After reading books about Nik, Emmie, and Jesse, we're treated to Drake's story. Through the earlier books, we learn a bit of Drake's backstory: growing up in the trailer park, playing in a band (Demon's Wings) with his brother and two friends, and protecting their little neighbour Emmie from her mom's shitty lifestyle. There are glimpses of trouble in Drake's childhood, leading him to numb himself with his drug of choice, Jack Daniels.So, in this book, we learn all about the life-altering crap that has affected Drake and his younger brother, Shane. And, boy, does it suck. At the same time, Drake falls for Lana, the much younger sister of Jesse's love (book 2). She's young, gorgeous, and driven to succeed.There's great tension because of the age difference, the rocker lifestyle, Drake's personal demons, and the relationships with the other members of the band and their significant others. But, the initial, immediate attraction and comfort remains between Drake and Lana.This series is amazing. It's less about backstage antics, than it is about the people and what makes them tick. This book is really, REALLY good! It's hot and disturbing and gut-wrenching. Browning's a great writer, who can spin a story without compromising on the writing. I can't wait to read Shane's story next.
