"My life, inside this apartment is simple. It works, as long as I follow the rules.
1. Don’t leave the apartment. Not in case of fire, not to mail a letter, not to run an errand. The door stays shut, and I stay inside.
2. Don’t get attached to clients. I take off my clothes, I stand in front of the camera, and I perform. What they want, I give. Their secrets, I keep. Everything I tell them, is a lie.
3. Don’t kill anyone. I’ve obeyed that rule for over three years.

The summary of this book caught my attention right away- took me a little bit to get into it but once i did i couldn't put it down!
You follow the girl in apartment 6E, as she NEVER leaves her apartment, the story is told from her perspective mostly and we learn that she is having homicidal fantasies and has had to lock herself away in this craphole apartment.
She is a cam girl so she makes plenty of money from that, and we learn about the different clients she has to deal with every day.
Every morning she leaves her door unlocked, even though no one comes and she never leaves, she hopes some braves soul will dare to enter so she can fulfill her homicidal fantasy. For the past 3 years she has had the same delivery man- and at first he tried to fight her about leaving her packages sitting against her door since many of them required a signature. Eventually he gave up and did as she asked, always wondering why the sweet sounding girl on the other side of the door refused to leave her apartment.
He tried on multiple occasions to sneak a peak by waiting but she never came out and the package he dropped off just stayed there.
One day though Jeremy ( her delivery man) came to the door and knocked and expected to hear his normal "leave it by the door-thank you" routine... except he never heard that and when he listened closer he heard muffled screams as if she was in trouble and possibly hurt. **Now remember she is a cam girl- we know this he does not LOL**
So he attempts the door and finds it unlocked, in his moment of panic for her he busts through the door and is frantically searching the small apartment with his eyes, he finds her naked on the bed with bright lights on her and a wicked look on her face. She goes from confused, to horny, to pissed off. She lunges off the bed towards him and begins fighting with him, grabbing his box cutters and attempts to kill him with his own weapon.
Jeremy is to strong for her though and he manages to get a hold of her and try to calm her down. Except she knows that she is naked and he is attracted to her- she begins to use her body and when he can no longer take it begins to kiss her. She enjoys it for a split moment until something snaps inside her and she goes back into her homicidal rage. Deanna (the girl in 6E) forces him out of her apartment and is shocked by what happened. The next day they go back to their normal routine..
Everything at this point seems like this is how it will be going- except she has a new cam client and he is seriously creeping her out. He wants her to do age play, where she has to act a certain age and taken even further pretend to be "Annie". Since Deanna is so worried about her privacy she has a hacker look into every client, and when she looks into this new client she is not happy. Nothing is popping up but something seems "off" about him...
A few days later the news is reporting on a missing child, an Annie... She was taken from her home and has not been seen since. They have no leads and no suspects as to who would want to take the child. She left the home willingly, so she knew whoever took her.
When Deanna finally hears the news of the girl missing, something clicks in her and she knows that her new client had something to do with this-- she calls the police and tips them off, they are too slow in the one horse town. She has to take matters into her own hands to save this little girl. But how can she when she cant even leave the apartment?
Now follow Deanna on her journey leaving the apartment and hopefully to save Annie, and we finally find out why she locked herself away all those years ago- why the homicidal fantasies actually began!
