This book had a LOT of potential, I just hated the execution. I had so many questions that were left unanswered entirely too long, and things just didn't make sense. For instance, MC Genesis dropped out of school at 16 due to bullying. Ok, I get that. But he felt that he had to move out of his house, if he wasn't still in school. He seemed to have a great relationship with his mother, so I'm sure she'd much rather have had him living at home and getting a decent job, than out on his own at 16, working in a gay club. Not even sure how he was able to work there, underage as he was.
And then the other MC, Kerstrande, or KC as Gene called him, was so darned hot and cold. I know, it was the monster inside him, but I just couldn't really see why Genesis kept chasing after him.
Add this to some stuff that happened with Genesis and his friend Rob in high school, and Genesis comes across as a bit of a naive doormat. He's 17 at the time of this story, and at times he seems far older, causing me to forget how young he really was, but then he'd go chasing after KC again, and I'd be reminded.
Toss in the fact that Genesis isn't quite human either, the kid has signed a record contract, spends his time practicing, recording songs, doing interviews, even does a tribute show, and can't even afford to buy new shoes? Yeah, this just didn't make sense to me, in too many ways.
