I really liked this latest installment of the RC series by Kristen Ashley. Ally and Ren had a lot of issues to work through and both were super stubborn, but the bit of angst and drama was worth it. :D I will miss the Rock Chicks as this was the last one, but I will of course come back to re-read it again and again. Rock on, sistahs!

Ally and Ren
Not quite sure what I was expecting from this but I know it was much better than that. Loved Ally and Ren.

You can read more of my reviews at my blog The Book Chick.
I have been waiting and looking forward to Allys story through out the whole series. This is the eight book and since she has been a big part of the Rock Chick buildup and that her character have had pretty big parts in the earlier books, I thought I knew her pretty well. I was however pleased to learn that there was more to her than I first thought. She is probably the deepest character in the whole series. You get to know her on a completely other lever since you get to follow her and her action/reaction to the other Rock Chicks Sh*t going down.
The book is build a little different than the others. Here, Ren is already in her life and Ally is not in that kind of trouble as the other Rock Chicks have been in there own books. The plus with this is that the whole relationship buildup and fights, is pretty short, done and over with. Then certainly gets old after seven books so I was pleased. When the story really starts (after highlights of the last 13 months) it is more steady, calm but not in any other way less hot than what you are used to in the other books. The story is also a little more personal than what I would expect and it was nice. Refreshing. But in no other way bad.
The biggest problem I have is that is is a little to slow. There is to many things going on, but no one is really deep or action filled. I missed the suspense. I missed the nail biting, sitting on the edge, shaking my knees feeling that I was expected. I can certainly understand why it took KA 5 years to resume the Rock Chick series, since this was like an ending. It was done and the action is over with. No more hot bunch and no more Denver kickass. Since KA has a lot of other books and the few I have read, I have loved I do not see that as bad thing. But now, after this one I do understand why she never tried to continue it, until earlier this year.
I fair warning, this book did produce a lot of tears from me. Good tears, but still tears and there was a lot of different feelings in a lot of different levels. Just so you know. ;)

I finally finished it and I love Kristen Ashley and her books so so much, you don't even wanna know. And I love Ally Nightingale and Ren Zano both as a couple and as separate persons.
BUT
I love their relationship (Sadie and Hector are my favourite couple from Rock Chick Series, Jules and Vance are close 2nd and Stella and Mace are 3rd, but their relationships weren't "as goals as" Ally and Ren's. Seriously, can I get a Ren?), I love that KA mentioned Chace Keaton and Faye Goodknight from [book:Breathe|15742039] and even Hawk from [book:Mystery Man|12299419], I love that she mentioned her own books in the last book of her series. Mind-blowing
It was the perfect conclusion to one of my favourite series ever and I wouldn't take it any other way.
5/5 stars
