Fatal Desires by Theresa HissongMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Slightly Too Predictable For Me
I read a lot of Rock Star books. I’ve found that many of them follow a certain formula, which unless they’ve been written exceedingly well can be a little boring.
Sadly, this book follows the formula. Rock star meets girl, have a big misunderstanding, girl and rock star are forced together by circumstances, danger is applied and rock star protects girl and shouts “MINE!”. Now I’m not saying this formula can’t work, because it does when it’s written with well rounded characters and good pacing, but this book fell a little bit short on that front.
The MFC is strong and independent minded, but she is devoted to her rock star cousin, who she works for. Her cousin is very protective, but as it’s a big tour that she works on, and she sleeps on the roadies’ bus, she can get away with telling him as little as possible.
The MMC is a rock star who’s band took a 2 year hiatus to get clean from drugs. They are working their way back up again. He is instantly protective and possessive of the MFC. This means he is a little two dimensional as his attitude towards her takes over his entire character. We really only ever get to see him through the lens of how he treats her, rather than through interactions with other people.
The book is enjoyable enough, but it is definitely predictable.
