Mixed feelings

I loved it but I hated the culmination pretty hard, so much so, how can that not spoil some of what went before? I feel a little angry at where it went after how E&P were built together in the story. I need to talk this out!

The writing was superb, the characterisation just drew you into the story and the storyline had that hopeful but tragic feeling. Overall it was bitter f'ing sweet.

An interesting take on addiction

This book tells the story of Nikkis decline into addiction and his struggles to get out of it. Some of the story Motely cruel fans will already know but in this book Nikki goes into the feelings and emotions behind the situation. The book is a bit dull in places.

I wasn't sure how into this I'd be with it being urban fantasy but I pretty much devoured it. There was just the right amount of feelings in it to make me happy and the storyline was very interesting; lots of stuff happening to keep me entertained.

I really wish I'd bought the other books in the series when they were the daily deal on Amazon the other day, as I can't wait to continue this series!

"I had the chance to see Pennebaker give a talk before a screening of Monterey Pop. The audience got incredibly rowdy during his discussion of his short film Daybreak Express and interrupted Pennebaker’s remarks, chanting “Let’s rock!” Pennebaker gave up and rolled the film. Really lousy, but fitting. Watching Pennebaker and the Maysles’ incredible documentaries in tandem give me those same raw and complex feelings about rock ‘n’ roll as an art and a primal force."
