First, if you haven't read PIERCED, do yourself a favor: buy it right now and read it! Then, immediately purchase ESCAPED and read it too.  Although it is a novella, it adds so much depth to the story and characters, it is a "must read" for fans of this series. Then, and only then, buy PINKED and get ready to be taken on a journey that explores new facets of existing characters and introduces us to a slew of new characters that we either love or hate. There's really no middle ground here and no superfluous characters to waste our precious reading time or energy. Each character is artfully crafted and masterfully placed to drive the story forward at an ever-increasing pace that builds to maximum velocity before suddenly, and sadly, coming to a screeching halt that left me breathless and wanting MORE PLEASE!Ms. Mells is a wonderful storyteller. Her characters are, in my humble opinion, what make this series a standout in the urban fantasy genre. Her stories are original yet familiar, making them easy to dive into, and then immediately get lost in, as we experience a new version of old mythos.I have purposely stayed away from sharing plot or character details here so that anyone considering purchasing this series will have the same opportunity I did to discover all that is uniquely "Pierce" as well as her bevy of misfits.  I can't wait to see where she takes us next.....
