There were times when I was like “Dude, ease up, that’s not cool.” Eventually the two get to know each other and have to navigate some stressful situations as the band goes on tour.
And Viper doesn’t let up with flirting with Halo and presses to pursue some kind of relationship with him. Halo maintains that he’s straight, but questions that as he gets to know Viper.
Viper has the kind of smoldering reputation that lures both guys and gals alike (and he’s openly bisexual). The story toggles between Halo’s and Viper’s perspectives. Including the most discerning and popular member of the group, Viper. 24-year old Halo happens to try out and impresses the group from the get go with his angelic voice and interview. The group TBD is looking for a new lead vocalist, after their old one (Trent) left them staggering. He’s dropping lines every which way but loose, especially in the beginning. And if there’s one thing Viper isn’t, it’s subtle. I’m quite surprised I liked this as much as I did despite some moments where Viper was pressing Halo pretty hard in the beginning for a relationship. And from playing through the full story in “Chapters” – the audiobook is pretty faithful, with areas where the book goes into more detail for the experience. “Halo” caught my attention for featuring an m/m love story with rock music and the two LIs being in the same band. I’ve admittedly picked up quite a few books to read because of playing through at least part of the (or full) stories within the app. For those who might be unfamiliar, “Chapters” is an app where romance stories of various age and intensity levels are put to music, illustrations, and give choice-based options in which you navigate the relationship of the leading characters in the story. Full disclosure – the main reason I picked up this book by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine was because of the featured story in the app “Chapters” by the same name.
