Midnight Stage by Sheridan Anne
4.0

Read TRIGGER WARNINGS! I went in blind, and this book was so hard to get through at times. This book was definitely DARK compared to others I’ve read by her.

I hated how Rae closed herself off from the band, and didn’t even go see them once while they were touring before her brother died. I know she was dealing with her own trauma and pain but it didn’t make sense to me how she was basically a member of the band and then ghosted until it was too late, and her brother was gone. Even if she wanted to avoid Ezra, how could she not go at least visit her brother who is her favorite person in the world at some point? That really bothered me. She went through SO MUCH loss and abuse throughout the book. It was like she was an over abused punching bag in a gym. Like I said before it was very hard to keep reading at times, but the story sucks you in and you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.

She definitely knows how to write a brother’s best friend book! This one takes you through all of the emotions, and leaves you with a very good HEA.
