Basic
Summary
Hector
makes one (huge) mistake; he waits for Sadie to come to him. Tragedy strikes and Sadie’s got a choice, she
can retreat behind her Ice Fortress or she can embrace the Rock Chick/Hot Bunch
World. Guided by Hector, the Rock
Chicks, the Hot Bunch and her new gay roommates, Buddy and Ralphie, Sadie
negotiates a life out from under her father’s thumb, a life that includes
poison, arson and learning how to make s’mores.
What I
love About This Book
First
off this book begins very differently than the rest of the ones in the
series. By the end of chapter two you’re
crying, your heart is pounding out of your chest, and are in complete
shock. At certain point luck runs out
for the Rock Chicks and when it does it’s the female lead in this book, Sadie,
who pays the price. You immediately love
her because of what she has been through, and it’s not something bad that
happened in her past it’s very present throughout this entire book and that is
what sucks you in as a reader.
To
me Sadie in a lot of ways is hard to relate to because of how she’s grown
up. Like she says in the book she’s
never had friends, she never went to camp, she never did the normal everyday
things that we all take for granted and because of this she’s more out of touch
to me than the other girls. But what I
think the genius of Kristen Ashley is that knowing she’s someone hard to relate
but she goes through something horrible so it gives you the chance to latch
onto her anyway. To me this book was
probably the most emotional of the series and it’s because of Sadie and her
state of mind that just makes you want to reach out and hug her throughout the
entire story.
Hector
and Sadie’s chemistry is nothing short of sizzling, and their sex scenes were
awesome. Hector is a definite bad boy,
and is just too hot and sexy for words.
He’s awesome, and I love that his house isn't as set up and done as the
other Hot Bunch’s houses because that way Sadie and Hector together can make it
their own home. Even though he’s a hot
head and I wanted to slap him a couple times in this story I also wanted to
kiss him and do some other things as well.
I love his big nosy family, I loved them Jet and Eddie’s story and I
love them in this book as well. Blanca
like Tex cracks me up and every time she was around I had a huge smile on my
face while reading.
I
love that like every Rock Chick book none of the other Rock Chicks are
forgotten and we are able to see the progression of their relationships. We get to see Jules and Vance married and
with a kid, and we see movement forward with Jet and Eddie and in the epilogue
with Hank and Ava. I love that this series doesn't ignore past characters they are always central to every story, and it’s
so great to see the love between each and every one of these people.
Cons
I
sound like a broken record with this complaint but I need more break away from
the usual plot in this series. I get that
this is a series and they all follow the same story pattern, but it gets boring
after a while and it makes it hard to read book after book because of it. I like that what happened to Sadie was very
sad and it broke the mold as far as the Rock Chick escaping somewhat unscathed (except
for Jules) but I would've liked more of a change up involved. As much as I love Sadie and Hector I didn't love them as much as I did Stella and Mace but that’s just me so I can’t really
count that as a con.
