I received this book from Caddell Brown and “Paranormal Romance & Authors That Rock” in exchange for an honest review.What the HECK did I just read? This book was extremely confusing, crazy, disgusting, and just plain wrong. Richard is a successful music artist. His family made a deal with the devil, in a sense, except this “devil” is straight up PSYCHO!I am so flustered; I don’t even know where to begin. This is not my typical read. I have read some dark stories in the past, but none as extreme as this. There was quite a bit of action, and the story itself was original, but the writing seemed to have a hard time flowing.The mother/son dynamic was incredibly inappropriate. Although it was not in great detail, it was enough to make me uncomfortable. I just didn’t understand the situation, and had a hard time figuring out why it was even a part of the story, much less, “okay” for them to casually hook up.I thought Song was a main character in the storyline, but as the book progressed, it was as though she was just a passerby to add more pages. We never even found out what happened after her life changing events, or how she got to stardom. When the story ended, I felt disappointed by the lack of closure in this area.I had a hard time with how the magic/voodoo (whatever it was) was just sprung on you. The first 60% of the book was your typical story about a dysfunctional guy who meets a girl he really likes. All of a sudden, out of left field, the story is SOOOO not what you thought it was. It was refreshing in a way, but it really could have been two separate stories.While I did find some closure for Richard, the ending was very abrupt. I may not have liked the book because it was too much out of my comfort zone, but I can see how people may enjoy the roller-coaster effect it had on me. This is one ride I don’t want to take again. 3 fangs for being able to evoke such emotion from me.
