Monster Skin Melancton Hawks
Where do you start to review this thing, firstly you're either gonna love it or hate it, there is no middle ground!!! Personally I loved it, its what book are meant to be, its fun, passionate, fast paced, off the wall. Its like taking a walk through NY and just stopping to watch the characters pass by, or its like turning a corner in a Frank Miller comic, with characters out of Dylan's Tarantula just flowing off the page all larger than life. The lead characters are so stereotypical they're perfect from Spooky the high school kid with attitude, the nerd, the computer geeks, the porn star, even a nice cameo by the author all enlighten the pages. I would love to see the characters given the chance to ride again, which reminds me its nota book for puritan relatives, grandmothers or the young, it can in places be a bit explicit. Hey lifes too short give the book a try its well worth the effort.
I received this book free from the author in a Goodreads "firstreads" giveaway.
Monster Skin will make you sweat. You will be challenged. Things will move. Your skin, your brain, your gut, your nether-regions, the pages. You will have fun, probably a lot more fun than you've had reading in awhile.
BalasHapusYou will want to reread it until Melancton Hawks unleashes the next Spooky Bonsai escapade.
Spooky Bonsai is to Lisbeth Salander as Stieg Larson is to Dashell Hammond...which is to say that Spooky is a heroine which walks near the line which divides the twisted from the innocent. This book is fast, hot and furious. It has all the elements of a satisfying trashy novel and yet is put together with enough elan and sophistication to keep you on your toes. I was continuously surprised and pleased by the way the story unfolded. I'm ready for the sequel.
BalasHapusSpooky Bonsai, 16, is the couture cat burglar of new york. Do not be fooled by her green lips or petite physique, she is an armed warrior with a thirst for vengeance that can only be quenched by murder and hardcore sex. In Monster Skin, Melancton Hawks reveals the details of a classified US Military operation to destroy libido in the middle east. With the help of her hacker genius bff, a trendshaping fashion mentor, a limo driving ninja and his dildo slinging dominatrix, Spooky makes the world safe for sex.Monster Skin (A Spooky Bonsai Mystery)
BalasHapusSexy, amusing, fantastic!
BalasHapusI loved this. Absolutely amazing romp all around. Everyone should pick up this book for a good time. It's bizarre in all the right ways.
Spooky Bonsai is a sixteen year old bad-ass who loves to steal the latest fashions. She comes across a woman in gorgeous heels and decides she wants them for herself. Unfortunately, the woman was killed the same night Spooky busted into her house. Now Spooky has to clear her name all the while learning the fun of sex and what magic lies behind a mysterious jacket.
I hope there's a sequel to this because I will be buying it!
