On the Run by Jade C. Jamison
5.0

ARC received for an honest review

On The Run is the first book in this new series from Ms Jamison. Although it will feel a bit like a NA book, it isn't.

We all have our favourite band or rock star, but how many of us really know how they got their start?

On The Run is a look at how Kyle and her fellow members of their all girl rock band the Vagabonds got their start.

I liked Kyle right from the get go. She is a bad ass rock chick who takes no crap from anybody - I think we could be best friends! No matter who they are, friend or foe, she is a straight talker who tells is like she sees it.

This installment of the series follows her from pre-teen guitar prodigy to starting her band. We see the trials and tribulations of a teen girl - first loves, first heartbreaks, first everythings.

The story is mostly told in the past tense, but we also get some of present time Kyle, looking back at her start in the career she has always wanted.




Ms Jamison has a knack for writing rock stars and strong women. Put the two together and it is always going to be a cracker of a book. She does not gloss over the bad parts of the life. We get their story, warts and all. She draws you right into their world and it is like you are living the journey with the characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting into teen-Kyle's head, and can't wait for more of the Vagabonds story.
