Well, let me tell you....I had no idea....Rock Stars, tattoos, piercings!  Oh My!This was a rock star romance but told in a very unique and creative way.  This was a fresh story about rockers, their friends and family and life at home.  It was also about the struggles faced beyond typical fan adoration or a love triangle.  This book dealt with issues like choosing your career over a personal life or your family.  Sometimes, as I saw in My Misery Muse, this is not always an easy choice to make.Brei Betzold did a lovely job with her character development.  These characters and their stories were new and distinctive.  The focus of the story is on Devi and Seth, who have known each other since their early teens.  The story is told from their alternating POVs.  Devi is an artist, independent, strong and self-made.  She has a close knit group of friends and a very strong, very supportive older brother.  Seth, bassist for My Misery Muse, is the rock star, sex god who has given me a new view on the piercings.  I had no idea.  He is a dream and he melted my heart.  He is also one of my new erotic fantasies.  Tall, dark, and handsome and pierced for pleasure.  But he is so much more.This author did an impressive job creating these characters and separating them from stereotypes.  She took us beyond the physical image of her characters and brought us right into their lives, families and hearts.  Betzold made these characters expressive.  The story is told in alternating points of view.  The transitions between each POV were flawless and I loved the perspective it gave to the story.  I loved the insight this brought to the story and didn't feel like I was being bounced all over.  Regardless of the POV, each telling was engaging and I felt that I truly had a visual experience through words.Betzold's debut novel drew me in from the beginning.  This book gave me an uncommon experience, but just as emotional, sexy and enjoyable as I look for.  I know that this writer's abilities will only improve upon the solid job displayed in this book.  So, I look forward to the next book and more from this author.  Give it a try!!
