This one is a hard one to rate. I generally love Jet Mykles' books. And this one, in some context, is no different.
I loved the characters even when I wanted to kill them. Their feelings for each other were genuine enough for me to believe it. I felt like the trials they went through to get where they ended up was both heartbreaking and entertaining but at the same time frustrating. I would definitely consider this an angsty book.

For the GB Challenge recommended by Katie. 3.5 STARS
The flavor & the decadence of the music business is captured well in this novel. Little things would bother me here & there about this book like for instance, Nick's fluid sexuality. This is a true GFY book. In fact I think at some point Nick tells Marlowe he made him gay. In other GFY books I've read, there's been an effort made to show the character at least had a passing interest in men before. This one felt like Nick went from More...

Like many others I’m a huge Jet Mykles fan and anything she writes is an auto-buy for me. Add in about musicians and a Gay For You theme and I’m pretty excited to read. Reverb doesn’t quite live up to the greatness of the Heaven Sent series but it’s an absorbing, gritty read about the reality of fame and drugs. The main couple is well crafted and the story itself flies by, almost too fast, with a lot of great secondary characters that catch your interest. The only real compliant I have is that o

Before I even start, I must confess that I enjoyed Mykles’ first “band” series (Heaven) – although after the first two, they did seem to be repeating the same themes. That being said, I was excited and a bit weary before reading this one – and I had no reason to worry!

I’m used to the “pop culture” novels by Jet Mykles, actually the Heaven Sent series was probably the first yaoi style novels I read, and I like them. They are probably a must read for me, and that is the reason why I picked up Reverb as soon as it was out; and of course the cover by Laura Carboni was a nice bonus pushing me. True, Jet Mykles advised her fans that Reverb was a little more “dark” than the Heaven Sent series, this is a real sex, drugs and rock and roll themed novel, and the drugs I

I really enjoyed this one. Going into it I had already heard it wasn't much like the Heaven Sent series, but the idea was still in the back of my brain -- and it was wrong. The Heaven Sent books are sort of like what I'd expect from seijin anime about American rock stars, is what I'd say. Kind of cartoonish and overblown, and super cracky fun. Reverb was more like a character-oriented TV show on the same subject, but an honest, if not brutally so, take on the subject. I'd actually give it slight

I'm a huge Jet Mykles fan and when I saw that she had a new book out, I snapped it up as soon as I could. Like her Heaven Sent series, this book deals with the world of musicians, singers and bands. Unlike her Heaven sent series this is quite a gritty look at the reality of fame alongside a Gay For You plot.
The book begins with out hero Nick at a high point in his life. He's a guitarist who is on tour with famous singer/songwriter Marlowe. Nick is exactly where he wants to be. He' More...

I think this just might be the best Jet Mykles that I've read so far. I like the fact that she's taken something that she's done well and is successful at and really tried to make it better (gfy rockers). The subject matter, emotions, and the events in this new book are certainly taken to a new level from the popular Heaven Sent books. The world is grittier, the emotions are deeper, and she's given the story a lot more room to grow at almost double the pages of those other More...

Very satisfying read, more realistic than author's previous books about music industry. Nick wasn't gay in three seconds flat, he didn't forgive Marlowe at once, there was no great coming out scene (willing or forced), the grittier parts of the business were not overlooked, etc. There were funny and cute moments as well as very emotional ones. The moment when Marlowe fell off the wagon was heartbreaking and brought tears to my eyes. Like some other readers, I was slightly bothered by Marlowe's c

I was completely captivated by this book from the start. Nick and Marlowe's emotional evolution kept me turning the pages and hoping for a life together built on a new foundation of trust. The events that take place in their lives really help to build the character development and really made me connect with Nick and Marlowe and provide a little insight into each of their thought processes.

Oh my God!! This was completely unputdownable! I mean, I cried when the accident happened and I was so angry at Marlowe but he was in so much pain. And then when he and Nick finally kinda got together I wanted to lock the pair of them in a room together and MAKE them talk to each other.
This book was painful but in a completely brilliant way. I love the fact that it wasn't easy for them, that they had to work to be together. I thought Kip was absolutely fantastic and I really hope we More...

I was torn as to how I felt about this book. I went with a 3.5 rounded up to a 4. On the one hand, I thought it was a better written book all around than other rocker books by Mykles. On the other however I felt like I never really got to know the characters the way I wanted to or needed to to really feel like the story was believable. It was odd how there was both a really strong well rounded story, without any sort of strong well rounded character.

4.5 stars. This was a great surprise. I was expecting something very light and instead found myself glued to the pages as the dramatic opening scenes between Nick and Marlowe unfolded. The author thanks someone at the beginning of the book for helping her make the band/music business part of the story realistic and I feel this part of the book is outstanding. She's done a great job of immersing us in the groupie and drug filled haze that Marlowe and his original band exist in. The sudden change

Cute tale about Marlowe, a drug addled rock star singer, and Nick, the guitarist in the band. An unfortunate drug assisted accident causes Nick to lose the use of his right arm and, as a result, the ability to continue his guitar playing. It also results with Marlowe's incarceration. Nick isn't sure he'll ever regain full use of his hand and Marlowe wallows in guilt as he goes through drug withdrawal in prison.

This is by far the best rocker book written by Jet Mykles. And she's written quite a few of them. While I think her Heaven Sent series is decent, they're underdeveloped and a little too superficial for me. This book however, had a lot of the depth that her other rocker books are lacking.

This book had stronger writing than Mykles previous rocker books, but the sexual/mental dynamic of the characters were all wrong to me. Mar being so insecure, even in his predicament and playing the "woman" made me scrunch my face in disgruntlement. Pathetically weak MC's are not my cup of tea, especially when it doesn't fit the characters' persona. I also didn't grasp who Nick really was. I didn't feel the love and how it could sustain itself for almost 2 year after an accident and se

The story was pretty good and emotionally deep. I liked the characters and how the plot developed from the start till the end. In general it was good written story full of sex, rock and drugs, but then that's what review said. All main characters were interesting and filled the story completely. Recommended emotional romantic story!

I spent the first part of this book just wanting to strangle Marlowe. He really should have been smacked for his initial encounter with Nick, even if the horrible accident had not occurred. However, I felt that he had changed significantly by the end of the book and was a character whom I could like.

Jet Mykles ROCKED it up a notch! This is my favorite of hers so far. The delicate (yet effective) subtlety of the storylines in the Heaven Sent series came to light after I read Reverb. Reverb has more of everything and it was better! I just finished reading the HS series, and this book was just the perfect follow up for me. There was more depth to the two main characters, their relationship and their world, which made a better depiction of reality. Indeed, love can come so More...

A very different story for JM, as many have already mentioned. It's much deeper and fuller than anything she's written before. The characters are more appealing. The story is more finely drawn. JM definitely upped her game with this book.

This is the first book by this author that I enjoyed without reservations! Don't expect the same fluff as in her Heaven Sent series. Reverb is much darker, but also much more powerful. I hope Mykles will write more in the same vein.

One of her best books to date. Also set in the glits and glamour of the music bizz but not the bubble gum type from Heavent Sent.
It does have the familiair gay for you theme but much more dramatic and a lot more heavy stuff happens before this couple get their HEA. Certainly recommended!

I love Jet's style with the pop star/rocker theme. I loved the Heaven sent series and this was just as good.
An emotional roller coaster so be prepared and have the tissues handy.

I love all of Jet Mykles' books. That being said, this is not my favorite. The first 2 books in the Heaven Sent series hold their position as my favorites.
