ARC received for an honest review

3.75 rocker stars

You had me a "rockstar" Ms Ann! I am a sucker for a rock star book, so wave one in front of me and I am always going to read it.

Brooklyn Rockstar was more of a sweet rock star than a bad boy rocker. Of course there is the groupies and all that goes along with them, but it was more rumour and innuendo than sexy times for Charlie Walker.

Evelyn - hmmm, not sure where I find myself with Evelyn. I liked her - most the time - but sometimes she was just ugh. At times she felt like a 13 year old girl, not standing up to her overprotective brothers, whining and worrying about what they will think. She is 22 years old and moved states away from them. I wanted to shake some sense into her.

For a rock star, I wanted a bit more of Charlie on stage. I think in the whole book we only got him as a "rock star" a couple of times. Not that I didn't love getting to know Charlie for Charlie, but he could have been any kind of half-famous guy rather than a rock star (but this could just be me).

I loved Evelyn's room mate Sharlo. Gotta love a smart mouthed, ballsy woman who takes no crap from anyone, and is willing to stand up for her friends.

There is a story within the story about the disappearance of Charlie's bandmate Danny which was full of suspense, mystery and intrigue - though I wish his was not the voice that Charlie had in his head (though I guess why he does makes sense as the story continues). I think I would have liked it better if it was Charlie's inner voice or none at all (again, this might just be me).

We also have a bit of set up for the second book in the series, which I hope won't be too far down the track!

Overall Brooklyn Rockstar was a pretty good story from this new to me author, and I look forward to seeing where The Kendalls series takes us.
