Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Shocking Indeed!
This book is the very first Erica Spindler book I read. I have been a fan since, and gone through multiple copies of this book.
The book introduces three friends, and takes you on a wild ride through something they involuntarily step into as teenagers, and believe me, the ride doesn't stop once the author brings you into their adult lives.
I don't want to give much away about the premise of the book itself, as I think it is important to read the tale in its entirety to get the full scope of this story.
Erica paints a very vivid picture and takes you deeply into the frightening depths of the scarred mind.
Rating:  - Slow start with predictable ending
Having read Ms. Spindler's recent novels, I decided to read her older works. I checked out Shocking Pink from the library expecting a suspenseful plot. Instead I thought it was slow at the beginning and the plot was predictable. It was just an okay read for me.
Rating:  - Great Read
When I started the book I thought it was a little slow to take off and get really interesting but I continued reading as I hadn't been disappointed by any of Erica Spindlers novels and I'm glad I did. The book is excellently written and the characters were all intriguing.
The book ended up being wonderful and the ending really caught me by surprise. A definite read if you like mystery thrillers.
Rating: - A Good Character Study
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.
Rating: - ENTERTAINING
This book kind of started off slow but gained momentum really quickly. The suspense was building and the climax was definetely worth waiting for. Highly recommended. Another Spindler classic!!!
