The Bow Tie is Back!
PREPPY by T.M. Frazier is LIVE!
Blurb
Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy,
likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and
a good f*ck.
He’s worked his way out from
beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for
himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s
torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the
one to end the life he loves.
Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung
out and tired.
Tired of living for her next fix.
Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the
mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to
end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives
forever.
And their deaths.
For most people, death is the end
of their story.
For Preppy and Dre, death was
only the beginning.
This is the fifth book in the
King Series and it's meant to be read after Soulless.
Excerpt
“No! I hate
you,” she spat, as I continued to tug her beside me.
“Good, you
can hate me while I fuck you,” I said. “But first things first. My lesson
obviously didn’t take in that brain of yours. You want what you want and I
can’t stop you,” I said, as we approached the train tracks which were elevated
on a mound of gravel several feet off the ground. The warning lights flashed
orange, the neon reflective barriers dropped down to cover the service road,
while the bells indicating an approaching train clanged away. “And since I
can’t stop you, I’m going to help you out. Bullet in the head was so three
hours ago. I’ve got something even better in mind now.”
“Wait.
What?” she asked, her teeth chattering. “You…you wouldn’t.”
“Wouldn’t
what?” I said, turning around to face her, almost losing my footing when I
noticed the trail of dried tears on her cheeks. I looked away for a fraction of
a second to regain my composure. “You think I wouldn’t kill someone?” I cocked
an eyebrow. “You already know that I’ve been there, done that, bought the
motherfucking t-shirt, doll.” Her eyes went wide and she made a move to step
back. “Oh no, Doc, I read your letter and I saw what you wanted. And remember,
I’m nothing if not accommodating.”
When I
pulled her to climb the gravel mound her knees locked up so I bent over and
picked her up by the waist, tossing her over my shoulder, carrying her onto the
tracks while she beat on my back with her closed fists. When I got to the top I
set her down roughly and she fell backwards onto her ass, bracing herself with
her hands against the large pieces of gravel under the tracks.
The whistle
of the train blew in the distance. It wouldn’t be long now. Dre made a move to
stand up, but that wasn’t what I had in mind. I bent down and pushed on her
chest, spreading her tiny frame across the tracks. I crawled on top of her,
pinning her down with my thighs. I leaned over her, my chest to hers as we both
breathed rapidly. She struggled underneath me to get up, pushing at my chest,
but I wouldn’t budge. “Why the struggle, Doc? This is what you wanted, isn’t
it?”
She glanced
up at me as the train whistled again. Her gaze flipped to her right, where the
single yellow light from the train emerged from around the corner, shining
brighter and brighter as it chugged closer and closer. For a moment she stopped
struggling, looking back and forth from the train to me.
“So what,
you’re gonna die too?” she asked, hoping to appeal to my sense of self
preservation.
I shrugged.
“I get bored easily, maybe the devil will make me his errand boy or something.”
“Preppy,
this isn’t funny. Get up and get off the fucking tracks,” she said, her concern
shifting from herself to me.
I shook my
head and yawned. She wiggled underneath me, and although there was a train
barreling toward us my cock once again stirred to life. Maybe I should just rip
down her panties and push inside of her. Train or no train, it would be one
fuck of a way to go out.
“You have to
choose, Doc,” I said, making my voice as serious as I was capable. “Life?” I
asked, screaming over the sound of the train screeching against the track. I
pushed my hard cock against her core and she gasped. Her trembling turned into
a shiver, her mouth fell open. I glanced to the side at the blinding light of
the approaching train as it bathed us both in a tunnel of light. I leaned down,
so close that my lips were a whisper above hers, as I shouted, “Life? Or death?
What’s it gonna be, Doc?” My hair blew around my face as the light grew
brighter and brighter. “Answer the fucking question!” I demanded, my hands
squeezing her shoulders, my fingers digging roughly into her skin. “DO YOU WANT
TO FUCKING DIE?”
With only
seconds left until we became shredded under the train, Dre closed her eyes and
sighed. When she opened them again they were glistening, fresh tears spilling
from the edges.
She started
to speak, her lips forming the beginning of the word, but before it could fully
leave her lips I stood, pulling her up with me. I lifted Dre into my arms and
took a running leap off the tracks, my legs flailing in the air as we fell the
seven or so feet. Dre’s decision still on her lips, her scream surrounding the
air around us as we crashed down into the field.
“I wanna
liiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvveeeeee.”
Review
Review by: Melanie
(5 stars)
Mainly set just before King and Tyrant, Dre is Mirna’s granddaughter (Mirna being one of the grow grannies), and when she returns home to her with less than honest intentions, Preppy effectively captures and keeps her, getting her to agree to help him in exchange for letting her go. We get to see lots of why Preppy is who he is, and how he and Dre slowly start to become more than just “friends”.
I can’t say anything more at all to do with the plot because it will just be a major spoiler. I loved it. I loved all of it. And that ending! I feel like I’m in a bit of a book hangover and desperately want part two NOW! Lol.

OMG Preppy’s book is here! I
wasn’t quite sure what we’d get with this one, but whatever I was thinking…
this was so much better.
