Rhythm: An Even After Death Saga: Book 1

Rate this book
This is one concert you don't want to miss!

My name is Hayley Blackstone, and my life is riddled in nightmares no one would dream of living through. My memories travel back to all the spirits who touched me. They molded me into the first-born hybrid ghost. I'm still human, but I have the strongest supernatural abilities known to mankind. Legend has it, there is only one other Mist who walks this earth like me, I just never imagined I'd fall madly in love with him.

Bonded by the same touch that changed us before birth, the rhythm between our undying hearts composed a magnificent symphony. Until our greatest nightmare came to life and shattered our perfect world.

Rhythm is a Paranormal Rock Star Romance that follows the life of Hayley, a Hollywood heiress who dreams of exploiting the media, and Ashton, a world famous lead singer who is getting ready to kick off world tour with his band. With one heart-wrenching text their worlds collide, sending them into a romance that exposes one hidden secret they share as complete strangers--their both dead.

Rhythm is the first book in An Even After Death Saga and is also a sequel-off series from the original Heartthrob Saga. This series can be read by itself! However, you might find great pleasure in going back and discovering where it all began.

I absolutely LOVE a rockstar romance and this book was done with the perfect combination of that intense romance and traces of past heartbreak.

Hayley is a whole vibe with such boldness that I love in an FMC. Her sassy personality is the perfect compliment to Ashton’s. This spin off to Estalyn’s Heartthrob Saga is the perfect taste in the world we left behind. I love that we are able to see the beginning of Hayley’s story but also get to dive a little deeper into Skylar and Jason’s world.

As always, Estalyn takes me on a rollercoaster of emotions! I want to hang out with the band! I can’t wait for the next book.

My heart is like a radio playing my new favorite love song!

Rhythm is by far one of the best rock star romance books I have ever read. This book carries so much weight with heartbreak and unexpectedly finding love in the way most of us would die for. Not only does Rhythm explore the beginning of Hayley’s story but it also gives a lot of insight back into the world of Skylar, Jason, and Dave from The Heartthrob Saga.

I don’t believe I have ever stepped foot onto a tour bus before with four amazing Aussies and had the time of my life reading where this all begins. Not only did I learn some Australian slang, but as usual Estalyn whipped her magic wand and plunged us into a new realm through the power of tattoos!

I CANNOT wait for the next book to learn more, have Ashton sizzle my heart, laugh with the rest of the band, and want to gauge a few characters eyes out. Opportunity has never been so sweet which left me flipping pages. Amazing job Estalyn, another automatic 5 star read for me!

Rhythm, the first book in Estayn’s newest series, An Ever After Death Saga, is absolutely fantastic! I was even more excited to still see our original characters from the first series (Heartthrob Saga) with Skylar, Jason, and Dave. This new story picks up with Hayley Blackstone, ready to take on the world and love.

As a paranormal rock star romance, I was so happy with how Estalyn wrote this story. From beginning to end, we’re introduced to new characters that each have their own personalities and backgrounds. When Hayley and Ashton interact, it’s my favorite part to see the two balance each other out. Hayley and Ashton’s relationship grows and we see the paranormal side and rockstar life come together.

Overall, this was a quick paced story for me and I devoured every chapter and every character. I cannot wait for the next book and seeing more of Hayley.

If you have not read any book by Estalyn you need to! Rhythm is the first book in the Even After Death Saga. It is a spin off series of the Heartthrob Saga. You should pick up Heartthrob before reading this series.

I am so happy seeing Sky, Jason, and Dave again! But very excited to see how Hayleys story is going to be like. Hayley is just a spitfire of a character and I love it!! I believer Ashton is going to be wonderful for Hayley. I can't wait for more of this story to unfold! This rockstar and ghost combo was great! Even though this books is over 500 pages it did not feel that way! As much as i want to gush about this book i am going to keep it to myself so i don't spoil anything. JUST GO READ IT!

Estalyn never disappoints and I will ALWAYS get a book by her. She will always be one of my go to authors! I highly recommend checking her books out!

Let me start by saying Estalyn has done it again. Created another book that makes you feel everything. Rhythm is the first book in the Even After Death Saga. It is a spin off series of the Heartthrob Saga. If you haven't read that series I recommend you do. It isn't necessary to read this book but some of the characters from that series cross over into this one. With that being said let me tell you I loved this book. It takes you on a journey you won't forget. I literally took 2 days to read the last chapter because I didn't want the book to end. I cannot wait for the next one. Thank you Estalyn for such a great read!

Let me start by saying I honestly didn’t know what to expect with Estalyn’s new series, but I was ready for it. This book is so fast paced and you are drawn to the characters quickly. I have enjoyed every minute reading this book. Hayley is just a spitfire of a character and I love her. I love her quick wit and just her as a whole. Ashton is just the perfect balance for Hayley. This book was a ride and I can’t wait to read more and see how the story unfolds. I just know that I am going to love this series as much as The Heartthrob series. Thank you Estalyn for letting us start touring with the band.

