Hot Wax
by M.L. Rio
This book has a compelling concept and a well executed multiple time line story that follows Suzanne. We see her life as the child of an up and coming rockstar and then as an adult. The details of life on the road and her perspective as a documentarian through her camera were aptly done. The prose is strong and the descriptive imagery beautiful.
Saying all that, this book didn’t ever really grab me. I found it hard to get into and I kept waiting for a momentous reveal or twist that didn’t really come. I really liked the characters of Simon and Phoebe, Gil and Gracie but felt that the Rob storyline was unnecessary, predictable and didn’t add anything to the story except some shoehorned sense of peril.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
