Okay Mellie George has got me completely hooked on her Bad Blooded Rebel series! I am in it for the long haul! As soon as I finished Rebel (Book #1) I immediately went right into Rogue which is also a novella. I did not want to be away from Ryder and Everleigh for very long. I had been forewarned to make sure i had plenty of tissues with me and I'm glad I did. I was a mess, as the inevitable tragedy struck for our sweet lovable Everleigh. Lucky for her Ryder is soon there to help her through it all and he does it in just the perfect way. He's not overbearing, he's not afraid to touch her, he's just well, perfect. He understands what she's going through on such a deep level and knows just how to treat her and how much she can and can't handle.Once again I loved the alternating POVs throughout the story. Mellie George really writes from both perspectives so well, you feel the emotions of Ryder and Everleigh through and through. In fact, I thought her writing this time around had improved from book #1. I felt like I was better able to get to know these characters on a deeper level, and it just made me love them even more. The feelings they have for each other are so strong and I found myself smiling a lot during this story, once I got past the sorrow. And yes, of course this book is also full of HOTNESS. In fact, it's a lot HOTTER than book #1 (because let's face it rockers have hot sex!) but it is also romantic and sweet and filled with emotions as well as desire and passion. It's an amazing combination.I also really enjoyed getting to know the other band members a bit better, as well as Jessie. I think she's going to be a great friend to Everleigh and to Danni as well, as they all get to know each other better. And Beau, Kris and Jude are still hot as ever but I really enjoyed learning more about their characters and watching them interact with each other as well as with Everleigh. She learns to trust them, to see them as safe and secure and I was so glad to see how they reach out to her like one of their own.So the ending....well while there is a HEA for Ryder and Everleigh, the story takes a twist that I did not see coming and that has now left me so eager for Book #3. Which is exactly as it should be, again Mellie George did a great job keeping my interest going. I will be counting the days for sure until Renegade's release. And then for all future books about the other band members, which I'm pretty sure she's got up her sleeve.Thank you once again Mellie George for another amazing story in this series! I can't wait for more!
