I have been downloading books by the dozen and tossing them by sixes in the bin, and I had sincerely hoped this to be different. Luckily it was. I am glad I chose to get a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. From the moment I picked it,
Code:Pink A Novel of Suspense
intrigued me enough to spend part of my night through it, despite my eyes getting heavy with sleep. Thank you,
Erica R. Stinson
, for trusting me with your script, you haven't disappointed me.
As I began reading it, the first thing that came to mind after having been through the first two chapters was "The thrill lies not as much in the discovery of whodunnit but the chase of why, how and next what." How wrong I was, how misdirected, and therein lies the author's success! For this very reason, the book is recommended. ^_^
CODE:PINK is a well-writ suspense novel coming from a fairly newbie writer, with a lot of genuine presentation about what a couple, a newly un-blessed pair of parents, go through, together as well as individually, in the event of an abduction. Erica combines several situations remarkably well that highlight a tremendous amount of underground facts throughout the tense narrative, such as the fact that most kidnapped children are taken in-between that very tiny fragment of time-capsule when the child is born and is held by the nurse and being shown around to relatives. There that moment, gone the next! And that very few parents can actually hold through this trauma, they often end up so broken, not knowing who to blame, that the only way to mend and heal themselves somehow seems to be viable by breaking up for shorter or longer spans.
The book has maintained its pace, interest, style and content throughout; each chapter bringing in a new turn, compelling to turn pages one after another. It is a quickie, you won't regret picking it for your short trip onboard or while waiting for your turn wherever. Also, the good thing is, despite maintaining its emotional quotient constantly, it doesn't lead you to despair or exasperation, it doesn't sadden you to depress though it does shock much, leaving you wondering about relationships without getting too sour or heavy on nerves.
I was hooked the minute I started this book, the writing style held my attention. I am not a great fan of overtly complicated language, this one is a smooth glide, uninterrupted and lucid; had me flipping pages, does not bore; nevertheless I never skipped through a single line just to reach to the next page. Yet.. yet, yet, yet, I wanted to reach through the pages and ultimately mistrusted all the characters because they weren't giving away the culprit lol. I now wanted to finish it because I was really eager to know what happened.
The charm lies in the story and Erica knows how to say it. She is a good storyteller. The mystery arouses curiosity.The story is gripping, it captivates, evokes sympathy, some questions, and you nod a few times even when at places I felt the description lacked clear picturization, the only glitch.This is definitely a good, quick read for anyone who likes a real-life-like mystery. Do keep it on your TBR list.
The book's Kindle edition http://www.amazon.com/Code-Suspense-E...
shall be available at Amazon on 29 Dec 2015 while by Smashwords Edition the expected publication date is January 5th, 2016.
I am already looking forward to reading another by her, titled Swept Away: A Survival Tactics Novella.

Code Pink is the hospital announcement that a child has been abducted. Ryan and Carrie Ashby have been waiting for the day their child arrives, but when it happens, the horror begins. Within minutes, of delivering the baby, someone walks out of the hospital with their child. Ryan immediately thinks it is his wife’s best friend who cannot stand, but there many things that cannot be explained.
As the mystery deepens, one betrayal after another creates a conspiracy that has baffled the police. Who has the child and what do they want with it?
This a very fast-paced thriller with one surprise after another. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book. The story was original and twisted in ways I did not expect. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the fact that Ms Stinson makes a fairly major story line error. She contributes a murder to one character when it was committed by someone else. The author should be able to keep her facts straight; she's the one writing it, after all. Also, my other major issue was the amount of profanity Ms Stinson used. At one point I began to wonder if she had a quota for the number of vulgarities she was required to use. I just don't understand the need for the rampant use of profanity. I'm not a prude by any means, but an author should have such a grasp of grammar that she can write the tightest, most intense scene without resorting to the lowest common language. As I have said about another author, I want to write and ask if she kisses her mother with that mouth; it's that bad. I may check out another book from Ms Stinson, but if it has the same amount of profanity, I'll sadly have to take her off my list. (Not that she's going to lose any sleep over it! :) )

Code Pink is a story of love in all it’s permutations. It is also a heck of a crime thriller!
There is the love of a husband and wife. The love of parents for miscarried and stillborn children. Then the love and hope of a near full term pregnancy.
There is some stress too, the wife’s clingy friend Joan, the husbands drinking, and then all heck breaks loose.
I don’t want to spoil the story so read it and hang on!
Really good book!

Wow what a Gripping psychological suspense thriller of a story !!!!
Looking for an amazing quick 5⭐ read ? Then look no further.
This is my first time reading a book by this author. I liked the author’s writing style. The story is well written and easy to follow. I was able to easily picture the events as they happened. I found the story gripping, even as it took an unexpected turns. It totally caught my attention from page 1 and is every parents worst nightmare. It had me holding my breath several times. It is very fast paced and had me on the edge of my seat. This is far different from the normal kidnapping stories you read. I loved this authors different spin on it. I promise you this is not one you will very easy figure out .
I was hooked from the very first page. The well written story takes so many twist and turns, and even when you think you know what happened, Surprise another twist. The story was so vivid and real. I got so drawn into it that I tuned out the whole world around me, and before I knew it I turned the last page. There is plenty of drama, lies, betrayal and hidden agendas. I can very easily see this as a lifetime movie . you will like and hate some of the characters In this book. ( which is what you are suppose to do ) You promise you will not regret picking up this thrilling book. I Highly recommend it . I can't wait to read more of this authors books.

An exceptional twist turning 180 degrees from the expected plot of grieving parents of an apparent abduction of their newborn after several miscarriages.
Assumed and expected alliances unveiled to be unexpected and mystifying.
The author is brilliant in weaving stereotyped emotions and relationships upside down creating surprise after surprise. The introduction of characters at the right moment and how to fit in the overall scheme of things is outstanding.
A must read.

I thought this was a great book. I loved the plot and how the author describes the events. I liked the characters. It was an emotional book with quite a clever story. I would not have thought of the twists that occurred in the book. I am now going to follow this author and look into more of her works.
