ARC REVIEW ➤ BREAKDOWN BY ALY ZIGADA
TITLE: Breakdown
AUTHOR: Aly Zigada
GENRE: Rocker | Romance
PUBLICATION: July 18th, 2019
Synopsis
Atticus Creed saved my life. His voice talked me down. His lyrics stripped me bare. His tattoos against my hidden scars made me feel beautiful. In turn, I wrecked him with a love that exposed his soul and lies that called to his vilest demons.
We were innocent then.
I’m not a broken girl anymore. Now I’m the woman who reigns over the corrupt record label he abandoned, and he’s a tortured musician who wants retribution as viciously as I want another taste of his lips. Inevitably, he will crash in my arms, and I will burn in his.
Depravity is all we know. It’s in the air we breathe, it’s in our sweat, it’s the music we make.
An unforgettably searing and unapologetically honest romance about enemies, lovers, and the music that binds them.
Warning: This book contains adult language and subject matter including graphic violence and explict sex that may be disturbing for some readers. This book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

My Review
’BREAKDOWN':
Is a full length romance novel by author Aly Zigada, her new debut book. Jumps from ‘Past to Present’ Various POV’s
OMFG One look at the cover, then the synopsis, then some sneak peaks of the reviews and before I can get my stalking mode in gear to hunt down this newbie author an arc arrives on my kindle!! In my freaking happy place!!
This was a wee bit confusing to begin with (information and character overload) all at once. To keep up I had to break it down.
PAST: So we’re introduced to twenty-two year old Imogen Creed in the ‘Prologue’ this is where it all started with ‘Perversion Records’ which is one families legacy, but it is so much more than just a record company.
It all starts to spiral out of control.
Then we’re introduced to: Sophie, Ezra and Merrit, according to Imogen these three betrayed her. Merrit was her best friend who is now married to Ezra. Sophia is her brothers ex.
Atticus is Imogen’s brother he’s also Sophie’s ex, he met her on the night that she was turning eighteen. He took her virginity in the diner owned by her father.
Holy sh#t!! My brain is fried!! So much happens in this so you have to have your wits about you from the get go. This isn't just a romance novel. It's so so much more!! These characters were beyond redemption!! Get ready to rock n roll!! Get ready to have your socks blow'n off!! This was one crazy assed ride!! I can not believe that this is this author's debut novel, this blew me away with her talent, the storyline, the ride I was taken on, nothing prepared me for what was to come.
Where cunning manipulation and revenge go hand in hand..
The plot was so intricate, the characters engaging, the sex scenes were beyond hot, they sizzled off the pages. This ticked so many boxes. This was a clusterf#ck of epic proportions, all these characters were hot messes. I didn't know if I was coming or going, I felt like I was suffering from a drug induced hangover.
The characters were bat shit crazy, they put me through the wringer and then spat me out, I felt drained, drunk on words, this author rocked this book, it ticked so many boxes, you guys are not going to know what hits you once you get your hands on this book. And still a few days later as I sit here adding to my review I'm still flabbergasted over the fact that this beauty right here is her debut novel. You would swear she is a seasoned author.
