Blurb
Like a depressed moth drawn to a wild flame, Chris
hoped that flame would brighten his life, not burn him alive.
Chris Sinclair fades into a grey world after losing
his mother to cancer. When forced to attend a concert as a last attempt to
coax him out of his shell, he discovers that life might not be as bleak as
he first thought.
When Chris is offered the job of traveling around
Europe with the famous violinist, he surprises himself by accepting. With
no idea what awaits him, he's thrown into a world where emotions rule and
rules are bent.
They're a perfectly dysfunctional match, but then
there's always calm at the heart of the storm.
Author Bio
Raised in one of the cold corners of the world,
Avylinn spends her days either wrapped up in a blanket or basking in the
precious sunlight. When she can’t choose herself, she’s holed up in an office
working with climate research that has little to do with the worlds and
characters she creates in her vivid dreams.
Always the emotional one, she has found her outlet
in writing, voicing thoughts, emotions and fears through her characters
that feel very much alive to her. And, what began as a hobby soon took more and
more time in her life until she realized that she had left her old life
behind and entered a new one where her emotions turned into a super
power—ready to launch at her poor readers.
She recharges with the help of coffee, cinnamon
buns, popcorn and occasionally a healthier alternative.

Review
This isn't really a review but I was given a copy of Volatile so I'm going to say a few words.
I really enjoyed Avylinn's writing style. I found the story easy to get into and easy to read. The main characters were young, but interesting, although, I have to admit to preferring my MCs a little older, like myself. Being young, they made mistakes with each other's feelings, both before and after they got together. The end felt a little rushed to me, and I did feel a little peeved at the sex being off story.
With the youth of the characters, and the lack of sex on the page, the story had the feel of a young adult novel - which in itself is a good thing.
Would I recommend the story? - absolutely.
Will I read more by this new author? - yes
