I picked this book up for two reasons. First, the cover is amazing. Second, how can you go wrong with a story about rockstars? Apparently it’s very easy. I really wanted to love this book. Nate and Alec are both well written characters with some serious issues. Once the story started getting serious it got better. The problems with the story line are what threw me off. These boys are described as being really famous. In my mind the descriptions of their fame put them on a level that equates with...

Ok...I've just started my Seaside series marathon (after reading Capture ) so basically I have a week or so to finish al the books in this series.I know but I just had to put it out there...Anyway...I just remembered why I don't often read YA!!!The characters are so immature I just what to straggle them and to top it off I broke one of my cardinal rules and went for a novel with a love triangle...and with brothers non the less!!!Overall I enjoyed the book so I'm moving on to the next one...hopef...

i absolutely loved this book, it had such a good storyline and wasn't boring and predictable.Nat was a great character, not annoying at all and really funny and forgiving, i enjoyed her little smartarse comments and the way she didnt take any shit from the boys!Alec was a little bipolar but i understood why he was like that, he had so many sides to him (all of which i loved) he could be cheeky one minute and then so serious and moody the next, but that didnt make me hate him at all, i loved how

I liked this one. Nat is a great character, funny, sarcastic, self deprecating. Dimitri and Alec are hot and tortured, with secrets and issues galore. They both love the same girl (Nat) so all sorts of angst ensues. My only beef is that the whole thing felt more than a little rushed. I cannot believe that Im actually ASKING for a love triangle to be more drawn out, but really, it felt like insta-love all around, which I really hate. When Nat broke out the "L" word at like week 1.5 I just wanted

This book (and its follow up Pull) came highly recommended by a close friend of mine. So when I got the chance to read and review them both in exchange for my honest opinion, I jumped on the chance.However, I found it very hard to get into this book - at least in the beginning. Right off the bat, the brothers reminded me of Damon and Stefan Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries, something I could easily overlook. The problem for me was the way the text messages were formatted. I understand that its...

REVIEW TO FOLLOW.

2.5 StarsI loved the spin off series of Seaside and in it I adored Demetri and Alec, so I was excited to go back and read their stories. But sadly this one didn't really do it for me and I found myself annoyed at the drama that surrounded them. Especially adding in some immaturity at times. I'll still love them when I do re-reads of the spin-off books but I don't think I'll continue on with the rest of the Seaside books.

Before starting this review, I will disclaimer that I actually did want to read Tear before picking it up. I thought it looked like a fun possibility. It was not my intention to read this book and go on a ranting spree. Should I have quit sooner? Probably. But it was like being on a runaway train once I got started and I wanted to know where I was headed!If I had a running list of every single thing that I would not want to read in a romance book, I would have been able to check every single ite...

I really really liked it! I mean, once it got serious, at first I thought it was just the same as all mindless YA without much substance out there. But things got sort of heavy somewhere in the middle, and I have to say I was surprised.I can't even lie, I liked both brothers. Ok, I'm lying. I actually liked Demetri more even if I hated his name. He had so much potential and I liked him with Nat.I liked Alec, too, but not as much on his own as I liked him with Nat.I was heartbroken at their story...

NOW FREE! - > AMAZON4 StarsTear is not a typical book I pick up. It has a love triangle between two brothers, oh and there is slight cheating, that pretty much screams a no for me. HOWEVER, I’ve been in this Rachel Van Dyken high, I just couldn’t help myself.Demetri and Alex are not only brothers, but famous rock stars. Its Nat’s senior year of high school and her world is turned upside when Demetri and Alex walk into her school. Demetri is a major man-whore, who loves attention and Alex is the

**DNF**Okay, I've never tried nor wanted to write a review but this book just irritated me so much I feel like I must scorn it with all my might.Normally, I'd finish a book no matter how dumb or unrealistic. What can I say, I'm a sucker for YA anything. However with this book, I dropped it before I could finish Chapter 3. I'll get to why in a bit, but let's start from the beginning. Almost immediately in Chapter 1, plain ol' Natalee catches the attention of not one, but TWO, super famous super h...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/When I finished this book, the first thought that came to my head was . . . Sadly, Tear was about the most vapid waste of time I’ve spent in recent memory. HOWEVER, with that being said let me tell you this cost zero dollars and is so far the only Rachel Van Dyken I haven’t enjoyed. Okay, “enjoyed” might be a bit of an understatement. I had dabbled unsuccessfully in NA a bit before stumbling across The Consequence of Loving Colton....

I live in Oregon, so it was exciting to see a book based in Seaside, a place I have visited every single summer every single year almost my whole life. Even though I loved hearing some of the quirks of Seaside, Oregon mentioned...I had a tough time staying focused on the story. It was like watching a ping pong match watching her struggle between Alec and Demetri. and I found both boys to be very cute but I found Nat to be annoying. She never seemed happy with her lot in life - Seaside wasn't goo...

I hate love triangle! Especially "real" love triangle. When the girl is kissing one boy but thinks about the other and vice versa. She can't decide even if her heart is beating faster for one of them.And they used her! He toyed with her for petty revenge. And he cheated on her but she took him back "I'm sorry baby, I was drunk, she had blond hair and I thought it was you"... lamest excuse ever! So if you're drunk, you can do everything you want and not be hold accountable for what you did??? Ope...

Tear definitely almost had me shedding some in the beginning of this book. I thought I had made a horrible mistake by getting this book. It started off annoyingly with Nat complaining about how boring everything was from her looks, to her hometown, to her parents and just her life in general. Soon enough it started picking up and I didn’t feel annoyed as much. Then later I wasn’t annoyed but only tiny bit. Nat grew on me a bit and she didn’t end up being as annoying as she had first started

I liked seeing Alec and Demetri’s arrival to Seaside. This was good enough, but not nearly as good as the books in the Seaside Pictures series. There needed a little more elaboration on Demetri’s issues (maybe that will happen in the next book) and their backstory. Hard to explain without getting into too much detail. Will definitely read the next one though.

OK, I just finished reading this book. It was a very quick read, finished in under 4 hrs. I got really sucked in form the beginning. The story is quite fun, and the characters are unique. I definitely liked the contrast between the brothers Alec and Demetri. As I read the book I was pulled into the confusion that Nat carried with her about the boys. They definitely had the secrets and odd hints to some sordid past seeping through them. However, while reading, I did feel that some of the story li...

2016 Re-Read Update: Wow, can't believe it's been so long since I've read this! When I opened it on my kindle it was like sitting down with friends you haven't seen for awhile, catching up on everything that's going on. I fell in love with the twisted and broken Demetri the first time I read this book in March 2013, and can now see that he was never good for Nat. Alec has his faults, and he owned up to them the best he could, but he belonged to Nat from the get go. While Nat and Demetri did have...
