I am such a fan! I will elaborate. I am such a fan of Meghan Quinn and the stories she writes; I have read two of them now and have never been disappointed. I have one more to read from another series and I can’t wait to dive in.Toxic reeled me in from the first page. Books that have sexy alpha tattooed rock stars are one of my favorite types of books. Then add in sexy tattooed female rock chicks and I am in my glory. I like when there is commonality with the characters. This is not a story where opposites attract.If you took chemistry in high school and ever did experiments you know that some components that are put together can cause an explosion, and other components are the perfect combination to get the best result and work perfectly together. The chemistry between these characters, Rook (I love that name) and Maisy, is a combination of both. It has the good and bad results.  When it works it is beautiful to watch, but when it does not it is so painful. Rook and Maisy are very intense characters. There is no doubt that these two need to be together. You can feel that they are soul mates and neither can exist without the other.I talk about Maisy and Rook in this review but I have to say that this is not just their story. There are others stories running parallel involving the other characters from the two bands: Grey, Quinn, Willow, Landon (there is quite a surprise for you with regards to Landon at the end of the book), Cruz and Kaid. Let me just say that these stories are just as emotional and enthralling and sexy as hell as what is going on with Rook and Maisy. You will get many points of view from almost this whole ensemble cast.  There is so much sexual tension in this book that I needed a cold shower 99% of the time.Toxic deals with many issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, molestation and physical abuse, and eating disorders. These issues in the book are written with realism and a delicacy that the author should be commended for. The only small peeve I had was that there was some repetition in the book. It was not much, just that a thought the character had was mentioned in an earlier chapter. I do not mind if the author felt the need to mention it again but maybe she could have changed it a little.When I got to the very last page, my heart was in my throat, it was like I was listening to a crescendo of a song and then that song was cut off abruptly. I immediately screamed that I needed more, more! Yes this book ends in a cliffhanger not just with Rook and Maisy but the entire cast. I swear this author should write for TV. Meghan really gives great Drama!I will be stalking her until part two comes out!!
