Invisible in the night, a drone swooped down from its bird’s-eye view. A mini-helicopter stalked the right-side rear of the vehicle 10 feet above its roof. Alone on the road, a pitch-black van, with a raven colored drone hovering above it, blended uniformly between the stars. The only object visible was the stadium lights. The light formed a crescent cutting into the field near the road in the distance. The isolated passenger hunkered down in the front, left side seat of a squarish, tall van. The vehicle was never intended to be driven in U.S.. The tense passenger chanted silently to himself. No, no, no, no no… He repeated the word with more and more emphasis the closer the black van came to the floodlights. His fists got tighter and tighter. He vicariously pulled away from the lights, and leaned into the door, shoving himself into the seat’s crevice.

I won this book in a giveaway. I have not read numbers 1 or 2 in this series, so I can understand if there are a few references to characters, background, past situations etc that I don't fully get. That being said, I have no idea what I just read. I know there were harps and seances. I know people went to Ireland. I know there was a band, another 3 bands, a publicist, and some writers. I know it was abrupt and choppy and just didn't flow or make sense to me.
Ok, I really tried...... I read the reviews and saw that I was not alone in not really getting it. I wish that I could have but only made it about halfway through. I figured that since I tried to read it 5 or 6 times that would certainly help with this review. However, I was wrong. I think that like another reader wrote, it must be a generational thing. I could not follow along and the story just did not make sense to me. If I decide to give it another try I will edit my review. I did not really read the description of the book before I entered the giveaway for it. Yes, yes, yes, I need to say that I won this ebook from the author and goodreads so that I could give this book my honest review.
Recaps the characters in the series and the things we do not know about them. An interesting introspect that kept you interested if you a fan of the series.
I won this in a Goodreads giveaway a long time ago. I thought it was disjointed and weird and sad. I'm sorry to say I didn't like it and wouldn't recommend it.
I won this book in a Good reads giveaway. The book was well written, but I found it a little hard to follow along. I believe it was the 3rd book in a series and if I had read the first two books I would have enjoyed the book a lot more.
A fascinating behind the scenes story where all the loose ends finally meet. Even those who lead the life of fame still have real life problems that need fixing.
