I had thought this would be a thriller, but it appeared to be a slightly paranormal romance.
I liked the description of the terrible situation of her family when Emily was a small child.
I liked the scene in which the school bully teases Emily because she sees auras.
I liked the description of the auras.
I liked the feeling of togetherness when she plays with the band.
I certainly liked the description of the bus in which the band travels (I always wanted to know).

In the end, I found too much sugar. That is a pity.
Nonetheless, certainly a book to read.… (más)

Content Note: domestic violence, racism

Plot:
Emily has two gifts that help her get through the memories of her traumatic childhood: she can see people’s auras and she can sing. When her crush Matt (a cool blue) actually asks her to be in his band, Emily can’t believe it. Supported by her best friend Rachel (an energetic, volatile red), Emily gives it a try and is suprised how well she fits in with the other band members Patrick (a caring purple), Zeb (a creative green) and Matt (an unreliable orange). Together, they create something good and their success pushes Emily in directions she didn’t expect. She has to figure out if they are directions she actually likes.

Rock Angel is not the best written novel, but it’s a fine, quick read. Despite some nice characters, there were a couple of things I did struggle with, though – especially the racism.
