This just means that the book was nice to read on a technical level, and it flowed well. The prose in Lilac is a lot better for sure you can tell Reid has developed since her debut. Objectively, it’s a sh*ttily-written book with countless typos and cringey prose, but SOMEHOW I STILL ENJOYED IT. I first discovered this when I was reading Fear Me. Reid: she can craft one hell of a compelling story. But Loren loves pushing the boundaries, and one by one Braxton falls into a relationship with all three of them which is complicated by their pasts. ⤅ Jericho Noble, the quiet one, who seems the nicest of all. ⤅ Loren James, the blond charmer, who immediately hits on her. ⤅ Houston Morrow, the self-proclaimed leader, who immediately develops a hatred of Braxton. And Oni has put her name forward.īraxton rushes to the meeting, where she meets the three existing band members. One night, she gets a call from her friend Oni, who’s a music agent, with g, the groundbreaking news: the world-famous rock band Bound are looking for a fourth member after the recent death of their guitarist. Warning: here there be spoilers.īraxton Fawn (which has to be the ugliest name I’ve ever seen on a character) is a 22-year-old aspiring musician. For this one I’m just going to let it all spill out though, because there’s a lot to get through. If you’ve read my reviews before, you know I usually like breaking things down into pros and cons.

I have so many conflicting thoughts about this book. It seemed easy enough when I boarded their tour bus, but it only took one city for the lines we’d drawn to blur.

Somehow, I must resist the temptation of Houston Morrow, Loren James, and Jericho Noble. But the biggest threat of all isn’t a meticulous front man, a narcissistic bassist, and a drummer with too many secrets. The label wants a new image, Bound wants me gone, but I’ve got my own agenda.To succeed I have to survive a world tour, public scrutiny, and idols turned enemies. It’s no secret I wasn’t their first choice. Jaded, gorgeous, and ridiculously talented-they’re determined to turn my dream into a nightmare. From dive bars to the big stage, my instant claim to fame is nothing short of a fairytale. When Bound loses its lead guitarist, yours truly is chosen to fill his shoes. I, Braxton Fawn, am the luckiest girl alive.Įvery so often, gods walk the earth.
