Blurring the Lines & Extras (The Blind Rebels Series) by Amy Kaybach – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Blurring the Lines & Extras by Amy Kaybach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Blurring the Lines is a prequel to the Blind Rebels series, with some extra content such as scenes from the later books from different perspectives. I haven’t read the Blind Rebels series yet and found that Blurring the Lines itself is perfectly enjoyable to read on its own (and to get a taste of the style and characters before committing to the series) but the extras make less sense out of context and could be a bit spoilery. So I’d recommend either reading Blind Rebels first or reading Blurring the Lines followed by Blind Rebels, then coming back to the extras later.
Blurring the Lines is a story of the rock & roll lifestyle taken to the extremes. Multiple characters seem to be on a self-destructive trajectory and with changing perspectives in the narrative we don’t totally know what’s going on in their heads. I’m keen now to read more of the series to learn how the characters cope in the aftermath of this story.
I particularly like Sammy, who is really doing his best to keep everyone as ok as they can be. I hope we learn more about him in the other books!
This book gets four stars from me. I’d recommend it to readers who like dark, emotional stories and are interested in the music industry.
