Oh my goodness this book!
I was hooked from the first page.
In a back and forth, from past to present, we learn about Melissa Webb’s journey of finding love with her rockstar boyfriend, Luke Black, her transformation inside the public eye, and the ultimate end to a stalker gone crazy.
There were times I got so annoyed at how Melissa and Luke behaved towards each other. However, I can understand how life can become difficult when everything you do is made public overnight. I think one of my favorite characteristics of Melissa is that she is a fighter and doesn’t hold a grudge. During her break up with Luke she never once made him feel bad for keeping company with other women. She also fights the stalker with everything she has to ensure those she loves are not hurt.
I say this is a bit of a cliffhanger ending because we don’t get to learn about how Luke and Melissa move past being betrayed by those closest to them. However, since the second book is already out, you don’t have to wait to find out what happens.
My only complaint about this book, there were many times when the author would get the words were and was mixed up. It was a constant throughout the entire book and started to deviate my enjoyment of the book after a while.
Really great read about a rock band just getting big and their girlfriends. Lots of twists, turns, suspense, and little romance. Can’t wait to read the next book!

This is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by this author. This is a plot that is dripping in mystery and suspense from start to finish. It’s set around the music industry but could easily be related to anyone in this day and age. Melissa and Luke go through hell for no reason other than they love each other which upsets obsessed fans. This is a wonderful story and a page-turner. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Strings by Kate Green is a story about the Black Eagles rock band, but in reality it is a twisted love story. Strings capture my attention from the first paragraph and held it until I finished the last page. Kate Green has managed to turn a beautiful love story into a beautiful, suspenseful, twisted, captivating journey into the joys and pitfalls of true love. Her characters are so well written that you feel as if you are getting a glimpse into the life of a rich and famous rock band. Luke and Melissa are now my favorite characters. Strings is a truly emotional adventure for the reader, and has the kind of ending that has you breathless to find out “who was involved”. Kate Green is now officially my favorite author and I’m looking forward to what she brings us next. 5+++

This book left me in suspense mode from the start. It was next to impossible to put down. I’m wishing noow that would I of read this series sooner. I’m hanging in suspense and can’t wait to read the final 2 books. You created the perfect villian and the perfect person to aid in her craziness. The person who aided her was just as nutty as she was and as obsessed. Well done, Kat Green.
Can I just say WOW, Kat Green shows us what it’s like when the band , Black Eagles , becomes famous and what they go thru during this time. Like a roller coaster, things twist and turn, go up and down so you never know for sure which way the story is going to go next. It felt like I was along for the ride and seeing it all happen right in front of me. Don’t ever think that you know what is going to happen next because you Kat Green can throw a curve that will knock you out of your socks. This is a must read book and I’m looking forward to the next book
A beautiful novel, easy to read and extremely hard to put down. Very good story with interesting characters that will keep you engrossed in the novel. I loved this Novel.
Intriguing story. Written from the standpoint of the band members and there girlfriends it delves into the chaotic side of the life instead of the upside. With the lies being spread by the media and the crazy fans and stalkers the band doesn’t know who they can trust. It’s a wild ride to the top and a long call when things go wrong. Good read!
This book is awesome. You are sucked farther in with every word that you feel like you are seeing everything through melissa’s eyes. It’s very detailed and some parts have you on the edge of your seat in suspense as to what’s going to happen. I couldn’t stop reading this once I started and I definitely recommend this book to everyone.
Beginning at the end, Strings plays out like a flashback with intermittent stops in the present time as Melissa recounts the events leading up to the current tragedy. A tragedy which could have been avoided. Amber showed all the classic tendencies of a severely disturbed individual yet no one did anything about it to stop her. If that had been done, we would have spent less time on psychodrama and more time on the drama revolving a regular girl dating a rock star drama. It just felt as if that was dragged on a lot longer than necessary. As it is, after a while it got annoying and the Amber drama was dragging the story on longer than it had to.
As much as I enjoyed the story, it was difficult to tell at times who was speaking. It just went from one character directly into the other without pause. At times even from one sentence to the next in the same paragraph. Still, it was a good read.
I will admit that the surprise twist was a shocker to me. Well done. Not much surprises me when it comes to books and plots and this one did a great job at doing that. I sure did not see that coming. Overall, it was a pretty good story with interesting characters. Beth and Melissa have a bit if an impulse problem which made them seem so much younger than they were supposed to be, but their friendship was a thing of beauty. Melissa and Luke were just so sweet. I didn’t see these huge sparks that I keep hearing about, but a level of caring that could withstand time. I loved them as a couple. I just couldn’t understand why they continued to put their relationship on the line time and time again by making stupid choices that allowed Amber to continue her psycho tendencies and others to come between them.
I enjoyed it and the characters enough to admit that I will be reading the others in the series. Maybe not right away, some of the terminology really threw me at times and possibly dampened my enjoyment of the story, but eventually, if I have nothing else pending I could be persuaded to pick the other books in the series up.
Strings
Great characters and a story that puts you through an emotional wringer from start to end, I shed a few tears while reading this one
I love rock star romances and this one did not fail to deliver! This one was intriguing from the start and kept me on my toes wondering what was going to happen next. If you like Rockstar books with heartbreaking moments and suspense then you will love this book!
Very believable and twisted plot.
Humanity is so dangerously unpredictable that way. Despite true love so many factors can disrupt. What should be sacred and simple even more complicated by fame. My heart soured, broke and I cried for this very well written tale.
4 out of 5 stars

An emotional rollercoaster that kept me on the edge of my seat begging to know what happens next! I loved the mystery and suspense! The writing style took some getting used to and I’m not sure what I think about it to be honest but I really enjoyed the story and the characters as well.
This is not your typical rockstar romance, it is so much more. The story and characters are complex, very well written, and believable. The author effortlessly draws the reader into the story, it feels as though you are a part of what is going on. There is plenty of suspense, a little action, and a whole lot of romance. Definitely worth reading.
Wow! What an amazing start to a twisted but Loveable story I luke
