This is my review for Fully Automatic by Jade Jamison for Eskimo Princess Book Blog.Fully Automatic follows Bradley Payne, one of the founding members of a metal band called Fully Automatic. You first meet Brad in Jade's book Bullet. Brad is destined to be a rocker. He lives and breathes for his band. He has such a great head on his shoulders. He works, saves money, and puts all of his efforts into his band. He makes sure that the band has everything that they need. Making the band successful is his main goal in life. His bandmates, Ethan, Zane, and Nick are like brothers to him; Ethan more so than the other guys. One weekend Ethan comes home from college with a beautiful woman in tow. Valerie loves heavy metal just as much as the boys do. She even has a hidden talent for writing songs. Brad can tell that Valerie is special from the very beginning, but he also knows that she has eyes for Ethan, so he tells her he will wait for her. Will he have to wait for long? Will Ethan allow Brad to act on his feeling for Valerie? What will happen when Val joins the band as their lead singer?Fully Automatic was written totally from Brad's POV. I believe Jade done a good job showing us the different sides of Brad that we hadn't seen before. I felt for Brad. Everything that he went through only made you love him more. He really was a great guy. His secret craving for the sweet girls was admirable! He got a little side tracked with the hooker stripper and Karen, but for the most part he never strayed far from Val. They writing are very descriptive. We even get scenes from Bullet written from Brad's POV, giving us an even deeper understanding of Bullet.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good hearted, yet badass, rocker. If you love heavy metal bands giving it all they got, this book is for you.
