I don't even know how to begin with this one. Hard Rock Remix has potential but I had a hard time connecting to the story. It was too slow pace, making hard for me to stay focused on it. I couldn't read more than a chapter a day.The main characters:Anna/Aylen: I feel kinda bad saying this but I couldn't find myself to care or like her at all. I found her to be too bitchy and selfish. You see, she had a hard life but that alone wasn't enough to make me feel compassionate towards her. Never once she thought about saving her others sisters/friends/family of The Church or denounce their horribles acts to the police. She was out, she could stop the abuse and save other girls lives, but no, she just didn't care. Maybe it's my OLS (Old Lady Syndrome) talking here, but that was a huge turned off for me.Carter: I had an unbelievable hard time picturing him as a Aylen's love interested. The way he was described ,I could only imagine him being the gay best friend that every girl wants to have. So, to say Carter and Aylen didn't have any chemistry and their relationship seemed forced is a HUGE understatement.Kent and Rebecca: Whatever happened to them? I thought they were in love but in Hard Rock Remix the author didn't give us any pick of their "happy ending" .But the thing that I had most difficult time picturing/ imagining/processing it was The Church. Maybe because where I'm from it's not heard of something like that. So, it was hard for me to believe it. The author should have develop that aspect better. I never quite understood how The Church had such power and resources in the "real world". And I would've liked to know whatever happened to them. The ending seemed too rushed and until that point nothing had stopped them, so what made Aylen think that they would stop now?Having said all that, Hard Rock Remix is a companion novel to The Lonely Kings Series that is full of potential but unfortunately didn't work for me but it might work for someone else.
