Alexa has always looked up to her older sister Carrie. Carrie lives in Alexa’s family home, and adores her one-year-old niece Florence. Alexa doesn’t know how they would cope without her. So when Carrie is suspended from her job as a senior nurse, accused of the most terrible crime, Alexa reels in disbelief. Alexa knows how caring Carrie is, and as she watches Florence gurgling and cooing whenever Carrie is around, she knows her little girl is in safe hands.
Alexa’s husband doesn’t trust Carrie. He wants her out of the house, unable to ignore what people are saying about her. But when he suggests that Carrie could be a danger to their daughter, Alexa shuts him out. Nobody will ever come between her and her sister.
Then Florence is hurt while in Carrie’s care and Alexa at last starts to wonder. Alexa has always wanted to protect Carrie from the past they have hidden. But does Alexa know what Carrie wants? And will the secret that has kept the sisters together now destroy her little girl?
A completely gripping rollercoaster of a read about the darkness families hide behind closed doors. Fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be hooked on The Girl She Wanted.

First, I want to thank K. L. Slater for providing me with this book so I may bring you with this review.
If you know me then you know I love all things medical! So when I found out K.L. Slater wrote The Girl She Wanted I knew this was going to be must read! Oh boy! K. L. Did not disappoint either!
WOW! What a story!! Two different patients in the hospital tragically died from something so unusual, unnatural, and unexplained! How in the world could this have happened? This book was very fast paced, suspenseful, mind boggling, etc.
K.L. Brings awareness to a very heartbreaking tragedy Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. My heart goes out to all the readers who had this happen to them.
I loved the bond that the two sisters Carrie and Alexa had together. Alexa seemed to be her protector. But what was so cute was how Auntie Carrie was like a second Mommy to Florence. I can understand that. I love my nieces and nephews like they were my own. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for my sister or them.
It was cute that Alexa always wanted to be a Disney princess growing up.
K.L. Really surprised me on how I found myself so engaged in the investigation storyline and everything around it. It was really intense and quite interesting. I have read many crime books before for Bookouture but this one seemed different. I couldn’t get enough of this book!
One after the other shocking revelations come out in The Girl She Wanted. I was not emotionally ready for that wicked twist coming a mile a way! It blew my mind!!
K.L. Made me get out the tissues at the very end of the book! Oh yes, she made me ugly cry! This is what makes K.L an incredibly gifted writer!
