"Life is about taking chances. It's about taking risks, no matter what the stakes. When I die I want to be able to say that I lived life to the fullest. I want to have no regrets. Because if you play it safe your whole life, are you really living?"Mercy Amare did an amazing job continuing the story of my favorite pop princess and the hot boy next door. Faded didn't let me down. I was hooked into the lives and drama of the characters."I don't know how many more ways that I can say this, but you are mine. I'm offering forever here."Scarlett Ryan's natural instinct is to run from all her problems, but not this time. This time she is going to stand up for herself and fight for the things she wants. The only thing standing in her way is herself and her fears. Does Scarlett let all her demons destroy the family she built, the friends she made and the boy she loves?"What would Bieber do?"I liked Jaded, but I absolutely loved Faded. The characters were more relatable and the writing was amazing.I loved how Scarlett's character grew; we got to watch her go from a nave pop star to a confident woman. As if you didn't already love Stephan enough this book showed him in a different way that made you fall even more in love with him. I loved the secondary characters just as much as the main characters, and I hope we get to learn more about them as the series continues.The sexual tension and back and forth in this book drove me crazy. I also was surprised to find that this book ended with another cliffhanger. I am officially counting down the days until Hated (Rock Star #3) comes out!
