 3.5 Even though I freaking love Maki, something was feeling off for me 

 Choso - my love!!!
And finally Yuji + Yuta scenes 

 "I'M YOU"

Damn.. So many changes we experienced. And so soo much trauma! My lovable pookies are either dead, near death or barely surviving. It's rough ngl 

 Like... The action scenes are so intense now. Death is everywhere. Mahito.. You peace of utter trash 

 "Good for you" 

 Because of JJK, I will. Soon have gray hair man. My poor soul 

 *I'm deceased 
medium-paced

 “I'm the only creep in a mask you're allowed to fall for.”

“Break, beautiful,” I whisper. “Don’t be afraid of me. I’ll pick up all your pieces.”

Madness is an adult, rockstar dark romance where you will experience palpable chemistry, Halloween vibes, trauma time, music euphoria and love in all forms. I've been a fan of Jack for a while now and at some point, I will read her backlog. She has this wonderful talent to easily immerse readers into her fantasy or non-fantasy stories, where you will get swept away in a world of well written characters and interesting plot. And you can always count on Jack to deliver spice and amazing mid-size FMC's portrayal!

Maddox is such a lovable MC. Contrary to my initial assumptions of him as a typical rebellious rockstar, he proved to be a genuine romantic at heart. His affection for Andi was force to be reckoned with and it captivated me completely. He has been obsessed with her since he was 13! And same could be said about Andi. I just wanted to hug them both. The dynamic between them was electrifying! They both were each others crush when they were younger, but they didn't act on their feelings.. And now, after couple of years, they finally act on them. Sneaking around was thrilling, but they deserve more. What would Reed say (Andi's brother and Mads bandmate), hm? Pick up the book and find out!

What to expect:
* emo rock band
* brother's best friend
* childhood crush
* masked bassist MC
* mid-size photographer FMC
* reverse age-gap (5y)
* trauma bonding
* 'who did this to you'?
* 'you can take it'
* 'necklaces'
* love for tattoos
