Girl in 6e (Deanna Madden Novel, #1)

by A. R. Torre

"I haven't touched a human in three years. That seems like it would be a difficult task, but it's not. Not anymore, thanks to the internet. I am, quite possibly, the most popular recluse ever. Not many shut-ins have a 200-member fan club, a bank account in the seven-figure range, and hundreds of men lining up to pay for undivided attention. They get satisfaction, I get a distraction. Their secret desires are nothing compared to why I hide... my lust for blood, my love of death. Taking their money is easy. Keeping all these secrets... one is bound to escape. What if you hid yourself away because all you could think of was killing? And what if one girl's life depending on you venturing into society? Enter a world of lies, thrills, fears, and all desires, in this original thriller from A. R. Torre"--

I've had this sitting on my iPad for awhile now, and finally got around to giving it a go...



This was some seriously twisted fuckery of the mind I'll tell you. Deanna is batshit crazy, but you just can't help but like her. The plot was intense and captivating and kept me turning the pages. The secondary characters are well written and interesting. It's told in multiple POV, so you get a really well rounded understanding of where the story is going, and what the characters are feeling.



Plus, I learned a whole bunch about fetishes I never knew before, so it's educational all around. I'll be moving onto book two and can't wait to see what's in store for Deanna, Jeremy, Dr. Derek and Mike.

I was not expecting this! The Girl in 6E is unlike anything I've read before, probably because I don't tend to pick out erotica when I'm buying books. But The Girl in 6E was making the rounds on Booktube and I was feeling left out and here we are. I'm very surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, which is basically psychological thriller meets erotica.

Yeah, so, erotica. Deanna, the protagonist and the girl in 6E, is a webcam girl. She chose this career because she experiences murderous tendencies and she doesn't trust herself with the general public, so she avoids human contact completely and earns thousands of dollars a week camming for a living. The Girl in 6E goes into a lot of detail on that matter, so don't be shocked by it.

There's a mystery running throughout the book. After Deanna is introduced, we hear about a little girl who gets abducted. It's one of those books that shows you the culprit and the build up and the event, but the protagonist has no idea what is going on. But somehow Deanna ends up helping the detectives with this case.

I'm not going to lie, while I liked the mystery and thought it was hella creepy, I did think that the other half of the plot - the erotica and the "ship" - overshadowed it a lot. But I didn't mind so much because there was also the mystery of Deanna's background and how she came to believe that she was a murderer, so there was a lot going on. I certainly wasn't bored. I also really liked the whole "murderous tendencies" thing. I imagine that feeling this way is more common than you'd think.

The only thing I really didn't like about The Girl in 6E was the ship, if you can even call it that. So, "ship". I mainly didn't enjoy it because the guy was a prat. He just walked into her apartment one day after trying to catch a glimpse of her. And yes, I understand that he wanted to know who she was because he'd never seen her, but he was incredibly unprofessional and oh my god, if someone invaded my privacy like that I would actually want to kill them.

I'm looking forward to reading the sequel, Do Not Disturb, and seeing where Deanna goes next. I want to know how the erotic bits develop because of things that happened at the end of this book, and how Deanna handles the things that are to come.

Holy SHIT. This book is unlike ANYTHING I'VE EVER READ BEFORE. I didn't know what the fuck was going on most of the time. The story is creative and unique, and the writing is impeccable. Usually I pick up on typos and misspellings when I'm reading but I did not notice ANY in this book.


The is a dark story about a young 20 something year old girl named Deanna aka Jess. She has cut herself off from the outside world for the last 3 years to protect people from her homicidal thoughts. The only way she "connects" with humans is through the computer as a camgirl performing sexual acts for people at $6.99/minute. She's one of the few American girls who do it so she has quite the following and makes some good money. Throughtout the book you get to experience the story from many other peoples' POVs, which is a great way to mix things up. It had me continually trying to figure out who "RalphMA35" was as the story went along. The chapters were all quite short, which made it so the story didn't drag out/ All in all, this book was a very interesting read and I would suggest reading it if you're looking for something DIFFERENT and unlike what you have read before. It's full of mystery, suspense and some crazy whacked out sexual fetishes! Very entertaining read!
