This book is about a woman who's obsessed with a band and enters a contest to make a mask and get backstage to meet them. She doesn't win, but her friend gets her tickets anyway and she lucks into a backstage pass. Once she gets back stage, she catches the eye of the main singer. The band is made up of energy-sucking demons, and the lead singer is obsessed with her particular kind of energy.

So, it's not bad. It reads kind of like fanfiction. The monster-rockstar concept was really cool, I liked that a lot. But the mask thing is a pointless plot line (literally nothing would have been different about the story if that whole part was left out). I didn't really connect with any of the characters (except the best friend side character a little) and when they finally did have sex, it was almost the end of the book and I didn't really care. I'd call it a slow burn, but it was more like pointless staving off the inevitable for the drama--except the drama was barely a conflict.

For the trigger warnings in the beginning, I was expecting a lot more.

Woah! What a damn good way to start 2023!! Easily 5 stars ! I was sucked in from page one! These characters are chefs kiss !! Can't wait to read more from R.k!!!
