The Girl in 6E by A.R. Torre
4.0

I chose this book because it was on the shelf near P.J. Tracy and it had a red spine. My younger daughter gave me a challenge to read one book per week this year, on top of the 85 I read last year. Anyway, she gave me hints to direct my book pick. This pick gave me The Girl in 6E. I nearly put it back after reading the inside jacket cover and again after reading the first 25 pages or so, but I stuck with it. I am glad I did.

As you will read in the Goodreads snapshot, the protagonist is a really messed up young lady. She is obsessed with the idea of killing someone, not nice and neat, but bloody and painfully. To prevent that eventuality, she locks herself in her apartment even going so far as to have someone lock her in at night when the drives are the strongest. She makes a good living as a erotic cam model. She orders everything she needs to live from food to furniture to computer equipment online, requiring it to be delivered. The delivery guy finally gives up and signs for her packages himself.

I won't go on any further into the story line, but suffice to say it was sufficiently compelling for me to finish the book in a day and a half. I could feel sequels in the offing and will read them as they become available at my library.

I would not recommend this book for the prude or the weak of heart, but for everyone else, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Good reading.
