At The Week magazine she tagged six of her favorite books with unsavory narrators, including:
Tampa by Alissa Nutting (2013).Read about another entry on the list.
Celeste is a teacher who preys on her 14-year-old male students. This story is a dark tour through a sociopathic mind, but Nutting has achieved something special.

Tampa is among Kiley Reid’s top five novels with incredible child caregivers, Amelia Gray's top ten dark books, Tiffany Gibert's ten erotic books hotter and better than Fifty Shades of Grey and Kristi Steffen's top five titles told from the perspective of an extremely disturbed individual you would never want to meet.
