Review: Incognito

Incognito by Siobhan Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Since my first Siobhan Davis read, she has been an author I will dive into the moment I get her next release on my Kindle. In other words, I’m a big fan. Incognito screamed out to me more than the average Siobhan Davis read, though, as rock star romances are some of my favourites. In fact, they’re probably my biggest weakness.

Unfortunately, I was moving house when this came through to my Kindle. I had wanted to dive straight into Incognito the first moment I could, yet I had to hold off until I was able to update my Kindle and was done with moving things around. It was a painful wait, especially when I could see other people were reading and enjoying this one, but it was worth the wait.

You see, once I started reading Incognito it quickly became another Siobhan Davis read that I had to complete in a single sitting. Once I started, I could not put it down. The story sucked me in and left me wanting more, leaving me turning pages at a rapid pace as I ignored the world around me.

All in all, Siobhan Davis has given us another winner.

If I’m being completely honest, of her first two books that are complete standalones, I loved Incognito so much more. Sure, Inseparable was an enjoyable read – yet it pales in comparison to Incognito. This may just be personal preference because Incognito is more in line with the storylines I like, but I’m fairly certain a lot of people are going to agree that Incognito is an even more powerful standalone than Inseparable.

Whilst I’m on the topic of Inseparable, before I go deep into this fan girl review, know you get a bit of cross over with this one. Did you want to know what happened to the Inseparable characters a few years down the line, did you want to know what comes next? Well, the characters appear in this one. You do not need to have read Inseparable to understand their role in this story, but it is a nice little insight for those who wanted to see the ‘what came next’.

Now, onto the good stuff.

As I’ve mentioned repeatedly, I’m a big lover of rock star romances. Mix a rock star romance with one of my favourite authors and I had extremely high expectations for this one. Fortunately, it more than delivered. Whether you’re a Siobhan Davis fan or a rock star romance fan, I’m positive this story will grab you tight and refuse to let go.

You see, although I adore rock star romances, I sometimes feel as though we’re not given anything new. With Incognito, we take a step back from the norm in the genre. Sure, we see some of the usual rock star romance tropes, but Siobhan Davis brings her own spin to the story. We have the usual abundance of emotion that you find in a Siobhan Davis read, we have scenes that are more in line with your typical college romance rather than your typical rock star romance, and we have an overall refreshing story.

Things are a little bit on the insta-love side of things, if I’m honest, and it did take me a few chapters to fall completely in love with the romance building between our leads, but once the story was going I was addicted. I feel in love with our characters and the drama that surrounded their lives, I feel in love with all the different emotions that came to light as we learned more about the different situations, and I feel in love with all the different events that played out. There was plenty of everything to keep you hooked – drama, some humour, emotion, action, and plenty of the wonderful romance Siobhan Davis is known for.

In fact, I’m willing to put this down as one of my favourite rock star romances. It really stood out as something different, ensuring it will remain with me for quite some time. Having read so many rock star romances and having some long-term favourites it is hard for any new book in the genre to knock my number one spot down to second place, but Incognito certainly earns a spot in my top ten. Actually, it earns a spot in my top five.

Without a doubt, Siobhan Davis has done it again. I could wax lyrical all day long about how wonderful this story is (or, at the very least, I could try, but I’m dubious about my ability to sound like anything other than a mess of a fangirl), but whatever I say will pale in comparison to the feels you will get throughout Incognito.

As I said, if you’re a fan of Siobhan Davis or rock star romances you need to read Incognito.
