Rellik Paperback – October 28, 2014

The reason I only gave this book three stars was because there were some issues I had with the book. Overall it was a fast-paced, page turner. I didn't want to put it down I had to know what was going to happen next.****I Really hope that there is an update for this book with the grammatical errors are fixed. *******

Seriously Teresa brings all the feels in this book. Love her writing!

Loved it.

“Rellik Bentley is to die for.“ - Oh hell, yes, he SO is! That tagline couldn't be any more spot-on... his picture should be in the dictionary, right next to the definiton of hotter than hell, bad boy rockstar.Mummert's style of writing and her ability to set a tone and atmosphere that make it impossible to not feel the story takes you to a whole new world in her bad-a*s novel "Rellik". A world full of heartache, pain and broken characters that will have two people find love in the most unexpected of instances. And just when you think you know what's going on, Mummert does what she does best – she throws a plot twist at you so hard, it'll knock your reading glasses off your nose. She is my absolute favorite when it comes to those, to plot twists... if there was a plot twist kingdom, Teresa Mummert would be its Queen, its Goddess.I really liked the characters - especially the band members, and I wish there was a book about each one of them and their individual... history. I also absolutely loved the story itself, even if it was a bit too fast-paced at times, especially when it came to the development of what was going on between Rellik and Ella. The use of lyrics and the definitions in the beginning of each chapter were also very enjoyable, and it was great learning about Rellik's past by getting a glance at it via flashbacks.Overall, judging only the story and general way of storytelling, I am dying to give this novel a five star rating. The editing, however, made me cringe far too many times - had this been an unedited pre-publication edition, an ARC, I would be jumping at the opportunity of throwing my 'five' at it, assuming that all errors would be corrected by the time of release... but seeing this was a purchased published paperback, I can't just go and ignore all the misspelling, missing apostrophes and other errors that I got caught on without even being on the lookout. I am not going to lie - the editing, or at times rather the lack thereof, made this an occasionally utterly frustrating read, and the love-hate-relationship I've had with the book made me debate between a three and a four star rating. In the end, I will be settling for four - because my love for Rellik and the story told in the novel are winning over my frustration with the editing - without which, this would have definitely been a five star read!

I couldn't wait to meet Rellik Bentley. When Teresa Mummert first posted about this book I was hooked.Rellik Bentley is to die for.He can have any woman he wants and they will do anything to be with him. He uses and abuses them like drugs and tosses them out with the trash. The only thing he gives a f*ck about is his music. That is, until Ella Lighten walks into his life and stumbles upon one of his darkest secrets. In the midst of doing damage control, he begins to obsess over the mysterious woman who wants absolutely nothing to do with him.Rellik won’t take no for an answer.This story does have a darkness hovering above the characters and the dreary town. When Ella meets Rellik in a dark alley, little does she know he is the missing link to her puzzled past. Rellik knows Ella has a connection to his past, but he is beyond shocked at the twists and turns Ella lays out for him. Despite the their pasts being linked, it the bond of who they have become that will link them forever.Teresa Mummert has given her readers a chilling story, with dark personalities and twists no one sees coming. The strength she has given Ella makes her one of my favorite heroines. And I wanted to dislike Rellik, but how could I? His sensitive side gutted me as much as his dark side pissed me off.This is an excellent novel by a favorite author. If you are looking to venture into a dark read, this is a good choice for a first timer.

WTH DID I JUST READ????I finished this book last night, and I'm still not sure if I'm ready to review it...cause well I still don't know how I felt about it. Don't get me wrong, this book is brilliantly written, the imagination it must have taken to come up with this..WOW. The book gave me whiplash! Every time I thought I had this things figured out BAM another twist... and I was left saying to myself 'can this get any more f$%^ed up'.You are not going to like the characters in this book. But F me Teresa can write characters that are easy to hate so well!!!!!! Rellik is not likeable at all, he is no redeemable and if you want a HEA, this is not the book for you. If you want to read a brilliantly constructed f-up then find a quiet corner and strap in for the long haul, becasue once you start you can not stop.Do not try to find out about this book, just give it a go. It has left me reeling, it has left me ponding the fine line between good and bad. It has left me questioning the line between sanity and revenge.What a star Teresa is! I though Pretty Little Liars was brilliant, but this one epitomises dark read.I have decided I LOVED IT!!!!!

