review 1: Finished reading this great book the other day and I'm still thinking about it. His father, Schooner, had his own epic love story and now it's Zac's turn. He was the teen we all loved to hate in the original Needing Moore series and now he's back to prove there's so much more (no pun intended) beneath the surface. Without giving anything away, I will say that this was a good book filled with emotional highs and lows. What I liked best was how true to the character the author was, not only showing his evolution but not glossing over the hard and difficult parts of his life and psyche (i.e. explaining the emotional detachment.) I also liked his relationship with Lily and I would love to hear more about them, not only in the future but possibly another book?I would recommend ... morethis book (only after you read the original series first to get a clearer picture of his origins) and I sincerely hope this is not the last we've heard from the Moore family. Hint hint. Is Holly next? : )
review 2: I absolutely love Julie and she knows this. Poor woman probably hides when she sees me message or pop up on her phone. LOLOLBad Son Rising is sort of a spin off of her Needing Moore series (a must-read if you have not already). We met Zac in that series but here’s where we get to know him more.Zac is a douche – plain and simple. He treats women like they are his to feast upon. And it’s not like he hides it either. And it’s not that’s he’s trying to compensate for anything by acting this way – it’s just how he is. But Zac is also very smart – both book smart and street smart. And sometimes that gets into trouble – trouble that affects his future greatly.There is only woman that he has ever come across his life that intrigued him. It wasn’t just her looks but the fact that she acted as if he didn’t exist. When he has the opportunity to possibly see her again after a few years – he doesn’t pass up the chance. Cause we all know Zac loves a challenge.I won’t get into details as to what happens because they just takes away from the whole story. Zac is definitely crafty and somewhat scheming when he goes after something he wants. However – life doesn’t play by Zac’s rules.I wish we could have seen more of Zac’s bad-boy side because that’s why he intrigued me to begin with. But that definitely does not deter or hurt the story – just a personal preference. I am hoping we get to know more about Zac’s two closest friends – Liz and Brian. Liz is quite the interesting character we don’t see too often and Brian has his own qualities I’d like to read more about.Overall – I truly enjoyed reading this book. Julie is fast becoming one of my favorite authors that always has me anxiously waiting to see what she puts out next. less
