Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Badly written
Review: I wanted to like this book. The plot is promising, but the whole thing is so clichee ridden and the cast so two dimensional that I had to call it a day after 60 pages. I think it would have appealed to me when I was 15.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: I'm only left wondering why I have never heard of Erica Spindler before. I'm buying all of her available books just off the reviews of other readers. I believe the 5 star rating! You can't put this book down. Buy it or borrow it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A sort of girly suspence novel
Review: In terms of literary merits, this books deserves less than one star, but on the other hand it does not make any sense to compare it with a book written by a Novel prize winner. Their nature is so far apart that they can not be measured by the same rule. In this case, my rating is based on the simple fact that it is a simple plot with simple characters for those moments when you want fun, simple uncomplicated reading. In other words, this is not the type of book you suggest as a program for a reading club, but you will enjoy it in an airplane if the in-flight movie is too lousy to watch.

An the plot? Oh yes!!, three female teenagers who are best friends, but at the same time endure rotten family lives, during an excursion around the block see a couple engaged in kinky sex. .All of them get mesmerized by what they see but for different reasons. Sadly a crime occurs in which somehow all of them get involved, and those events will come to haunt them fifteen years afterwards, forcing them to recognize a crude reality among themselves.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really great book.
Review: Ms. Spindler knows how to spin a web of mystery. She really held my attention. Shocking Pink was hard to put down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SHOCKINGLY GOOD!
Review: Ms. Spindler wrote an incredibly complex and amazingly wonderful tale about three fifteen year old girls who watched very kinky, erotic sex games in a supposedly empty house . . . and inadvertantly witnessed a murder. Fifteen years later the murderer is back . . .

What is it with Librarygeek? This book is very well written. In fact, the first chapter is some of the finest writing I've ever read, if not the finest.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I like extra cheese on my pizza - not in my books
Review: Shocking Pink follows a group of three girls over a span of 15 years. Andie, Raven and Julie, all come from broken homes. But their lives are turned upside down after they begin to watch a kinky couple engage in dangerous sex on a weekly basis. The friends begin to keep secrets and lie to each other. Each girl is effected in different ways. The book mostly follows Andie around. After a long string of bad books, I really enjoyed reading this one. It's over 500 pages but I finished it quickly. Yes, the reading is very simple and easy like Mary Higgins Clark's work. But if you can overlook that, you'll find this book to be worth the time and effort.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Erica Spindler, My New Favorite Author-
Review: Shocking Pink was my first Spindler book. I love the way she thinks and writes. After finishing Pink, I purchased Bone Cold, Cause for Alarm, Forbidden Fruit, Fortune, Red, and All Fall Down. Each book was a journey of excitement, thrilling story lines, and incredible twists. I enjoyed the subtle similarities, and unpredictible endings. Excellent author!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Miss Spindler's Work Leaves Much to be Desired
Review: Shocking Pink, although it kept my attention, reads like a cheesy murder mystery. The book in itself was not too bad, and the plot could've worked. However, this writer is not ready for the big time, I suggest she tries again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic reading
Review: The first book I read by Erica Spindler was Cause for Alarm which immediately sent me searching for Shocking Pink. I belong to a book club that could not find her other books for me, but AMAZON DID. I will read all of her books published and any others in the future.