Another great book by one of my favorite authors. "Rellik" is gritty, intense and all-consuming! The change of point of view in each chapter only serves to draw you further into the morbid underbelly of families at their worst.I absolutely love Teresa Mummert's writing style. With each turn of the page, you find a new twist to an already seedy world. I found myself surprised at how real and mesmerizing these characters became. Drawn into their minds with their thoughts only draws you further into the book. I applaud the story that Ms. Mummert conveys. She writes the stories I didn't know I wanted to read...

RELLIK is an alpha male you will try to hate, then you'll wonder when you fell in love with him...I had no idea when I picked this book up that there would be no way I could put it down. There is not a good stopping place, so cuddle up and settle in. Then hang on for the ride of your life!

Bene bene bene, sono contenta! Mi piace un sacco quando un'autrice a cui in precedenza ho dato tot stelline, con il suo nuovo lavoro riesce a guadagnarsi un punteggio pieno :D I love love love love it! Non vi sentite soddisfatte anche voi, quando sfornate un commento/recensione da 5 stelline?! ;) Avendo conosciuto Teresa Mummert con Pretty Little Things, la seguivo già su Goodreads e, quando sul suo profilo comparve la scheda di Rellik con relativa cover e sinossi . . . I CRAVE IT! Non vi dico quello che è successo quando ho visto il booktrailer >.< Io dovevo avere Rellik Bentley. Ok, ho appena pronunciato il suo nome. Signore, e ora . . . deliriooo! Non appena ho aperto il libro, ho pensato: "Ecco, sono fregata". E la Mummert mi ha fregato alla grandissima xD Confesso che le pagine iniziali sono state un po' lente, ma non appena Rellik e Ella si incontrano . . . wuellà! Con la furia di un leone, Rellik salva Ella da un assalitore in un vicolo buio, portando l'uomo in fin di vita a mani nude. Sì sì, ragazzacce, avete capito bene: a suon di pugni - e non è che Rellik fosse un maciste, tutt'altro :P No no, conservate i sospiri, perché non vi ho ancora detto la cosa fondamentale: Rellik likes it ROUGH! Yay *•* Giovane, vieni subito qui e fammi tuaaa ♥ Questo ragazzo trasuda pericolo da tutti i pori, credete a me. E' come se avesse una scritta al neon stampata in fronte: DANGEROUS >.< Sarà forse colpa del suo nome d'arte? Ma vogliamo parlare delle scene di sesso?! Straordinarie, incredibili, da arricciamento dei piedi costante :Q_ Che sia contro un muro, sul cofano di una macchina in piena vista, contro una porta o sul letto, Rellik Bentley vi manderà in orbita come solo lui sa fare ;) Per chi mi segue su Goodreads, se ne sarà accorto dai miei stati ahahahah A pagina 124 sono saltata dal divano gridando: "Frena frena frena, cosa è successo?!". Ero esterrefatta °_° mamma mia, che grandioso colpo di scena! Sul serio, proprio non me lo aspettavo! Che poi, io sono un po' torda, quindi non ero nemmeno sicura di aver inteso bene quello che stava accadendo xD Vi dico solo una cosa e poi metto un freno a questo delirio sconsiderato. Dream Killer. Ora, passiamo ai complimenti a Teresa Mummert :D Ho adorato il suo stile, così elegante! E' passato molto tempo da quando ho letto Pretty Little Things, quindi sono rimasta molto impressionata, perché non rammentavo una scrittura così fluida e coinvolgente ^_^ Ho amato anche l'impaginazione ▬ una cosa a cui io tengo molto ▬ e i titoli scritti con quel font stupendo (che se non sbaglio dovrebbe essere il Downcome ♥). Super! Unica pecca ▬ a mio gusto personale, ovviamente ▬ è stata la parte finale. Non posso spiegarvi perché, altrimenti vi rovinerei tutto, ma personalmente penso si sia persa tutta l'atmosfera insidiosa che ha caratterizzato tutto il libro. E' vero che Rellik, in realtà, è sempre stato un ragazzo bisognoso di amore e di essere salvato da se stesso, ma è stato veramente troppo stucchevole per la sottoscritta, sorry :P Quindi, in conclusione, sono 5-- stelline ▬ non 4 o 4.5, perché comunque questo protagonista mi ha colpita tantissimo e la trama è veramente da capogiro :D
