Metallic Dreams by Mark Rice
5.0
I must admit that I have never read anything like Metallic Dreams before and it completely took me by surprise. I bought the book after listening to the Melissa Craig & Charity Parkerson podcast where Mark was a guest star. I thought that if the girls were impressed with him and his writing, then I had to read it.
The first surprise was how poetic I found the writing; it certainly wasn’t what I expected of a book full of heavy metal. It sucked me in and forced me to keep reading.
The second surprise was how Spark and the Blood brothers wormed their way into my heart and made me care how they’d end up. They are a bunch of depraved and violent Scottish heavy metal dudes that’ll make you laugh till your stomached hurts one minute and teary eyed on their behalf the next, while reminding you of your love of heavy metal.
You follow the life’s of Spark MacDubh and the Blood Brothers from childhood into adulthood where they struggle to re connect in their search for heavy metal fame. On the way they encounter demons and dead rock legends in a mass of blood and violence, depravity, lost dreams, life, death, love and heavy metal.
I loved the book from the beginning to the end.
