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

So I bought this book after seeing the back of it...I'm sure you can google that...but it's damn intriguing. Based upon the back alone, I expected one thing, then I started reading and had no clue where it was going so I expected something else, and then turns out it was NOTHING like what I expected at any time. AND THAT'S NOT A BAD THING.

Now...I will say...this book is not for everyone. If you don't like sexually explicit content...don't read it. It deals with fetishes of all kinds and I hate to say it but it deals in pedophilia. Now it's not graphic in terms of explaining actions in regards to the pedophilia but it does deal with a little girl being kidnapped and the expectancy of something sexual happening with her is present. Also, the main character has a blood lust about her so there's that too. If you can't deal with all of the above, this book is not for you...and Torre realizes this book will only fit into the niche of certain folks.

Now...since the back doesn't really tell you what's going on...I will. Deanna experienced a traumatic event when she was 17 that left her with a blood lust. She wants to murder people...most anyone she comes into contact with she imagines these elaborate scenarios of how she would kill them. So...to prevent herself from acting on these, she locks herself away in an apartment. To make money, she becomes a webcam girl. Log on and for $6.99 a minute, she'll be whatever you want her to be, and do whatever you want her to do. And she makes a ton of money...we're talking 7 figure bank account here. One day one of her 'visitors' wants her to be younger than she really is and the more sessions they have, the younger he wants her to be. She gets a sneaky suspicion that something just isn't right with the guy and then one day on her computer she sees an Amber Alert for a little girl named Annie....well her 'visitor' wanted to call her Annie. So, Deanna takes matters into her own hands and for the first time in 3 years, leavers her apartment in hopes of saving Annie. Now...there are intermingling plot lines and you see things from different characters perspective but that's the basic premise.

I must say, I found some of it quite educational...after all, I had no idea Financial Domination was a thing but it is. I liked that Annie was able to fight back her killing urge in order to go out for a greater cause -- potentially saving a little girl's life. I liked that she was able to have some kind of happy ending in that she ventures outside of her apartment after all is said and done, and she finds a dude who is somehow accepting of her oddity. I thoroughly enjoyed it and kept turning the pages because I wanted to know a) is she going to kill someone, b) who is wanting to hurt Annie, c) is someone actually trying to hurt Annie, d) will Deanna be able to save Annie....I just wanted to know what was going to happen. Based on the snippet at the end, there will be a second book with Deanna and I look forward to it.

This book isn't for everyone, but I guess I'm weird and/or twisted enough to like it....
