Description (publisher website)
Five teenage girls have been viciously attacked. One survived. Only she can reveal the secrets of a disturbing ring of people who kidnap and sell teenage girls on the black market. But those responsible for the crimes will do whatever it takes to maintain her silence.
Susannah Vartanian and Luke Papadopoulos have both sworn to stop the murderers for their own personal reasons. The investigation leads them to the shady realm of Internet chat rooms, where anyone can mask his or her identity. They soon discover a chain of deception so intricate they don't know whom to trust. Finding comfort in each other's arms, they begin to unravel the intricately knotted threads, but the killers are ruthless and determined, and won't hesitate to take extreme measures to insure their anonymity and keep their business intact. When Susannah proves to be inexplicably linked to the crimes, her life is soon in danger, and Luke will do everything he can to save the woman he loves.
Review
I had never heard of Karen Rose, but when I saw the cover of this book I immediately had to have it (bookcrack addict!) . I'm now a HUGE fan. This book was full of excitement and drama from beginning to end. From the first page the action begins and you get swept right along. There were times I didn't think the book would ever end. It was one action packed page after another. The writing was excellent and the story moved like wildfire. This one of the few books that I hadn't figured out who was doing what by at least half way through! Ms. Rose definitely has a talent for descriptive scenes that draw you into the horror and really cause you to become emotionally invested in the characters she's written. And while this book is excellent and cover is nothing short of delicious, this is definitely not a book for teens (even if they BEG you). While the book is not full of sex and swearing, the intensity of the scenes in this book aren't for children. And there are very intense scenes in this book that just take your breath away. This is definitely a great book and one that I'd recommend over and over and over again. Shortly put...Kill For Me is to die for!
