Summary: A Good Character Study
Review: Although I found this book to be interesting, well written, and the characters worth caring about, I didn't think it was one of Erica Spindler's best books. Though the storyline is sexually explicit and deals with an adult theme, it was done in a tasteful and inoffensive manner.
What kept me turning the pages was not necessarily the murder mystery itself, but rather the intricate and sometimes cloying relationship between the three young girls who grew even closer as they grew older. All were obsessive regarding family and loyalty due to various happenings in their own family dynamics. I had to keep reading to see if any of them would develop a life of their own.
I did figure out the mystery before the end and wasn't the least bit shocked. That notwithstanding, it was an engrossing story....hard to put down.

Summary: A riveting suspense....
Review: Andie Bennett and her two friends, Raven and Julie, lives were changed during the summer they were fifteen. What started out as a lark between three teenage girls soon turned into something deadly. For Andie, seeing the shocking sexual acts performed by two faceless people was horrifying. She had never realized that there were people in the world who got satsifaction from the sick sexual acts she has witnessed. Raven was facsinated by the control that 'Mr. X' had over 'Mrs. X'. All her life she has strove for control over her life and the people in it. Julie has always believed her father, the Reverend that she was the spawn of the Devil and is heartbroken to find herself aroused by the acts that she has seen go on in the abandoned house. Then their world was rocked when one night, Mr. X left and Mrs. X was found dead two days later.Nick was the detective on the case of the murder on that summer night fifteen years ago. It has always bothered him that the murder went unsolved though he holds little hope that the crime will ever be solved. Then all three girls seem to be in the small town at the same time and bizzarre things start happening. Then Andie starts getting odd phone calls and anonymous mail and a terrifying gift laying on her bed one night. She finds herself turning to Nick instead of her two best friends which changes the course of her life once again. She also has a client that admits he has a sexual problem and claims he needs her help before he hurts the woman that he loves. Bound by doctor-patient confidentiality, Andie feels the conflit rising within herself when she sees Julie going down a self-destructing path with the very client that makes her question her morals as a therapist. Then there is Raven, who is acting more odd as the days go by. They had always been best friends, her, Raven, and Julie, but Andie had always missed how possessive and obsessive Raven was about loyalty and family. Spindler brings the reader into a terrifying place that involves three friends who witnessed something that would shape their lives and the paths they would take. It will alternatly make the reader sad and scared as these three people try to find their niche in life. Don't miss it!

Summary: Grabs you on the first page and doesn't let go....
Review: Another great book by Erica Spindler! This author knows how to grab you on the first page, and doesn't let go until you've read the last page. Even though I figured out the killer's identity fairly soon--and the author gives ample clues but enough doubt to make it really interesting--it's the ride to the finish that's the true enjoyment. The love interest is just enough without overshadowing the plot, the secondary characters come alive with believable motivations, and the details are well-researched. Bravo, Ms Spindler! There's a reason you're on my list of auto-buys.

Summary: This is the second book from this author
Review: I like this author, she keeps the books that she writes moving and makes the reader anxious to read on. The characters are likeable and the ending was a twist and surprising. I have read Fortune from Erica Spindler and I also liked her style of writing.

Summary: Would read this over and over again
Review: I read this book when I was in the tenth grade and I loved it! I read it in one sitting I liked it so much that I asked my dad if he would help me find out how to order it. I never got the chance to order it but I bought from the bookstore this May when it was released again and I have read it over and over again it was incredible the ending was so shocking to me I was amazed when the killer was revealed. This book is one of my favorites and I have many favorites but this one stands out from the rest. I have purchased and read Cause For Alarm, Bone Cold, All Fall Down (which is my second favorite), and last but not least Fortune. All of them are great reads and I can wait to read her latest when it released in a paperback edition. If you like romantic suspense then you will love these books.

Summary: WHERE'D THE TITLE COME FROM?
Review: I REALLY ENJOYED SHOCKING PINK. IT IS MY 2ND SPINDLER NOVEL. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT AS A READ FOR ANYONE WHO ENJOYS A SUSPENSFUL THRILLER. . . BUT, COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW SHE ARRIVED AT HER TITLE? THERE IS ONE SPOT WHERE THEY ARE PUTTING ON FINGERNAIL POLISH THE COLOR OF SHOCKING PINK. BUT IF THERE'S A REAL CLUE IN THIS BOOK, I MISSED IT.
