—and the freedom and justice that Nikki, Sami, and Tori risked their lives to fight for. Sisters forever, victims no more, they found a light in the darkness that made them the resilient women they are today—loving, loved, and moving on.

My sister read this book and thought it was really good. I’m a little too chicken to read it! Maybe some day.
it is intense, but i watch so much ID tv, forensic files and devour books about the evil people do to others, that i have this desire to delve into their minds and ask the question even they don’t always know the answer to….WHY
I read this last month or so and have very mixed feelings on it. I am hoping to get the review up soon.
i look forward to seeing what you think. thanks so much for dropping in sarah!
It is near the top of the list for reviews to knock out this week! Have you got your TBR post done? I checked but did not see it, unless I missed it which is highly possible with a six year old going on her third week at home… 🙂
