Reading Write Now: Get Bent (Hard Rock Roots-Book 2) by CM Stunich

Get Bent picks up pretty much as soon as Real Ugly finishes off. The tour continues for the guys, but hell, how do they go on without Naomi… and Hayden (Amatory Riot’s lead singer who is MIA)?

“Naomi Knox is missing.

I don't even fucking know whether she's dead or alive.

What I do know is that she's the air I need to breathe.

She's my redemption, an all consuming fire that burns in my blood.

And I'll do anything to find her. Anything. Even if it means the end for me.

& & &

Turner Campbell is searching.

But he has no fucking clue what it is he's searching for.

There's darkness all around and enough secrets to choke.

There are angels, and there are devils. It's impossible to tell them apart.

Light needs to be shone on the truth, but there's no one left to hold the torch. The line between life and death is blurred, and the players are all thoroughly entrenched in the game. The question is: am I still one of them?”

Review

Get Bent tells the story of Turner Campbell understanding his love for Naomi Knox, and his need to have her in his life. He tries to uncover the mystery of what happened to her, and in order to do this, he needs a clear head. So the drug fucked man whoring rock star starts sobering up, and tries to make himself worthy of Naomi’s love.

Get Bent follows the trials and tribulations of solving the mysteries surrounding Naomi, all the while keeping her spirit alive, and the tour rocking! Turner despises secrets, but unfortunately he becomes embroiled in many in this story. He will do anything to prove himself. Naomi eventually returns but her return is shrouded in secrecy, of the life and death kind.

If you loved Real Ugly, Get Bent is a must read. It takes on you a journey of self discovery, love, and the crazy shit that people do – it also reminds us that our actions have consequences and will usually end up biting us in the arse when we least expect it, no matter how long its been!

I can’t go into details in this review, because spoilers would be bad bad bad… but lets just say, this has a nice interim ending, its not the same cliff hanger experience as Real Ugly, but hell there are still so many questions hanging out there to be answered…..

Book 3 is coming, that’s what CM Stunich tells us – well, all I can say is it better fucking hurry up – because I seriously need to know what, why and how…….to so many things!

Oh and I really want to see Naomi and Turner with their true HEA. As unlikeable as these characters are, they are just as loveable in their own flawed and perfect for each other way!
