When I looked up Her Final Sleep, right away I noticed that this type of book isn't normally what I would pick up and start to read on my own. So at first, I was a bit hesitant because I wanted to give this book justice when giving my review. I know that someone who normally would read a book in this genre, may rate it higher then someone that doesn't read this type of story. But then, I also thought that since this book is out of my genre and if it was able to hold my interest, then that alone would give this book the justice that it deserves. So, I decided to go for it.


I really enjoyed the writing. Instead of being in one particular POV like most books, it was narrated by each individual character. It did have a few main characters in the story but it also had some supporting characters. Regardless of the characters lead, the storyline gave a narration of their back ground, which I thought was nice and unique. You do get a lot of bits and pieces of different character back grounds, so at times it feels as though I were reading two separate story lines that had to do with one main subject.


Sash, Amber, Leni, and Kerri are in a hard rock band called Her Final Sleep. They play in a small town bar but every Friday night the bar is packed with people there just to see them. Every girl in the band is beautiful and excels in the instrument that they play. Only, there is something about them that no one else knows. A side they show only at night, and once you see it, you will not live to let anyone else know as it will end in a deadly consequence. They are hiding a huge secret. Getting too close to them only puts you in harms way.


Kyle was fascinated by Her Final Sleep, but then again who wasn't. Everyone that knew them knew they were going to become famous and leave their little town. Kyle, Jeff, and Sam were also in an up and coming band so they would meet up at the bar every Friday night. They would watch the girls play in hopes of learning from them, and maybe being the opening act for Her Final Sleep one day. So when they got offered the opportunity to meet up with them so they can play some music together, they wasted no time to agree.


There is so much that goes in this story. There is plenty of mystery and it also has some horror in it so there is most definitely some bloody scenes. I actually really enjoyed it. It kept me wondering what was going on and when the unknown becomes known I found myself getting pulled in! The ending did have a twist to it with one of the main characters that you would not have seen coming so great job on that! All in all, if you like to read books that have a bit of mystery, with multiple story lines, you should definitely pick this up. I would recommend it and rate it 4 stars!
