Sadie Townsend is known by all as The Ice Princess and she’s worked hard to earn her reputation. Her father, a now-incarcerated Drug Lord, has kept her under his thumb her whole life, and she’s learned enough from living in his world to give everyone the cold shoulder. But one inebriated night, she shows Hector the Real Sadie, and he knows he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Hector Chavez makes one (huge) mistake: he waits for Sadie to come to him. Tragedy strikes, and Sadie’s got a choice. She can retreat behind her Ice Fortress, or she can embrace the Rock Chick/Hot Bunch World. Guided by Hector, the Rock Chicks, the Hot Bunch and her new gay roommates, Buddy and Ralphie, Sadie negotiates a life out from under her father’s thumb. A life that includes poison, arson and learning how to make s’mores.
Some good parts, some very frustrating parts… I have mixed feeling about this story so I will break down what I liked and didn’t like.Â
Love me some Hector! My favorite “quote” – it made me go all aww[…]Â
A more serious Rock Chick After reading all but one of the Rock Chick’s I’ll admit I was getting a little tired of the formula. Girl in trouble bumbles into town, boy latches onto her and won’t let go, girl fights attraction, eventually, after several madcap adventures, girl submits to boy and awesomeness ensues. The more characters that this series collects, the more ridiculous it gets. There is over-the-top surveillance, oversharing, just over-everything in this series.Â
