Preppy: The Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part One (King, #5)

by T. M. Frazier

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.



He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.



Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.



Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.



And their deaths.



For most people, death is the end of their story.

For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, is as twisted as the day is long. He's the devil in a disguise of suspenders, bowties, and button ups. When he saves a junkie girl from ending it all, the devil decides to come out and play.

Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet just wants all the pain to end. Deciding to take a nosedive off a water tower seems like the only option left to her. When she is saved by a tattooed walking contradiction, it sets them both on a crash course towards love and death.



Gosh, I don't even know where to begin this review. I LOVED every second of this book. I was/am a HUGE fan of PREPPY in earlier books, so when I heard we were going to get a couple books featuring him, I overcame my abhorrence to cliffhangers and requested an ARC.

You think you know Preppy, he's nerdy, and sexy, and crazy, but he is SO much more than that. He's damaged, and broken, and sweet. Hearing about his past will break your heart. I wanted to reach into the book and give him a huge hug. Dre was an awesome character as well. Damaged and broken in her own right. She also showed great strength and resilience. Together her and Preppy light up the pages with anger, and tension, and passion.

Miz. Frazier's writing is flawless as usual. You'll be sucked in from page one. There is A LOT of story that takes place in this (the first of two) book(s). Your emotions will be pinballing all over the place. You'll be yelling "WTF" and "OMG." You'll be taking Miz Frazier's name in vain, as you think of all sorts of diabolical ways to get her to release book two sooner.

Really all there is left to say is READ THIS BOOK.
