allisonjanicki 's review for:
The Girl in 6E
by A.R. Torre
I've never read a book quite like this one. Besides including more erotically graphic descriptions than I am used to, the combination of sex and violence was not a topic that I had currently come across before. The book was indeed gripping, and I loved the short chapters because it was super easy to read quickly (and I mean, the story was interesting anyways so that also made me want to read on).
The "daughter-murdering-her-mother" plot twist was creative but I think was a little obvious. (Well, to be fair I didn't realize it until the flashback was actually happening, but looking back it was pretty clear who Deanna's one kill was.) It definitely gave more clarity to the reasoning behind Deanna's voluntary imprisonment, so that definitely gave me more to think about in terms of her psychology.
I liked Jeremy's character, but thought he was a little contrived. Deanna literally says early on in the book that she will never be swept away by some boy (granted, she is mostly talking about her clients) and yet she's pretty smitten at the end with this random delivery boy who she's had like, two conversations with (one of them being the time when she almost murdered him). But whatever. I like romance so I was mostly okay with it.
I wish that Ralph/Michael's character was expanded a little more. We had a few chapters in the beginning from his POV, but after he captures Annie, he kind of disappears in terms of characterization. It would have been interesting to see his perspective while Deanna was on her way to the shed/rescuing Annie. Obviously I was cheering for Deanna as she fought with this pedophilic murderer, but I don't think I was as emotionally invested in his demise as I would have liked to have been.
Overall, I was extremely intrigued by the concept of this book (props to A.R. for discussing camming, seriously an interesting and seldom discussed topic) and think it was written fairly well. I'd recommend it to people who are interested in sex/murder mystery-type books, but it might not be for you if you find graphic descriptions of sexual pleasure vulgar. Interested to see what the rest of the series is like!
