The Bow Tie is back - Preppy: The Life and Death of Samuel Clearwater!!! Preppy has his own book.... From the moment we met him in the first of the King series you simply knew he needed to be given a bigger voice. 
 First of all you really, really need to have read the other books in the series first. To get the full impact of everything and understand the time frames it's important you've read all of the other books. 
 So the book starts back in the time just as King gets sent to prison. There is a bit of jumping around in this book; some bits from the 'present' and the past. Preppy is still Preppy, in the same way he's always been Preppy! He's our well-dressed, cocky, funny, dangerous, badass, dirty, sarcastic, drug-taking, drug-dealing, granny-influencing, pancake-loving guy! 
 I never knew true fear until I met pure evil. 
 He wore a smile and a bow tie. 
 We are also introduced to Andrea Capulet aka Dre or Doc!! We meet her assisting with stealing from her Grandmother. She is hugely down on her luck, addicted to heroin, and generally having a bad time of life. 
 She wasn't just some skinny bitch. 
 She was a junkie. 
 Bruised. Broken. 
 Vulnerable. 
 Together these two create a new addiction. It's a passionate explosion of two characters who in some ways are perfect for each other and in other ways oh so wrong! The story is fast paced, intense, and seriously twisted in places. 
 "But I'll take my chance because life isn't always sunshine and whiskey" 
 "Nope, more like dark storms and moonshine." 
 You need to have an open mind, but if you've read any of TM's other stories you'll know what to expect! The writing is superb and this book is everything I hoped for and more from Preppy and his story. It ends on an expected cliffhanger and has left me desperate for Part 2 now!
