Incredible performances. Addictive series.

1- Controlled Chaos

🎸 A sweet, wise-beyond-his-years male lead …
🎥 … and watching the process of him getting friendzoned.
🎸 Tragedy.
🎥 Absolutely heartbreaking moments involving a sweet little boy.
🎸 Rockstars.
🎥 Close-knit, supportive parents & grandparents.
🎸 A husband I loved to hate.
🎥 Song lyrics—and this was impressive.
🎸 Second-chance romance.
🎥 Best friends-to-lovers.
🎸 Suspense, a bit of danger, stalking.
🎥 A very dedicated bodyguard.


This isn’t a dark read at all, but there are some dark elements depicted so if you’re triggered by things like gr*pe and domestic violence, maybe check the triggers. Personally, I really liked that the author chose to show these things, I was able to get more into it, and it makes fiction more ‘real’ for me. And the FMC was strong from the start— enjoyed that she found her limits and stood her ground early in.

One thing I thought could’ve been a bit better was David’s character development—it was good, but felt a bit rushed. The way he escalated so rapidly without any explanation didn’t seem strictly natural? But I suppose not totally implausible. Overall, still a great read.

4 stars.

The audio was absolutely perfect. 🦩


2- Silent Chaos

This was another fun one, that I even lowkey missed when I had to step away from it. The drama level is high and so is the angst and it manages to pull at my heartstrings at times.

I loved that this FMC was stronger than most seem to be depicted in this situation—she stood up for herself, multiple times.

The situation with a couple of the other band members is slowly escalating, just enough that I’ll definitely need their books too. The author also does a good job of conveying growth, at least for Braxton, and it’s plausible the way he did it in the span of one book.

Ends on a very dramatic, and satisfying note—well played.

Overall, well done. 4 stars for the book itself and 4 for the audio production.

3 - Total Chaos

*** Audible version ***

This is Declan’s book …

There’s something about this series / world that has gripped me—Ash develops characters I can’t seem to get enough of. It lacks originality, borrowing a very commonly used romance / rom-com-y plot, but still, it’s fun and I loved getting to know Declan and Kendall better. It did, of course, make it extra predictable and I had the layout of this entire book, with every little detail, pegged from chapter 1. Still a fun ride. :)

There’s plenty to love here, as usual with this author:

🎸 Both supportive parents (one side) and villain-parents (other side).
🎼 Rockstars & popstars.
🎸 Runaway bride vibes.
🎼 The Gage-situation is still escalating.
🎸 Road trip!


Overall:
3.5 stars
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️


4- Bl33ding Chaos

Finally! Gage’s book is here.
And … TALK ABOUT HEART-WRENCHING. Ouch.

First: this one has a few elements which people might find triggering, so check the warnings or the other reviews, maybe, if this could be a problem for you.

This one’s heavier than the others, and after they all built to it, I am 100% here for it. It’s not surprising, but still refreshing, if that makes sense, after a few lighter reads.

Overall, very well done.
4 stars.
