So I love me a good rocker series, which is why I picked Kylie Scott’s Stage Dive Series for my next set of books to read in my Summer of Series. I had heard such amazing things about this series, and by chapter 1 of the first book Lick, I knew that I was going to love everything about this series.
The Stage Dive Series was bursting with so much distinctive vibrancy and liveliness, some seriously amazing and authentic characters that I completely fell in love with, and stories that were completely enrapturing from the moment I started them. Once I started this series, I couldn’t stop reading, and I practically devoured all 4 books within just a few days. They completely consumed me.
I was completely pulled into the world of these books, and this author’s phenomenal writing put me right into that world, heart first with these fabulous characters.
Each of the 4 books in this series follows a different member of Stage Dive, one of the biggest rock groups around in the world of these books. I loved that I got to know each and every one of the members of this band throughout this entire series and in their individual books. The way Kylie Scott wrote and crafted these books just allows you to really connect to all of them so much, and you will love them all fiercely for the wonderfully distinctive people they are.
David, Ev, Mal, Anne, Jimmy, Lena, Ben, and Lizzy are just kind of the best. They are all extremely authentic, intense and consuming in their own unique ways, and they all come across as extremely real when you read this series. That was one of my favorite aspects in this series: getting to know so many varied and engaging characters that I just completely fell in love with. Of course they all have their flaws and they’re complicated as all get out, but that just made them all the more real to me, made them more dynamic, and it made me love them more because I felt like I really got to know the real and honest them.
The Stage Dive Series also gives you 4 different stories that just pull you more and more into the world of these books. Each couple gets their own book, thus their book has a distinctive flavor and feel to it because of the characters themselves and the story they have. I loved that so much because it gave me 4 wholly unique stories to enjoy, while weaving that vibrant thread of this series and the characters throughout each book in the best possible way. Their stories are also filled with such a phenomenal level of emotion and feeling that you get to fully experience because of Kylie Scott’s fantastic writing.
I felt each and every one of their stories whole heartedly. Their ups, their downs, highs and lows, and everything glorious thing in between. I felt their struggles and triumphs, their vulnerabilities, their stubbornness, and everything that made them who they were. I got to fully experience it all, and I pretty much just relished in that because it made these books and characters come to life.
I have to say one of my favorite aspects of this series was the big ass smile I had on my face when I was reading every single one of these books. I also burst out laughing reading them more times than I could count, and I will tell you right now that Mal is guaranteed to have you in hysterical fits of laughter in no time in each and every one of these books. That man is pretty much the best. Trust me.
Lick, Play, Lead, and Deep were each superbly balanced books with so much life, love, heat and passion, ups and downs, and glorious tension weaving their way throughout the magnificent and unforgettable pages of these books.
I loved everything about these books and their characters. This series once again reminded me why I love a good rocker book, but these books were honestly so much more than that. They were exceptionally written, captivating as hell, and had such fire and spark bursting from their pages. I loved all of the stories and characters I got to fully experience and connect with in this series, and I couldn’t get enough time with all of these phenomenal characters. They were all fabulous in their own way, and they are just one of the many aspects that makes this series the outstanding thing that it is.
The Stage Dive Series was fantastic in every way, shape, and form. All of the books within it are must reads that will have you wishing like crazy that Stage Dive was a real band that you could fall in love with because the members of that band are truly memorable in the most fantastic ways, and their lady friends are even better.
Believe me, these books are well worth a read this instant. Don’t be like me and wait forever to read and fall in love with them. Each book will just leave you in love with these characters and their world, so get to falling in love with them as soon as humanly possible. You won’t be sorry that you gave the members of Stage Dive a chance, and when you give them that chance, you’ll be blown away by what they give you.
