Alex, a rock god, an addict nearly on the edge of self-destruction with one too many marks against himself. Needs to make a comeback in the most positive way to fix the trail of a disaster he left behind him. Still dealing with the betrayal of the woman he loved and his best friend. He sets off on his tour with his newest babysitter in tow, Indigo Bellamy. More than anything he wants her gone, but eventually changes his mind and has better plans for her.
Indie needs this job more than anything to help her family out. Just like Alex's world is crumbling around him, Indie's has fallen apart and she's at the point where she's afloat and content with her life. A nephew she absolutely adores and a family she'd do anything for. A brother who is just angry and became a different person when both of their parents were killed and can't seem to just be there for his girlfriend and son. Indie tries to keep everything together with her family especially when it seems to be a tough thing to do when she learns that she has to babysit the biggest kid in the world. Goal, finish the job and make it out alive with her heart intact.
Two broken souls, 3 months, traveling around the world with a chemistry to burn down the world. What will come of these two by the end, with an ever so persistent Alex who is honest with his intentions for these 3 months. How will it take for Indie to give in even when she knows she'll end up broken in the end.
HOLY SH*T! I haven't had a book in so long where I wanted to highlight every line! Yes, I was already a fan of Shen's work, but Midnight Blue secured the deal permanently. Every word bled off the page in such a sad, but beautiful way. It's nearly heartbreaking. As much of a douchebag Alex was, you can see all that pain he hides away. But Indie isn't blind to it all. If anything, she completely understands it in her own way.
I love a girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind and talk back. She can deal with Alex in a way many can't or just refuses to because they just get tired of his antics. She's a fighter and will never let down!
Alex is honest, so honest that he knows he'll break Indie. But not before he takes her. He's gritty and raw, and just too damn sexy for his own good. Ever since he lost the woman who betrayed, it's been his goal to get in Indie's pants and reclaim what once was his. Displaying this facade to go after his ex all while staring down and pursuing what's in front of him. Something more you'll all realize, but will be waiting for him to see, too.
Little by little, they chip away each other's walls and it's a glorious sight to see. Be prepared to feel every little thing with these two. It's an emotional rollercoaster I've never imagined going on, but I loved every moment. Line for line I loved it all and I could never get enough. And I seriously want Alex's album, those songs are amazing and I want to listen to them forever.
Midnight Blue is a book I can read over and over again and re-live every raw emotion it emits. A book that bares its soul where you'll feel it down to your bones. Highly recommend this read, you won't regret it!
