ARC received for an honest review

Waking up to find a new Kim Karr book waiting for me - woot woot!! What a morning!

I have to say, when you look at the cover for The 27 Club, I felt it did not really fit with the story inside? Though as I read further I could understand the "ssssh" aspect of it. But this might just have been me.

I was shocked when things happened to Z - I guess I shouldn't have been but still, gah!

My heart hurts for Zoey for the longest time whilst reading this book. The hurt, the grief, the belief in the 27 Club. What a horrible thing to have hanging over you your whole life. I just wanted to hug her till she felt better.

Then there is Nate. You can't help but love Nate from the minute you first meet him. I wish we could have got more of Nate and Z before things happened, I reckon I would have really loved Z too.

The UST between Nate and Zoey **fans self**. Boy oh boy things are soooo steamy between them. You can feel that if they ever get their act together it is going to be hot hot hot.

But secrets and lies never make for a good combination when it comes to a new relationship. OMG I just wanted to shake some sense into both of our darlings. Their reasons for keeping apart just - meh, I don't know. I wanted them to get together so much!

There is so many little stories going on in the main story here. There is Nate's family issues, Zoey trying to survive the next year, what was the secret Z has been hiding from everyone? All made for an intriguing story.

I felt that the story flowed well, and the plot lines all intertwined quite seamlessly. Everything leads to another tidbit in the big picture.

So, while I really liked The 27 Club, I don't know, I just felt like there was something missing for me, but I am not sure what it was. I just wish I could put my finger on it!

I enjoy Ms Karr's writing. Since the minute I first picked up Connected I have been keen on what she has next for us.
