I haven't done a lot of review requests lately nothing appealed to me nor did anything I did review did I particularly like either, nothing made me say "Wow that was a good book!".  So I started Pierced with pretty low expectations...really really low expectations.  Lemme explain I never read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I am never gonna channel Betty Crocker so um yeah I thought I would hate it.  First let me say that not only did I not hate it I absolutely LOVED IT!Kudos to JC for the Justified reference, Boyd Crowder is one of the best characters to ever grace the TV screen!  For the first chapter or so when the MC was explaining her "crazy" I was not that impressed, I kept thinking of FSOG and the godawful inner goddess dialogue but the imaginary characters really grew on me and by the end I knew the story wouldn't be near as good without them.The characters were engaging, Pink especially, even the kids were interesting.  All the characters came very very strange backgrounds...can't tell much more that was half the story.  My absolute faves came in toward the end of the story an elderly gentleman and his manservant...hilarious.The plot focuses on Pierce and Mia trying to stay ahead of Dorian as he sends goons to try and bring them back to the compound.  Watching Pierce try and manage her mental illnesses along with caring for Mia and trying not to get caught kept me flipping pages.  There was some romantic tension but I certainly wouldn't call this PNR at all, though that may come up in future books, the groundwork has been laid.  I highly recommend this for any UF fan, but there are some really dark parts to this book.  I will definitely grab any and all future books in this series!
