Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews
You might've heard of that book. It's the one with the children locked up in their grandparents' house because of the inheritance their mother wants to get. They mustn't be noticed so they get hidden for at first only a day, but this stretches into three years. And the greedy bitch of a mother does something unforgivable. The grandma's a real piece of gold, too, paranoid as fuck and intent on catching the kids doing dirty stuff.
Well, she only catches the naked older girl being eyed by her older brother, but she doesn't even notice anything about the romance they've got going on later. Sex, it's incest and I found it kinda hot so I'm weird. But what can I say, I'm lonely ere and my weird desires can't be stilled. (Kenny we need to talk when I get back, I need a friend-therapist ASAP)
Also, the perfection which the Mary-Sue characters are described to picture is so unreal that I can't take it seriously, anyway. It's just gruesome.
Petals on the Wind also by V.C. Andrews
So the kids have escaped and this book is all set on older girl Cathy's revenge. She's so damn intent on it that it becomes really ridiculous at a point and I wanted to throw the book at the wall, but then reminded myself that I was holding my Kindle and that that wouldn't have been a very good idea. (Still, 500000 lost braincells against 190€? It was a hard decision. Also this makes me sound very smart now. Or I may have been smart before reading this.)
It's also a sausage-fest, in terms of 'WHO CAN HIDE HIS SAUSAGE FASTEST IN THIS PRIMA
SLUT
BALLERINA'. Oh, and incest. And implied baby with two heads from incest which is miscarried.
Cathy's just stupid, but her brover (WOOHOO FOR INVENTED TERMS) Chris is very sweet somehow, what with his undying love for her. Also I think this may have damaged my braincells and I'm now gonna curl into a ball and weep for myself. Curse you, V.C.!
Still a very soap-opera-y book and I just can't get myself to like the characters at all. That's also why I bought the third book, but went back to Karin Slaughter - who with her last book made me very very sad, like I was really grieving. Agh.
Oooh, now it's getting exciting! The first book I read on my Kindle!
Night in the Lonesome October by Richard Laymon
The master of violence, sex and horror - or all combined. He's a really great writer if you want fast-paced thrills with dirty scenes and splatter to no end.
This book's a bit toned down on that, though and I like the atmosphere it has. It's plain scary. I expected that sickfuck Randy to jump around the corner every page. And the bike-hag. AND OH GOD THE SCENE WITH THE TROLLS HELL. (also iphone stop being prude-ish and correcting hell into he'll. we all know steve jobs has traded his soul for money.)
So it's basically the very stupid and unlikable guy whose name I forgot running around at night after his girlfriend left him. And he meets a girl who he bangs later. He also sees a mystery girl which may be SUPERNATURAL, but really isn't. He also bangs her later. They run around together and he encounters various weird creatures of the night. All of the above-mentioned. It's scary, it's good, read it.
Also, may all of you above authors rest in peace and keep on rockin' the afterlife, hell (or he'll?!) yeah!
So apart from that it was just Shining which I already talked about, and K. Slaughter.
