So I'm going to be totally upfront about Lyric, I HAVE NOT the lead up novel Redemption, and I think that reduced my enjoyment of Lyric a little, mainly because I knew very little of the backstory, and even though the author Molly McAdams does go over some of it, it's not as detailed as I would like.

Now on to the characters; Libby, daughter of a secret mafia family, reckless, wild and totally in love with Maxon. Maxon; rock star, loyal, and totally in love with Libby. Obviously, this story is smoking hot, but EVERY time Libby's Mom is there, I want to smack her!

But anyway, Lyric is a story about fighting for freedom! From everything that hurts you and even your family. But I will warn you, you need a lot of tissues for this book! Heck, you might as well invest in Kleenex!

Even though I struggled in parts this book managed to get under my skin and into my heart! It will be one I have to read again, starting with Redemption this time.

I give Lyric 4 stars. ( )
