"Do you really think it's a good thing for a mega-company like Amazon to "manage" all book reviews? That's where this is headed."

| The voice was better in GONE GIRL. This one had a better ending, although I figured out the big reveal before the end of the book. It's hard for writers to be readers, I think. We read with a different eye. | |

| Boy does this woman have a great voice! I give it 4.5 stars because it irritated me slightly toward the end. But, wow. I haven't read her others, but definitely will. She's the first "adult" author I've read in a while that made me actually say wow. | |

:-D I NEED TO RE-READ BURNED B/C THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BOOKS I READ OF YOURS AND IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS!! OMG!
I do listen to my readers! Eventually, enough really wanted an ending to Pattyn's story that I decided to do it. Came away very satisfied, and I'm sure my readers will, too.
Well even if you didn't plan on writing a sequel to Burned I'm soooo glad you did. Burned was probably my favorite of all your books. I CANT wait to read it. PLEEEEASE continue writing, I've already read all of your books, and I'm re-reading crank. :D
What made you write a sequal to BURNED if you weren't going to? I was just curious. I love your books and can't get enough of them.
THANK YOU for the adding me as a friend. You are my favorite author and i LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you write! <3
Thank you for adding as a friend. I am currently reading 'Triangles' & am loving it & your style of writing. I started reading it quickly & then slowed down to savor it. I truly love your style of writing. It's so refreshing & unique.Became aware of your books when I noticed my daughter reading 'Crank'. You now have two more fans.
I'm begging you to come to Ohio! Preferrably Dayton, Ohio. But I will drive anywhere in Ohio to get a book signed by you! :) It's a dream of mine to meet you, Ellen! <33
