Goodreads review by Cindy Mink

The first book is hard to live up to. I like the characters in this series, this book is a much slower pace than the first one. I think it has set up the plot of the next book to be more like the first one.......more

Though quiet at times, there’s......more

Quotes

“Price has proven he is more than a one-hit wonder. All the while he is weaving the lyrics of a novelist’s song, he draws the reader into a world of rock and roll and supernatural intrigue. Eyre Price is rock fiction’s front man.” —Rick Robinson, award-winning, international bestselling author of Alligator Alley

“Rock Island Rock is a gripping thriller, as raw and compelling as the music that underscores its pages.” —Melinda Leigh, bestselling author of Midnight Sacrifice

“Price handles a keyboard the way Keith Richards handles a black, three pick-up Gibson Les Paul Custom on ‘Sympathy For The Devil.’“ —Michael Sherer, author of Night Blind

“With Rock Island Rock, Eyre Price lets us know that he’s here to stay. The Crossroads series is destined for big things... Price weaves his story into the heart of America and her music and tells it like it is. Fast-paced, with a dark sense of humor and characters who remind me of many people I have known, make it unputdownable. Rock Island Rock will knock you out.” —Robert Pobi, international bestselling author of Bloodman and Manheim Rex

“Mesmerizing and original, Rock Island Rock, perfectly blends lyrical prose, Elmore Leonard-like grit, and a dose of the supernatural in this tale of a music man who’s done some bad, bad things. It’s a mystery, a story of good versus evil, and a love letter to rock and roll. Eyre Price is one of the best new voices in the genre.” —Anthony J. Franze, author of The Last Justice

“Price moves the reader at a blazing pace through Daniel Erickson’s frenetic world, a world punctuated by violence, desperation, crime, and redemption. Poured over all this is the soul of rock and roll, which gives the story its truly original flavor. Kudos to Price for this literary rock opera.” —Carter Wilson, author of Final Crossing
