Scrawny, bespectacled Charles is the man who can give Aurora what she wants: the muscular physique of a world-class bodybuilder. In exchange for a brutal German trainer and syringes full of growth hormones, Aurora gives Charles what he desires: a submissive partner in his extreme sexual experiments. An intriguing premise, but newbie novelist Arnoldi is so desperate to be daring, she's made an unfortunate swap of her own easy shock in place of plot and character development. As Aurora expands into a chemically induced golem, Arnoldi eagerly details her boils, fecal expulsions, and wiry ingrown hairs as well as her sideshow-style sex with Charles. The result is a creation similar to Aurora herself: Chemical Pink is surprising at first glance but, underneath, terribly artificial.
