Slick's review: 
 So, Kristen Ashley just outdid herself with the prequel to the Rock Chick series, Rock Chick Reawakening. This is the story a lot of the Rock Chick posse has been after for years and let me just say it was soooooo worth the wait. Daisy and Marcus Sloan were fixtures throughout the Rock Chick series and this is their story, their start, their everything, and I am blown away at the emotional rollercoaster this book took me on and how it left me feeling fulfilled. This is a novella that reads like a novel and it is everything I could have hoped for and more. 
 I loved so much about this book but mostly I loved that Ms. Ashley gave us a glimpse into the very young lives of Daisy and Marcus which allowed the reader to see where they came from, what motivated them, and why they did the things they did. Having this history was key to the people they have become and while I always got a kick out of Daisy and loved the way she always jumped in to help anyone in need, understanding why and seeing where her strength came from was a huge bonus. I'll admit Marcus was one of those characters that I was a bit ambivalent about, but after this book Marcus is a hero all other hero's should hope to be. Damn that man, he totally stole my heart. 
 Their relationship wasn't easy especially at the beginning and they had a lot of ups and downs given the circumstances they were dealing with, but what was noticeable was that Marcus never lost focus of what he wanted which was a life with Daisy, and Daisy proved time and time again that she wasn't a pushover, she was always going to look after herself, and that despite everything that happened in her life she expected any man in it to treat her with the respect she deserved. Marcus was absolutely up to that task and took pride is making sure Daisy knew he always would be. 
 I could go on and on about this book because seriously I am on such a book high right now, I don't want to come down, but I want you to read it for yourself so I'm going to encourage you to buy it and do just that. If you are a Rock Chick fan I know you will love this book as much as I did and if you haven't read the Rock Chick series, this is a perfect place to start at the beginning and believe me you will not be sorry. Rock Chick Reawakening is filled with so much excellence including some cameo appearances by some of my favorite people, but most of all this book is filled with the love of two people who deserved every bit of happiness they brought into each other's lives. Thank you Kristen Ashley for giving Daisy and Marcus their words and thank you Liz Berry and the 1001 Dark Nights team for giving her a home for this beautiful story. 
 Oh and by the way, these aren't just 5 plain stars, no freakin' way these are 5 special SPARKLE stars because according to Daisy, "Every girl needs a little sparkle however she can get it..." and I totally agree with her!
