Review: Kind of wished I'd read Satin and Steel first...
Rating: 4 out of 5

I downloaded this for free on Amazon and rated it 4 stars, because it was an enjoyable story. The writing is good. I felt the characters and sympathized with their plights.There wasn't a lot of passion, so I wouldn't reread it, but it was definitely worth reading. Dax has a heartbreaking story.Things that I found odd: I love the Sons of Anarchy, but the similarities almost seemed too close to home. Jax/Dax, Tara/Trish, she wants to be a doctor....This seems like fanfiction, and Kurt Sutter might have a problem with that. However, there was enough originality that it kept me interested.Dax also seemed too self-aware for a 17-18 year old. Things he would say to Trish or his own internal musings came off kind of too grown up or something like a psychologist would say. He should've been angrier, more of a loose cannon. And a whole lot meaner to Trish after what she did. Even if you can understand where she's coming from, a normal teen boy wouldn't have laid his heart on his sleeve like he did for her outside the bar.I want to read more, but now that I know Trish isn't in Satin and Steel, I have no interest in seeing him pursue someone that's not her. If she's in the second book, I'll read that.
