The book description says it’s a cross between Dexter and 50 shades. There is no 50 shades. This is an encyclopedic look into the life of a cam girl with Dexter-like tendencies. While there are a lot of explanations of the acts she does as a cam girl, they are delivered almost clinically with no spice. As far as a thriller, the internal dialogue of the main character made it all pretty predictable. It was a fine book. Definitely different, just wish there was more mystery and tension.

This is an erotic thriller that is dark, with many dark humor moments. The FMC is so self-aware, a bit OCD, and has decided to become a recluse due to her inner urge to murder. To make money, she decides to become a cam girl, and she quickly becomes quite good at it, becoming a hot commodity within the world.

The character development of this story is what I cherished most. The way the FMC's mind worked and how she navigated her own little world/virtual world was exciting, funny, and also heartbreaking. 

As for the plot, some of the "thriller" aspects seemed like a stretch, the middle got slow, but the end picked up. Regardless, I need to continue reading this series.

This was definitely not what I expected going in. I'm not sure what exactly I was imagining, but the writing style totally took me off guard. It's just.. so casual.

Despite that, I enjoyed this book for what it was. A nice thriller erotica.

I enjoyed what others seem to not. I thought the descriptive writing of Deanna's sex work was intriguing and fun to read. As well, my favorite part of the story was the romance. (Though, what that says about the book... the fact my favorite part of this thriller was its romance... eh...) 

I'm considering continuing the series just to see the romance between her and Jeremy develop more. We'll see.

The Girl in 6E by A. R. Torre was an interesting and quick-to-read thriller. Though I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone, if you’re not easily offended, I would give it a shot. I think that there was a lot of built out character moments, but I don’t know that it was really necessary information for the plot to progress. It didn’t provide too much added insight into our main character to sit in on some of the calming sessions, but it certainly added a lot of pages. Personally, I didn’t find that these chapters with some of her clients added to the story, but some of you who enjoy spicier novels might find these chapters a bit more enjoyable. Overall I liked the way the story unfolded, even if some of it was really creepy and cringy. I’m not typically one to shy away from a book due to content warnings (and I think this one handles the situation in a way that made sense and didn’t glorify the attacker), but if you are, then I would definitely look at those before deciding to read this book. Obviously there’s some creepy, uncomfortable, hard to read scenes, but it does make the characters more lifelike, which is why I’ll say that you should read to your own comfort level. I think the book was well written and while I wouldn’t call the characters likable (for the most part) I would say that they are very true to life. I think that the actual plot, drive, and decisions of the characters were well-founded and justified, which is hard to do in a succinct, understandable way when you’re dealing with such severe topics. If you can get over the content warnings and want to read a unique thriller, this one is entertaining and enjoyable.

Had lots of fun with this, a very solid 4 stars.

The concept was obviously very intriguing and it held up. The plot was fun, fast and tense. I appreciated there werent any forced ridiculous twists that I think some thrillers seem to feel the need to squeeze in. 

I actually found it really easy to route for the main character and grew kinda attached, which I didn't expect. I really appreciated the respect the author showed for camming and women in the sex industry, which was pretty refreshing.

Excited that this is going to be a series, and one I definitely intend on continuing
