Book Review: Strings (The Black Eagles Series Book 1) by Kat Green
Genre: Romantic - Mystery, Thriller, Suspense
Book: Strings (The Black Eagles Series Book 1)
Author: Kat Green
My Rating: ★★★★
Synopsis:
The rise of the Black Eagles was meteoric, from band practice in the garage to global stars almost overnight.
And Melissa Webb, the beautiful girlfriend of the front man, appeared to have it all. But when Luke Black disappears without a trace and Melissa wakes up in a hospital bed after a savage attack, her perfect world is shattered and their lives are plunged into a potentially deadly crisis.
Where is Luke, and can he be found before it is too late?
My Thoughts:
A suspenseful story mixed in with some drama and romance!
The story begins with Melissa in the hospital in what appears to be a breakdown. It doesn’t give anything away as to what happened that put her there or what happened to Luke and why he isn’t there with her. He has just disappeared without a trace. That is where the mystery begins. Of course the answer won’t come until the end of the story. However, you will read a story full of drama, love, mistakes, and anger; all mixed in with suspense and suspicion. Just when you think you figured it all out, there is a turn in events that will have you questioning what you just read.
I thought I knew who/what had caused the disappearing act and put Melissa in the hospital however I was not expecting the ending. It was a surprise to me although looking back it shouldn’t have been. I thought the author did a great job of keeping the suspense going through the whole book and not giving away the twist. The story will definitely keep you guessing and intrigued from beginning to end.
There was some terminology that I wasn’t familiar with that threw me a little however it was pretty easily to figure out what it meant. (For example, fag means cigarette and slag means slut). It keeps with where the story is based (UK) and doesn’t take anything away from your reading experience.
This is the first book I have read by Kat Green and will not be my last. I am already starting book 2 in the series. I recommend Strings to anyone that wants to read an intense thriller that will pull at your emotions and draw you in from the beginning to the end.
