Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a huge fan of Nalini Singh' s Psy Changeling series. I re read some of the books obsessively so when this series was announced I was beside myself. This was the author that gave me Judd Lauren, Kaleb Krycheck and Lucas Hunter to name a few. So, it is with a heavy heart that I rate this book two stars and I will explain why. First and foremost, nothing happens. Literally, nothing happens. There's very little conflict and almost all of it is internal. Molly is scarred by a dysfunctional childhood and parents who failed her utterly. She doesn't trust easily as a result and prefers to blend into the background. Fox is a rock star who also bears scars from childhood and just wants to be liked for himself. He sees Molly at a party and it's insta lust- this is the only woman for me-even though I haven't spoken a word to her- but I must have her now! I can totally suspend disbelief here because this is after all a romance and in fantasies love or lust at first sight is totally possible. Except it just didn't work for me here because there's simply nothing about Molly that is remotely interesting. In other words, she is as dull as dish water. I could believe Fox found her attractive and lusted after her but the whole I must have her, she is mine forever didn't ring true. I wanted Singh to show me why Fox was so adamant Molly was it for him. Why does this rock God who could have any woman in the world want this one specifically? I never got the answer to that. Instead, we get some conversations and a few fights between numerous sex scenes. While I love some sexy times just as much as the next person in this book they became so repetitive that they just overwhelm. It was basically the same sex scene over and over again. Fox was the quintessential Singh hero to an extent. He was Alpha-ish, possessive and super protective but he too fell flat. He never really came to life for me. His band mates were more interesting and better developed than he was (Noah, now there's a book I'm looking forward to). Anyway, I can honestly say that of all the Singh books I've read even the ones I didn't really care for ( here's looking at you Mine to Possess) I could hardly bring myself to put down. Rock Addiction, on the other hand, I could have easily put down and never picked back up again. Then, why did I slog through this one? Well, it is well written. In spite of a dull plot and lackluster main characters Singh simply doesn't have it in her to write a bad book. There are scenes that are magical all of them involving the secondary characters and other members of the band. Some of the dialogue and interactions between the boys were reminiscent of the Changelings. I kept reading just to see what was going to happen to Molly's friend Charlotte and her demanding boss T- Rex. That's a book I'm really looking forward to as well as finding out what the heck is in those Memos drummer David sent Molly's sister Thea. I do not recommend this book to anyone new to this author as it is definitely not a good representation of her immense talent. If you are a fan it is worth reading just to familiarize yourself with the characters because I have every faith that this book was just a blip in the radar and the rest of the series are going to rock.
