The book kept me glued, the story was quick and from the start it felt like I was watching an episode of “Law and Order SUV” – well, not exactly up to the mark but still. The story was not new but it definitely made me look forward to the conclusion and the identity of the killer.The characters were just there. Some of their reactions and situations were downright disappointing; like Chelsea falling in love within a week with the cop even after knowing that her roommate had been murdered and that she was the main target. Lucas was annoying.. Oh, yes he was. One moment he has the “love at first sight” bug, then he is rude, then he is madly in love and becomes a protective lover; but then again he wants to leave her. I wanted to just shake him up and give him a piece of my mind. Hello! I mean really…“Spoilt” would have been a better read if more attention was paid to the characters. I also fail to understand why there were so many chapters about Lucas and Chelsea’s relationship after the murderer was killed…I just wanted to get it over with as the motive was so unjustifiable. Detective Lucas Hunson has been struggling with a strange case, one that reminds him of something personal. A serial killer is on the loose and is carving a word into the bodies of the women he kills and it’s Lucas’ job to find this killer before he kills again or Lucas looses the tight control he has on his emotions.Chelsea Summerville’s best friend ends up missing and she is dragged into the killers world, because she may be his intended target even if she doesn’t know why. During all of this, Chelsea and Lucas can’t deny their attraction to each other. It’s an attraction that may get Lucas fired if he doesn’t keep his head in the game.Spoilt is one helluva ride, filled with twists & turns. I had no clue what was going to happen & for me that is one of the big requirements I have with a thriller. I hate when I can spot who the bad guy is from the beginning and Joanne Ellis totally messed with my head in that respect.I really enjoyed Spoilt, it was one of those books you couldn’t put down because you had to know who the killer was and why. Part romance and part thriller, it was just made of awesome. My only issue is it seemed to drag a little bit with the drama between Lucas and Chelsea, it wasn’t very realistic to me. If something happened to me and the man I was dating freaked about it, I don’t think I would be so forgiving.If you want something action packed that will mess with your head a bit, grab a copy of Spoilt.
What do You think about İzlenemez (2011)?
Meh. The premise had such promise but the execution was poor and lacked any emotion.