I have no words….this book was absolutely amazing! I felt the emotions Hayley did when she got the text from Eli breaking up with her. Then Ashton coming in and saving the day, and mending a broken heart. While I’m mad about how Eli went about breaking up with Hayley, I can’t hold a grudge too much because it wasn’t all him. It was Kyle and Richard being back on their shenanigans and causing drama. But the love story between Ashton and Hayley *swoon* it’s so beautiful. This story picks up perfectly where the Heartthrob Saga ended. I can’t wait to read more about Hayley and Ashton, and see what happens to Lexi and Eli. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance.

Fantastic Spinoff of Heartthrob Series!

Estalyn has done it again! Rhythm is the first book of the new series Even After Death Saga which continues the lives of Sky and Jason by introducing their daughter Hayley. A rocker with edge, a new level of paranormal abilities and romance. New characters including The Shadow of Whispers band and old paranormal nemesis threatening their very lives. Rhythm is a wonderful stand alone book, but I highly recommend reading the first series, the Heartthrob Series by Estalyn to learn all the nuances and backgrounds prior to Rhythm in order to fully appreciate every part of this adventure.

this book was amazing.

I originally found Estalyn on her hearthrob series last year and I’ve been waiting for this book to come out since I finished it! I think I love this series even more than heartthrob! I appreciate that she writes the characters as the young adults they are, sometimes you want to shake them for their choices, but you have to remember that they are late teens/early 20s and we all make bad choices. I love how the friendships and relationships progress in the series and I can’t wait to see what happens with Hayley and Ashton and what choices they make and of course what happens with the baddies.

Estalyn is such an amazing author. I don’t want to spoil anything for the book, so I will just say that you absolutely, 100% should read this book. While I think that she absolutely fills you in on the previous “Heartthrob” series in this book, you should read that series first. In my opinion. I also happen to think that is a great series as well!

Estalyn’s characters and world are just absolutely some of my favorites. I love how we see Hayley’s relationship with her family and see her overcoming situations and her relationship with Ash, I just love! I think I once again, have felt nearly every emotion, reading this book.

Loved it! Loved seeing how Hayley meet Ashton. Some of Hayley’s personality rubbed me the wrong way but she also is very loving of her family and the need to prove herself especially to her family. There are things I’m super curious about but as with the first series I’m sure it will be focused on more through this all. My mind is blown with some things also pertaining to a few people (which I won’t say due to it spoiling it) but that ending has me like ma’am um what?? lol. I can not wait for the next book to see where it goes farther :)

This is the first rockstar romance I have read and I really enjoyed it! Rhythm is the first book in the Even After Death saga. It is a sequel series to the Heartthrob Saga. It’s said that you can read this series by itself but I recommend reading the other series first. I think Estalyn did a good job of catching you up in this book but I think it would be a better reading experience to read this series second. I really liked watching the journey Hayley took. I was sad when I got to the end! She still has a lot to overcome and I can’t wait to see how her journey continues in the next books!

Absolutely adored this book! After reading the 1st 5, I was so excited to finally get this one! The way she continues the story with the kids, adding in new characters & still having the older one's, is true talent.

It's fun to see how Haley has a similar relationship that her parents had with each other. The descriptions all tie into each other too. As with Estalyn's storytelling, it keeps you on the edge of your seat! Without giving any spoilers, when a certain ghost makes an appearance, & things start coming out, it just keeps getting better. I can't wait to see where this story goes! As I said once before, if this was ever a TV series, it would definitely be my favorite go to!

This book was amazing! Sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you wondering what the heck is happening! You don't know where it is going to go but need to know now! Loved the relationship that builds throughout it is so captivating. You learn to love all the characters even though in the beginning you may not like them all! Can't not wait to see where it all goes!

Such a great book! It was nice reading Hayley’s story, we were all hooked on how Hayley would be in Estalyns last books and now she has her own book and we get to read about her life as a young adult. I love how the story went and I can’t wait to read more and see what happens in Hayley’s and Ashton’s future!

I absolutely loved this book! I love more that it followed Hayley’s life and had similarities between the first series. There are traits from the first series that traveled into this series and I love that so much. I have never read a rockstar romance book, but so glad this was my first one. I can’t wait to read the second book and see how the story continues

Wow! What a great start to Hayley’s journey! Can’t wait to see where it goes. From beginning to end Estalyn did such a wonderful job of keeping me on edge. I really enjoyed the new relationships as well as her tying back in older characters. Looking forward to book two.

Like her previous series, Estalyn jumps right in and captures the readers attention. She does a great job weaving in some of the previous characters with this new adventure. If you like paranormal romance, this is a good series for you.

Rhythm is the rockstar paranormal romance that you didn’t know you needed. Hayley is a strong badass main character with whitty banter. I loved watching the love flourish during their summer adventures.

I loved this book! I am so grateful to see how Hayley's grown and her relationship with her family has become. It is so adorable to see how Sky and Jason take care of Hayley and Damon. It also makes me so happy to see the relationship that Haley has with Dave and how similar it is to the relationship Dave and Sky have. This has been one of my favorite books I have read this year!
