Grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go....

Another great book by Erica Spindler! This author knows how to grab you on the first page, and doesn't let go until you've read the last page. Even though I figured out the killer's identity fairly soon--and the author gives ample clues but enough doubt to make it really interesting--it's the ride to the finish that's the true enjoyment. The love interest is just enough without overshadowing the plot, the secondary characters come alive with believable motivations, and the details are well-researched. Bravo, Ms Spindler! There's a reason you're on my list of auto-buys.

A riveting suspense....

Andie Bennett and her two friends, Raven and Julie, lives were changed during the summer they were fifteen. What started out as a lark between three teenage girls soon turned into something deadly. For Andie, seeing the shocking sexual acts performed by two faceless people was horrifying. She had never realized that there were people in the world who got satsifaction from the sick sexual acts she has witnessed. Raven was facsinated by the control that 'Mr. X' had over 'Mrs. X'. All her life she has strove for control over her life and the people in it. Julie has always believed her father, the Reverend that she was the spawn of the Devil and is heartbroken to find herself aroused by the acts that she has seen go on in the abandoned house. Then their world was rocked when one night, Mr. X left and Mrs. X was found dead two days later.Nick was the detective on the case of the murder on that summer night fifteen years ago. It has always bothered him that the murder went unsolved though he holds little hope that the crime will ever be solved. Then all three girls seem to be in the small town at the same time and bizzarre things start happening. Then Andie starts getting odd phone calls and anonymous mail and a terrifying gift laying on her bed one night. She finds herself turning to Nick instead of her two best friends which changes the course of her life once again. She also has a client that admits he has a sexual problem and claims he needs her help before he hurts the woman that he loves. Bound by doctor-patient confidentiality, Andie feels the conflit rising within herself when she sees Julie going down a self-destructing path with the very client that makes her question her morals as a therapist. Then there is Raven, who is acting more odd as the days go by. They had always been best friends, her, Raven, and Julie, but Andie had always missed how possessive and obsessive Raven was about loyalty and family. Spindler brings the reader into a terrifying place that involves three friends who witnessed something that would shape their lives and the paths they would take. It will alternatly make the reader sad and scared as these three people try to find their niche in life.Don't miss it!

WOW!!! A must for us mystery/thriller readers!!

This was the second book that I have read of Erica Spindler's and I was shocked!! I had hardly heard of her books but they definitely deserve some praise! This book does have some sexually explicit parts but they are put together to take you on one heck of a thrill ride. This isn't just another Nancy Drew! The characters are very thought out and believable along with very unique throughout the book. I would sit down and start reading but just couldn't put it down because one thing lead into the next and besides sleep is overrated! :-) A must read!

Addictive!

What a great book! This is the first book I've read by Erica Spindler and I can't wait to read more of her work. I read this book in one day...I just couldn't put it down!

I though the title SHOCKING PINK was very appropriate.

This was the second book I have read by Erica Spindler. The first was a Cause for Alarm which was great as well. Both held my attention from the beginning and was a very fast read. If you want an entertaining read and you love suspense and romance then I highly recommend both books. I am definitely looking forward to reading more books from this author.
