I didn't know what to expect with this book. I'll be honest; I read a sample when it first came out and moved on without buying it. I wasn't in the mood for another girl-with-issues-meets-boy-with-bigger-issues, drama. But this, this was so much more. 
 Ellie is likeable. You love her and you hate her and you want to strangle her most of the time, but she's real and broken and so relatable. 
 And Camden... Camden is so much more than a bad boy with an ugly side. He's sweet, caring, thoughtful, generous...but he's also terrifying, unpredictable, angry. And he's so back and forth that my stomach was twisted in knots wondering how his reaction would be to the next situation. 
 Karina did an outstanding job with developing each of the characters without making it seem like she was essentially creating them. Everything seemed natural, from the way they spoke to the places in between that were filled with thoughts. What I would do to get inside Camden's head... 
 The story line was filled with enough action and twists and turn to keep you on the edge of your seat, yet still be realistic. It's not like cars were exploding out of the blue just to get your blood pumping. 
 And just in case you didn't get enough of Ellie and Camden and their fucked up story, Sins & Needles is part of a trilogy! 
 I highly recommend this book to those looking for something a bit different. SHit, even if you're not looking for something different! Just read it!
