Jaded Synopsis:
Review:
I am reviewing both Jaded and Faded. I want to start off by saying I LOVE this series! Mercy Amare is truly talented with words!!! I love that we dont really have to wait long for things to happen. The flow of the books are PERFECT! Also the writting style is the same in both books, which drives me crazy when you love a series but it changes from book to book. This is more YA but totally worth reading at both New Adult and Young Adult levels. It does not have sex but talks aboutbit a lot.
I love Scarlet amd Stephens relationship, they are both whitty as hell and give it equally! Throughout both books you get to see them develop, but Scarlet won't have sex with Stephen until he says I love you. She's not a virgin, but it is nice to see someone who makes yoy work for it. Lots of secrets come ouy in Jaded and you see them develop more in Faded. I want to talk about it so bad but its hard to not spoil it!! I will say that you will LOVE these within the first few pages!
I cannot wait for book 3 HATED!!!! Thank you Mercy for sharing!

I'm Scarlett Ryan.
Yes, THAT Scarlett Ryan.
I live an extraordinary life: millionaire rock star, owner of exotic cars, pictures of me in every magazine, millions of fans, and a name that is recognized world wide. It's supposed to be my dream come true. But, my life IS a fantasy, and I want real. I want exciting. I want... NORMAL. So, I moved from California to Florida, hoping to obtain some normalcy. Instead I find...
Stephan Montgomery.
He's an arrogant jerk. Seriously, I hate him. I swear if he tells me one more blonde joke, I will punch him... again... Unfortunately I can't stop thinking about him, or his gorgeous green eyes. Trust me, I know that he's bad for me. If only my heart would listen.
I also find out that my parents have kept a LIFE CHANGING secret from me. I need to know the truth.
The harder I strive for normal, the stranger things seem to get.
Jaded is book 1 of the Rock Star trilogy. Look for Faded, book 2, COMING SOON!

Faded Synopsis:
I left Hope – the only place I’ve ever felt at home. So now what? Where do I go from here?
When I left, I didn’t just leave my home. I left my friends, my sisters, and Stephan… I just found them. I can’t lose them now.
I know that I want to do MY music. I need to remember WHY I wanted to play music in the first place. And the only way to get that is by firing my dad, but that may be harder than I thought.
On top of everything, I now have cameras following me around everywhere. Even my own home isn’t safe anymore.
I’ve come to realize that normal will never be an option for me.
Faded is book 2 in the Rock Star Trilogy.

Age: 19
Physical description from the book: My hair is long, like past my waist long. And it's a shocking platinum blonde. The weird part is that it grows out of my head like this. I have always wanted to dye it, any color besides blonde. I hate the color of my hair. But my record company won't hear of it. Apparently they want a rock star who looks like Malibu Barbie.
Not that I look like a Barbie. Trust me, I'm not that perfect. Don't I wish...
I'm thin. Almost too thin. I blame it on lack of time to eat. Everything about me is too small, except my man arms, so says Perez Hilton. But I like my arms. They're very muscular... Not like bodybuilder muscles... More like, I help my band carry heavy equipment kind of muscles. You see, just because I'm a rock star doesn't mean I'm too good to help. Besides, setting up the stage is fun. It helps keep me grounded.
I also have small boobs.
Well, they're not that small. I wear a B cup, which works for my small body. But apparently the Hollywood sharks don't think so. Gossip blogs tear me apart. They told me I need to get a boob job. No thanks. The day I read that, I cried for an hour straight. The next day my song, I Won't Change for You, hit number 1. Very fitting. I kind of like to think of it as my way of giving a middle finger to the Hollywood sharks.
I'm also very short. 5'1”. Which sucks sometimes, but most of the time I like being little. It makes me feel girly. Plus, I wear a lot of heels.
So really, the only thing I have in common with Malibu Barbie is my hair.
Quote that fits her personality: I step to the microphone. “Guys, I'm human. I shit too...” After a short pause, I ask, “Am I allowed to say shit?” Silence is all that answers. “Anyway, I'm going to be here for the rest of the school year. I'm taking a break from touring to finish my senior year. Hopefully we can be friends.” As I step away from the mic, I suddenly feel faint. Did I seriously just talk about shitting in front of the entire high school?
Real attractive, Scar.
Best qualities: She is fun, gorgeous, talented, and flirty.
Worst Qualities: She’s is very arrogant, and is used to getting her way.
