As Dust Dances by Samantha Young
4.0
4 stars.
So it's been a while since I have read Samantha Young's book. The last time I do that, I've read two books I think of her On Dublin Street series (not sure about the names of the series).
While the book is okay, I found myself hating the side character Micah. He was so annoying with his actions and I think he hurt them both. At the end of the book we get forgiveness for both of them but to me, his actions were too childish and toxic for their friendship.
And even though he has done some terrible things, he apologizes and the heroine of course easily forgives him. I was so pissed at her. There is just so much drama at one time, it gets tiring. It really bothers me that she's the one that does most of the apologizing to Micah while he's guilty too.
The heroine is at times so dumb. She's in a relationship with the hero and she almost screws that up too. She expects she will not have to talk about her past after basically disappearing from the world/society for two years. It's naive especially since she's a teenage rock star. I mean I agree with her that she doesn't owe the fans anything but at the same time you have to give them something, right? Like not the whole story but the basics should cover that. But no, she has to be dramatic and almost break up with Killian, the love of her life.
Also, a side note: this book has many mistakes mostly the words repeating itself. (I.e. hanging onto him to him...) It doesn't exactly bother me but an editor is needed.
