Getting worse
The “in the box” series were fantastic, couldn’t put them down. The “out the box” series again were fantastic, but the last few books are getting pretty boring. What’s the point in having a book about a woman with powers, that doesn’t actually have any powers? These books are fast becoming just another series of detective books with very little excitement. They used to be “can’t put it down”......but now you can, quite easily.

As with all the "Girl In or Out of the Box" books, this is a keeper. Fast easy familiar reads with characters to love and grow up or down with. Recommend the whole 40+ books -- each has its own story to tell and you will never be bored. Read On!

Another welcome trip to the world of Seiena.
This book is firmly seated in the world of country music, with many a reference to singers and songs. Other modern-day mods to this in the real world to.
As the main story arc ploughs on, the villains of the week rich into view also making this a fast moving ride.
The way that the author carries the stories on twisting roads with humor, bangs and crashes never disapoints. Having finished this story, it's now a long long wait for the next...

I am writing this review after reading the subsequent books in this particular "season," - Dragon and Control - so I have the benefit of hindsight.
When I originally read Music, it took me much longer than usual to get through the book. I found it slow. So much so that I put off reading Dragon until after Control was released. I plan to go back and re-read with the benefit of knowing the outcome because once I got to the end of this multi-book arc it all made sense.
It's still a solid book and worth a read. I think I will like it better the second time around.

It's quite tricky to write a review for this book which is spoiler free, given that my reaction is inextricably linked to the underlying treatment of Sienna in this book.
Suffice to say, this is a story which kept me waiting for the punchline. Turns out, sometimes things are just exactly what they appear to be.
An intriguing change of pace. For all concerned.
Nicely done Mr Crane, nicely done.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Another one well worth the wait!
Thank you Mr. Crane for another great read, I love that you've given us the knowledge Sienna is still in control(ish) and Harry's back on the scene. Would love to be privy to some back log night talks between Sienna and Reed? Glad he knows what the crack is and that we're just waiting for Chalke et al to get what's coming to them..... mwhahaha (evil laugh) (can't.wait.go.Sienna) xxx

Interesting new scenario for Sienna and Reed! A more subdued and frustrated Sienna which makes us long for her chance at balancing the scale and being free to be herself again. The newer self she is finding will benefit her then and going forward. This is also an opportunity for Reed to recognize all that’s wrong and right in his life! I enjoyed this and am anxiously awaiting the climax to this story arc.

Worth the wait!
I am so looking forward to the next book, Dragon. I do wish we knew what Sienna is studio to, and how Harry is involved. I did like the story better when Sienna has her friends and brother along side her because the emotional aspect of the books were more interesting. Crane used the word "insensate" entirely too much though. But, this whole series is five stars!

Good story
As a massive fan of Robert J Crane I could not wait to get to grips with the latest instalment in Siennas life and it did not disappoint although it did not grab me as well as the previous instalments did. But still a.good story and I cant wait to finda out what happens to our heroine in the next books.

I can't imagine giving Crane less than five stars. He continues to surprise me, amuse me, and teach me (urban lingo, that is)! Sienna continues to evolve - she is fresh and fun. He makes me want to visit Nashville -- a theme of my reviews tonight. All of this reading is really inspiring my desire to travel!

Best series ever
Another fantastic instalment. Witty, funny and some kick ass on the side. Really can’t get enough of Sienna, she’s so relatable and normal in a super heroine type of way. Brilliant read and really looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in the future.

A good read
I do love the Sienna series but she really needs too use her power and gain some too. She's started too feel just like a typical human instead of the world's best and most dangerous super hero
Still a good read though and I look forward to the next one coming out.

Book #25 from Out of the Box and this book are leading up to some changes for Sienna, which I am finding quite exciting. Loved this book because it put Sienna in a completely new setting. She was loved and respected by her co-workers, and it made her begin thinking about her future plans.

Sienna goes to Nashville after Brance's singing voice turns killer. Meanwhile, Harry sends Reed to Murfreesboro to help with a labor dispute. It's an interesting read, but there is a lot of unneeded content that made the book a bit boring.

Well written
I've read all 36 so far, this one took me months to plough through and the whole time guy Friday's song, from a previous book, kept running through my head which was a major distraction. Looking forward to Dragon

Good to know that Sienna and Harry have a plan in place to let her live her life again. Liked the leaders of Tennessee and how they treated Sienna with kindness and respect.

Great.
Glad to see that Sienna Nealon had a seemingly easy adventure this time around. Only six more words required to fill the void.

Country Music
Another great read. New friends, lots of action, and country music. Can be any better than that. Oh....yes of course, a surprise with Reed.

This series always keeps me guessing how it is going to go. Just when I think how it might go it switches direction. Keeps me guessing

Tiring, tedious and dull. A little too much back and forth, as well as hitting us over the head with the obvious plots.
