be read by anyone under the age of 18.
My Thoughts:
Oh my goodness, The Girl in 6E, she was such a mystery to me. I wasn't sure how or even if I was going to be able to connect with her. She was peculiar, vague at times, and had such corrupted thoughts/fantasies. I found her personality to be very dark, dry, and flat. Her thoughts were disturbing and contorted to say the least.
But...as the story continued little by little I began to fit the warped puzzle pieces of DeAnna together. By the end of the story I understood the darkness, the isolation, the thoughts, and behavior. I completely fell in love the chick. She's quite the opposite of what she thinks she is. She's damaged, but she's good at her core.
She did horrific things, but those were done for reasons of defense, survival and protection.
There are unfortunate situations that can arise in one's life that are beyond their control. In those situations you have two options: do something about it or don't.
Much to her chagrin, I think DeAnna is a strong, stand up chick who chose to do something when faced with those type of unfortunate situations. But, because she has a conscience and a good heart buried under the dark psyche, she suffered immensely due the severe psychological repercussions of those actions.
This book has such a very unique story-line, kudos to Alessandra for creating such an intriguing, twisted story and successfully tying all loss ends together to form this coherent thrilling story.
This is the first book that I have read, where I thought, Wow!, this book needs to be a movie.
I give it 5 Stars!

Excerpt 1:
Undressing
is an everyday occurrence. Most women do
it mindlessly, automatic motions that accomplish an end result. But, if done correctly, stripping can be the
ultimate foreplay, a sexual seduction that can wipe clear any rational thoughts
and leave a man totally and utterly at your mercy. I have mastered the art.
I kneel on
the bed and trail my fingers over my skin.
Light, teasing caresses designed to heighten my senses and stimulate my
body. I exhale slow, trembling breaths
as my hands travel near sensitive areas, the dip in my neckline, the lace over
my breasts. I keep my eyes down,
subservient to him, and wait for the command.
One always comes.
“Take off
your top. Slowly.” The voice was foreign, English words dipped
in culture and dialect. I comply,
lifting my eyes and biting my bottom lip gently, my tongue quickly darting out,
and hear his gasp in response. I run my
hands down my neck, grazing the top of my collarbone and dipping under the silk
of my negligee. I slide down one strap, then two, the silk bunching over my
breasts, the fabric clinging to my nipples.
Then I rise to my knees, crossing my arms, sliding the fabric higher,
letting it reveal inch by slow inch of skin until it unveils the curve of
breasts, dip of throat, and the pout of pink lips.
“Good.” He
groaned. “Very good. I like you, Jessica.”
Jessica. Not
my real name. He thought he knew
me. They all thought they knew me. After all, they’ve seen my Facebook page,
seen the Photoshopped photos that construct my manufactured life. They believe what they see, because they want
to believe. Like I want to believe.
I turn to
the wall and stand, dragging my expensive thong down over my toned hips,
bending over and exposing my most private area to his hungry eyes. The embroidered lace slides the rest of the
way down my legs and drops around my ankles, snagging on the Italian stilettos
that encase perfectly pedicured feet. I
am naked now, and slide down to lay on my side in front of him, propped up on
one elbow, his eyes hungrily feasting on my body. The lights, bright and hot, illuminate my
bare skin, causing it to glow. He speaks,
the arousal present in his voice, in the slight thickening of his accent.
“Touch
yourself. Just your fingers. I want to see you come.”
He wants my
fingers, a seductive performance of gasps, moans, and slick foreplay. Eventually, fingers won’t be enough. The next visit he’ll want more, something
bigger, deeper - my moans to be louder, my orgasm stronger. There will be no secrets anymore, no
boundaries, no requests he won’t be comfortable giving. At this moment, I am his, to do with as he
pleased. And right now, he wants
fingers.
Excerpt 2:
“Something
happened, and I need advice.” I grip the phone tightly and wait for the
psychiatrist’s response.
“Another
episode?”
“No -
nothing about that. It’s Jeremy…you know
the guy who-”
“You’ve had
one human interaction in three years, I know who you’re talking about. What happened?”
“He left me
a note. Outside. With my package.” I read him the note, trying not to add
inflections that probably don’t exist.
When I finish there is silence, silence that stretches out so long that
I find myself fidgeting.
“What do you
want from me, DeAnna?”
“I want you
to tell me what to do! I don’t know how
to handle this shit.”
“What do you
want to do?”
“I - I don’t
know what I want. I just need you to
tell me what to do.”
“What was it
like when you were with him?”
I stand, pacing
the expanse between my two bedrooms.
Crossing the thresholds feels like moving between my two selves – sex
kitten to lonely woman. JessReilly19 to
scheming murderess. I pushed against his hard chest and then he was there, in my mouth, his
tongue pressed gently against mine, and my own traitorous mouth responded, my
heart rate increased, my hands moved of their own accord, to his strong arms. Shoving
the blade of the box cutters deep into his skin, the blood bursting from the
movement, spraying gently upon my hand. I tasted him, greedy for everything, my
hands roamed everywhere, grabbed at his shirt, hastily undoing the buttons. If he came back, if he came inside, I could
be more prepared, could succeed in my quest for death.
“Deanna?”
I halt, trying
to focus. “I’m sorry - what was the
question?”
“What was it
like when you were with him? How did you
feel?”
“I wanted
him.” On me, in me, dead beneath me.
“In what
way?” Derek’s voice is so sensual, so
soothing, so male. I make a decision,
moving to my pink bed, and lay back on the sheets that smell of lube and latex.
