Review: Beautiful & Heart-Breaking
Rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed the second instalment of this series. Aurora and Trey are sweet characters and I like reading about their lives. They are great together and their love is pure and beautiful. What they go through in this book makes me like them even more as they face dangerous - life threatening situations, beautiful situations & heart-breaking situations needing only each other and their love to get through it, so sweet. There isn't really a character I don't like in this (apart from the obvious) they all seem genuine nice people, Trey's band especially. In the first book one of my complaints was that there seemed to be a couple of threats set up but not acted upon. . . . . well, now I get why that happened because it set up the main storyline for this and blended both books together and I enjoyed seeing that plotline come to fruition. I enjoy the combining of some of my favourite things in this book - rock stars, music, vampires & art - makes for an interesting read particularly with the bands recording, rehearsal, video making process and how hectic things are for them. I would however like to see some more vampire action, yes I liked what we get but I wanted more and not just the dangerous stuff either. The vampires are interesting characters and in my opinion underused especially Damir - there are some interesting developments in this about him & his father which seems to indicate something that Aurora and Trey could become involved in especially seen as his father seems every bit as enamoured with Aurora as the son. I'm also interested in seeing where the whole `super powerful Aurora' theory is going to go - I'm expecting big things in the long run. So, all in all - a good progression from Blood & Guitars that satisfied my need to know what happens next for them but has left me excited to see where things are going to go for them all now that the tour is about to start and other things, especially that ominous note at the end. 3.5*s
