“Now I see Scorpion come forward in his big, bulky muscled body…"

“My organs halt in pure shock and horror at his request.”

“He smells of fish and pure mean asshole.”

“I’m shocked by the animosity in her gaze, openly lashing at me.”

“Just be independent on your own, not on some man...”

The same problems I had with the first two books (e.g. exclamation points a plenty and telling not showing) were repeated again in this 3rd book.  The way this author writes is just not to my liking, so after giving her 3 chances, I'm done with this author.   I felt a lot while reading this, but I don't believe any of these feelings were the author's intention... or maybe it was.  Maybe she's laughing at the ridonkulousness of her own books and "success" as she gleefully jumps into a plastic kiddie pool full of dollar bills.  

My feels from start to finish.

Tink's a Disney whore!  What the hell did I just read?  If you like reading stories about despicable characters doing despicable things all rolled up in a mystery suspense then open wide and take a bite out of this triple decker fuckery sandwich.  This book was inspired by the Natalie Holloway and Amanda Knox cases, which I didn't follow, and after reading this book, made me glad I didn't.

This was one messed up story about some messed characters, but it was absolutely riveting in the delving deep into the character of the main character(s), their friendships, and a murder trial.  The writing of this mystery was very well done.  The author was incredibly calculated in her portrayal and timely revealings of certain events that leave you coming to the correct conclusion a few times, but ultimately incorrect.  Whether you like it or not when the truth is revealed, this is one of those books that will keep you thinking even if you were as disgusted about it as me.  

Oh, I hate yet love when an author can make me feel like this 2 days after finishing the book.  I still feel the need for brain bleach though.  I need some lighthearted funnies too.
