My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3,5 mixed feelings stars
I am really into this series. Absolutely adore the band dynamics, the characters and the development of the story

Destroyed is the 3rd novel in the Lost in Oblivion Series and whilst it was a fun read it kind of wasn’t a dazzling one!

But before I go into why Simon, the band’s lead singer and total manwhore and groupie lover, let me just say that the one thing about this book that I LOVED LOVED LOVED!!!!!! The band is going to play one of the most unforgettable songs by one of the most unforgettable bands ever, on stage!!!! OMG!!!!

Let me jump up and down right now!!!! Let me scream and shout in happiness!!!!

And Simon…before I may have been a bit so so about you, but when you said……

I am going to forget my initial thoughts about you….you may just not be that bad at all!!!! This is what made me change my mind about you??? What, you’re calling me fickle??? Okay, I might just be a teenie weenie bit!!! But, hell, anyone mentions Led Zeppelin and I go into ORBIT!!! So, let me close my eyes and listen to you singing Kashmir…..I approve…and ………….


Okay, enough of that…let’s carry on about your story!!!
So, you’re the kind of rockstar we hear about…drink, drugs, girls, mindless sex…but hell, when it comes to music….you know your thing!!!

You’re living the ultimate life of a rockstar, the world is getting to know you and the band – but something is missing in your life…and then…wow….things may just be looking up for you Simon…no, maybe not!!!!

Look, can I just knock some sense into you? Why are you behaving like an ass@#$$%? What’s the matter with you??? Instead of seeing what’s really in front of you…what do you do instead? Behave like an absolute jerk!!! Feel sorry for yourself!!!!

But then Margo Reece, the woman of your dreams and more is not exactly behaving much better. Can I knock some sense into her as well???? Look, as a woman I may understand why she thinks you are a bit of a dick!!!! So far, it’s been not so much exciting sex between the two of your!! I mean, think about it….where’s the flowers, romance, low lights..Oh rockstars don’t do that??? You’re kidding right??? Closets, walls are okay???

Simon, Margo…you two are in serious need of what love and romance is all about!!!!! No, you think you might just get it right with each other??? Allright….I’ll leave you both to it and wait with abated breath!!!

Jeez….Simon…I knew you would come right!! And please Margo, will you clue up!!!!!!! Get with the program girl!!! This guy really feeeels for you!!!!

So, after my “little” chat with Simon and Margo, let me just tell you some of the few things that got to me in this book!!

I just didn’t feel a deep connection between Simon and Margo. I wanted to tear my and their hair out with frustration…the way they handled each other every time they’re together. Why don’t they just own up to their real feelings for each other???

I wanted to know more about Simon’s history….perhaps it would have made me connect with his character more.

I did feel that there was a hell of a lot going on in this story that took a bit of the attention off their relationship….look, I am not complaining…much…I love the inclusion of all the band members and their “family” in each book…but just saying.

And then….we get to the f@##$%^ cliffhanger!!! What the hell!!!

I wasn’t exactly unhappy about this book…but it just kind…of ended…and…..TO BE CONTINUED!!!

Okay, I will be checking out what will continue in the next installment!!!!
