A little fluffy
I can't claim to know much about Motley Crue, however this film version of their best selling book just seems a little too fluffy and light. It seems to gloss over or make fun of some of their exploits and doesn't seem to want to be as hard hitting as it could be. Yes it does show some more serious moments, but it altogether just feels like it's trying to be a bit silly and entertaining.

Some of this works, like the talking directly to the camera, but most of it just feels a little lame and cheesy. The cast are alright but nothing special, and I think Iwan Rheon is a much better actor than the small part he had.

Overall this wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either, it just seemed like a poor imitation and copy of Bohemian Rhapsody.

When Antonia Martinelli asks Penny Lively to look into sabotage at the Martinelli Winery, Penny feels like she has to say yes. However, things quickly escalate to murder, and Penny feels like she has gotten in over her head. Can she find the killer? Is the murder related to the sabotage?

This debut is filled with strong characters and a compelling plot that kept me turning pages. Sadly, the timeline early on had some errors in it, which is a big pet peeve. Those issues were resolved later in the book, and it never impacted the story. Overall, this is a strong book in what could easily become a long running series.

NOTE: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!! I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I started beyond the incredible artistry of how it was written. Which was truly incredible. For the unique layout alone, everyone should read this book. Stunning graphics aside the storyline was INCREDIBLE. I felt all the feels....anger, sadness (and yes some ugly crying), excitement.... you name it. This book had my on the edge of my seat and I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. Twists upon twists. I loved the characters, Kady and Ezra and all the supporting cast. I even had feels for the crazy AI AIDAN. I can’t praise this book highly enough!!! If I could give it 10 stars I would. It has easily become one of my new favorites of all time. I seriously can’t wait to get my hands on the second one!!!!
