Explanation As Books Beautiful Malice

Who is Katherine Patterson? It is a question she hopes no one can answer. To erase her past, Katherine has moved to a new city, enrolled in a new school, and even changed her name. She’s done the next best thing to disappearing altogether. Now, wary and alone, she seeks nothing more than anonymity. What she finds instead is the last thing she expected: a friend. Even more unlikely, Katherine’s new friend is the most popular and magnetic girl in school. Extroverted, gorgeous, flirtatious, and unpredictable, she is everything that Katherine is not and doesn’t want to be: the center of attention. Yet Alice’s enthusiasm is infectious, her candor sometimes unsettling, and Katherine, in spite of her guarded caution, finds herself drawn into Alice’s private circle. But Alice has secrets, too—darker than anyone can begin to imagine. And when she lets her guard down at last, Katherine discovers the darkest of them all. For there will be no escaping the past for Katherine Patterson—only a descent into a trap far more sinister . . . and infinitely more seductive.

Column Based On Books Beautiful Malice

I am amazed at these glowing reviews. I found this book far-fetched, melodramatic, and lacking in any sense of genuine emotion. None of the characters are fully developed and they serve mainly as plot devices for a poorly structured, ludicrous story.

4.5★sThis book is a real page-turner. I couldn't put it down and read it from cover to cover in one day. The story is well-structured and flows very well. Although it is not a new concept, it is given a fresh perspective, being centred around a group of Australian young adults as they finish their final year of school and take the first steps into a new life.The central character, Katherine Patterson, has suffered a terrible tragedy a few years earlier, with the murder of her younger sister,

Let me start by saying that I havent been so impressed by a book in quite a while. I was lucky enough to receive a copy for review and picked it up one day last week intending to read just a few chapters. Two hours later I was totally engrossed in the story and couldnt put it down. This rarely happens to me, but here James has written a psychological thriller that will grab you from page one. Seriously, the start of the book is excellent. What an opener!When we are introduced to Katherine, she

Wow. This book was way more intense than I expected! 17 year old Katherine Patterson has moved to Sydney and enrolled in a large high school where she can be anonymous after fleeing a tragic past in Melbourne. She keeps to herself, making no friends until the beautiful, impulsive Alice seeks her out and invites her to her 18th birthday. Unwilling to take no for an answer, Alice manipulates Katherine into going. Katherine, although at first reluctant, realises that as she spends time with Alice

I really enjoyed this novel. It was different to what I usually read but I had heard a lot about it on the publishing grapevine so was quite excited when it arrived at my store.So at first it was a little slow. I think having Katherine revert between teenage and adult disrupted the flow of the story. The prologue was good and an epilogue would have worked from her adult perspective but I think the book would have worked better having flowed throughout the whole experience as a teenager. It was a

About this time last year you may remember a crazy amount of hoopla about debut author Rebecca James. After a large quantity of rejection letters from agents, her manuscript was pulled from a unsolicited slush pile and started a crazy world wide bidding war for the publishing rights. While on one of my google hunts for new info, I typed in J.K. Rowling and ended up looking at a bevy of articles about the pandemonium surrounding Ms James, many of which were questioning if she would be the next

1 year ago, Katie Boydell was involved in an unspeakable tragedy. Weighed down by guilt and the cruel words of the media following the crime, she has changed her name to Katherine Patterson and started at a new school. Alice Parrie is charismatic, fearless, and exactly what Katherine needs. Flattered by Alice's attentions toward her, Katherine clings firmly to their budding friendship. Slowly Katherine's pain begins to ease, and she is able to confide in Alice her darkest secrets. But Alice has
