Pancakes, bowties, suspenders, and a crazy fucking good time till I DIE!!!! Yup, guess who is back motherf*ckers? Samuel Clearwater aka PREPPY!!! The long awaited return of Preppy was worth the wait as readers got to see that Preppy is one crazy mofo that doesn’t need to do much to win our hearts.

“Life’s too short to pretend to be anyone else. I’m just me. I say what I want to fucking say. I do what I want to do and I don’t fucking apologize for it.”Preppy was one of my favorite characters in the ‘King’ series. If you’ve read those books, you know him and you love him #BecausePancakes. I am a long time fan of TM Frazier and I’ve read and loved all her books. That being said, I was so nervous to read this book. Because of all we learned about Preppy and the h ...more

If you're like me, you've been waiting for Preppy's story ever since reading the first book in the 'King' series. There is something oddly endearing about the tattooed, bow-tie wearing, drug-dealing enigma, that is Preppy. Nothing about him can be described as typical, or even appealing on it's own. However, it just seems to work. You can't help but love him.
This book begins years earlier than the other books in the series. It takes y ...more

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 ...more

Was there ever really a question of whether I was going to love this book or not? I have been a Preppy super fan ever since I first read about him in King. I was trying to wait to read this book until at least the second part came out. It's obvious I failed at that, and I am so glad I did!
I am going to do my best to make this review spoiler free, because I don't want to give away too much for anyone that either hasn't read all the previous books in the series or hasn't read this book. ...more

Re-read update: STILL so very good. Couldn't put it down even when I knew everything that was going to happen!
4.5 Stars. Let me start off by saying that this is not a "safe" read no matter which way you slice it. Prep is messed up in ways that go beyond any hero I've ever read. I've got to commend Ms. Frazier for standing at the proverbial line, looking down, laughing, and flipping it off before skipping over it merrily lol I'll be honest in saying that Prep's proclivities had me dealing with a ...more

I’m going to hurt you,” he said, undoing the top button of my shorts and pushing his hand into my panties, cupping my sex in his warm and powerful hand.

“I never knew true fear until I met pure evil. He wore a smile and a bow tie.”
Preppy: The Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part One is the fifth book in the King Series. Every single book in this series is stacked with action and complex characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire read. From the very first moment I met Preppy, I knew he was one character that I could never get enough of.

I want to thank you for gifting me an early copy of this book because release day wasn't soon enough for me (I've got a copy on pre-order to add to my Frazierland collection).

When I first started this series I had no idea that I would fall in love with it so much. "King" gave me a taste of the bad boy that we all love, and just the mention of his name gives me shivers.Then we got "Bear" and I was freakin RUINED!! He was the epitome of a BAD ASS and I loved every single thing about him hands down.

Of course we all know from reading books 1-4 that Preppy is the most interesting character of them all. We also know that he died at the end of book one in a shootout at the MC which was set-up by Bear’s Father. Prep had such a profound effect on everyone’s lives that they all have been hearing inner commentary in his voice since he died.

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

Let me start by saying from the moment I met Preppy, I loved him if you read this series you probably do too. However, if you haven’t read Preppy yet you don’t even realize how much you love him. I started out thinking this guy is hilarious and I love funny, but I also love broken characters and Preppy is damaged. When I read this book I was in awe of how much I could really love a character.

I must admit, Preppy's book is one of my most highly anticipated reads of this year. With that comes a bit of trepidation- of fear for too high of expectations. Preppy is one of those side characters we've met and gotten to attach to right from the beginning with King. His humor and wit is such a welcome contradiction to the darkish anti-hero nature of these books.
A kid that was once saved by a bully on the playground by King is now a grown man dressed in a hipster motif. But don't let ...more
OMG I've always loved Preppy but now I'm in Love with him.
This book was nothing of what I was expecting. It was sooo much more. We get to see layers of Preppy we haven't seen in any of the other books and honestly they surprised me and made me love him even more.
Dre was perfectly imperfect for Preppy
She's had a rough few years and she was on a downward spiral when she collide with Preppy.

When I first heard that the crazy, psychotic, Preppy was getting a book; I was so excited!!!! Probably even a bit scared, because I couldn't imagine how we were going to find any kind of normalcy, or romance in Preppy's life. I have anticipated this book for a long time now, so when the 24 hour countdown begun until it was going to show up on my Kindle...it was painful to wait for it!!!

"What exactly is the Preppy special? A bullet with a side of bow tie."
I love Preppy! Forget King and Bear, give me more Preppy! This character needs to be real. He needs his own clothing line, his own tv show or something. What I'm trying to say is Preppy is the man and I can't get enough of him! The crazier and weirder he is the more turned on I get! How does one use suspenders, bow ties and guns in the same sentence...only Preppy. I want to tame him and make him my own! ...more

Yes, I thought he was dead....and that's the reason I delayed reading his story for more than 3 years. I hate reading about dead men walking.
