Lots and lots and lots of binge-reading in my near future. Next up is K.M. Neuhold's Replay series. It starts with (the prequel): "Rock Bottom."
["Downward Spiral— a band with a handful of platinum records, and almost no hope of making it. Meet Lincoln, Benji, Lando, and Jude— the hottest rock stars of the decade, who’ve just about hit rock bottom."]
Downward Spiral was first introduced in the Heathens Ink series (the fifth book "Inked In Vegas") when all of the Heathens went to their concert and got asked to go backstage. They became friends, and the guys from Heathens ended up tattooing the guys from Downward Spiral.
And this is so I don't get confused myself: Lincoln is the singer and he self-harms/is suicidal after some yet-to-be-named incident/person; Benji plays keyboard, is basically sunshine, and is crushing on best friend's twin; Lando writes songs and plays bass, and he's pining after weekend-night-stand; and Jude plays the drums and he does drugs/is self-destructive after a shitty childhood traumatized him.
After reading this short story, I'm now even more excited about reading this series! I can't wait for everyone to get their happily ever afters. Because right now, it seems as if those HEAs are very (very, very) far away (this is going to be a dark and twisty and emotional one, folks; buckle up).
Trigger Warnings: self-harm, drug use, suicidal tendencies, ect
