Mutilate My Heart (Mutilate #1) by Emily Godwin
Date of Publication: July 9, 2013
Genre: contemporary YA romance with paranormal elements
Review:
Mutilate My Heart is an interesting tale. I loved the rock star with a twist angle. I enjoyed the characters and it made for a quick, fun read.
Becca and Carli are fun characters. This is mainly Becca's story but Carli is along for the ride as well picking her on band member from Mutilated Arteries. I loved Becca's love of music and devotion tot the band. I love music as well so it was fun to see a book from this point-of-view. Becca doesn't have a lot of development, but it takes place over a short span of time and the main focus is the plot. Sketch also made a great character. A fun, yet down-to-earth rock star and new member of the band.
Becca and Sketch and Carli and Corpse's whirlwind romance are the real focus of the book. And there is a twist. But the book is fun and fast-moving. The plot was interesting, not too predictable and different. The fast-pace made me keep reading and almost finished it in one sitting.
If you want a book that focuses on music, rock stars and some romance, this is just the book for you. If you enjoy a paranormal twist this is fun too. I loved the book and look forward to seeing where this series goes.
My Rating: 4.5/5.0

Blurb:
Becca's mom warns her not to fall for a rock star
because rock stars are always on the road - or they die in a plane
crash, like her mom's favorite band did twenty-something years ago. But
after the band's tour bus breaks down and they're stuck hanging out in
Roizen Hills for a week, it's hard for Becca not to fall for Sketch and
his caricature drawings and toxic green eyes.
Becca knows Sketch is leaving as soon as the bus is
fixed, and she can't be his fan-turned-girlfriend anyway because of the
lead singer's "No Girlfriends" rule. Plus, there's something strange
about the guys that Becca can't quite decipher... like how they won't
reveal their real names, their always-changing odd appearances, and the
guitarist's obsession with blood and zombies. Still, Becca wants nothing
more than for Sketch to mutilate her heart...but it just might not be
in a way she expects.
