Title: Broken Lullabies (Love of a Rockstar, #2)
His eyes as black as the the devils tongue
His melodic voice more tempting than a siren’s call
Three years ago, Camille Barker was held at knife point but her attacker wasn't the one who haunted her dreams. No, it was the man that stood a-washed in the yellow glow of the street light, his stare observant but heedless. A witness to the senseless act. The venom that dripped from his twisted lips saved Camille's life and set her soul ablaze. Reemerging from the ashes, she set upon the well worn path her parent’s always dreamed she would take.
That is until rock n roller, Matthew Lee, shows her that you can only bask in the sun so long before the monsters come out to play.

I don't know what happened. The first two books were great and this one was so disappointing. Most of the book was boring and static. Not many things really happened.
Camille has been attacked four years ago by some frat guy. His friend "saved" her by insulting her, the attacker just let her go. Even after of years of therapy she haven't dealt with it. She still can't stand to look at herself in the mirror.
Matthew was the frontman of the band that Luke from Love of a Rockstar was part too. Now that the band is over he's got nothing to do, he doesn't know what he wants to do. Maybe nothing, maybe work with Luke on his own record label, maybe do some solo stuff, maybe join some other band.
He is instantly attracted to Camille and she is to him, but what she doesn't know is that he was the one who "saved" her that night four years ago.
Four years is being the vital information. She was almost scared of her own shadow for four years and therapy did nothing to her. She let go of her dream and stared studying psychology. FOUR years. I know that PTSD is a serious thing but she wasn't afraid of being attacked. She was afraid of herself.
And to be honest, she was asking for it. Or at least for getting slaped.
I really didn't connect with anyone in BROKEN LULLABIES. It was shallow, boring, not interesting, there was too much inner drama. It didn't flow naturally, most of it felt forced. I didn't see any real chemistry or love.
I might read the rest of the series, but BROKEN LULLABIES was a serious let down.
