About this listen
What Good Can Become of Psychotics, Meth Users, or the Mob?
In this sequel to Dark Star, rock star Everett Lester is eager to share the redeeming power of Christ's love with the world through his music. But reaching his family in their twisted lives is another issue altogether. His gambling-addicted brother, Eddie, and the rest of his deteriorating family greet Everett's attempts with disdain and hatred. When the Mob gets involved, dangerous threats become a haunting reality. And when Eddie's son, Wesley—who blames Everett for his brother's death—hooks up with psychotic Tony Badino, the two meth-using antichrists will stop at nothing to bring Everett down and secure his demise!
I ONCE SOWED DESTRUCTION.
Now those I love are reaping pain.
The media hype is fading, and my life is no longer that of a glamorous celebrity. I'm Everett Lester, former lead singer of DeathStroke, acquitted of first-degree murder, now married, a Christian, and ready to take my story to the masses through music. Problem is, the turmoil of my past didn't end when the reporters left.
My wife, Karen, and I have received news that has rocked our world. My brother Eddie's gambling is so far out of control that the mob practically owns him. And Eddie's son, Wesley—who blames me for his brother's death—is mixed up with meth, a psychotic named Tony Badino, and a satanic voice that's urging him to take me out.
Will my Living Water tour ever hit the road? Will former fans stop hissing long enough to hear about the transforming power of Christ's love? Satan once used me for evil—only through God's power can I be used for good. The question is: will my loved ones and I be able to survive the aftermath of a rock star's life?
Everett Lester faces enemies both human and supernatural. Satan won't give up his hold on Everett, his family, or his fans without a vicious fight. God's victory is certain in the supernatural realm, but will Everett survive the earthly battle that's threatening to obliterate him?
Story Behind the Book
“My hope is to provide fiction lovers with a page-turner read that offers an escape from everyday life. With a heart-pounding pace and a contemporary story line, Full Tilt paints readers a modern-day picture of Christ's unfathomable love, forgiveness, and sacrifice—amid a backdrop of methamphetamines and mobsters. It also sheds light on the reality of spiritual warfare in the day-to-day lives of every person. I pray this novel will encourage unsaved readers to be reconciled to God and also encourage Christian readers to plead with their unsaved friends to be reconciled to God—not out of legalism, but out of love and compassion.”

It was more than a break-in. More than a stalking. It was personal. When a stalker targets his family, journalist Jack Crittendon must uncover who the person is and what his motives are - if he is to protect the ones he loves. It will lead Crittendon into a world of behind-closed-door secrets and faith gone awry, as does his investigation of a missing pastor, whose apparent suicide is more than it appears.

His world is blown off its axis when he discovers a murdered homeless man with a bankbook in his pocket showing a balance of almost one million dollars.

In the spring of 1942, young Elzbieta Rabinek is aware of the swiftly growing discord just beyond the courtyard of her comfortable Warsaw home. She has no fondness for the Germans who patrol her streets and impose their curfews, but has never given much thought to what goes on behind the walls that contain her Jewish neighbors. She knows all too well about German brutality - and that it's the reason she must conceal her true identity. But in befriending Sara, Elzbieta makes a discovery that propels her into a dangerous world of deception and heroism.

Enjoyable but not fantastic
It took awhile to get through this book. I did enjoy it (Creston Mapes is superb), but I wasn’t compelled to keep listening because I was enraptured with the story. The narrator wasn’t as good as others, but I thought the way he said “Mr. Lestah” was funny. I hope the prequel has all this one lacked.

Nice Conclusion To "THE ROCK STAR CHRONICLES"
In the sequel to DARKSTAR, Ev and Karen's saga continues but much of the story is about their nephew Wesley. Wes has many problems~his parents, drugs, and even mobsters. Like the previous story, this too has a Christian theme~thoroughly enjoyed listening.

Enjoyed the story - narrator unable to voice many
Enjoyed the story - narrator unable to voice many of writer's expressions, etc. It was frustrating to hear because it was obvious how it was intended to be read, but narrator obviously was unable to say it that way. I don't get it ...

Multiple plot twists
Ovetall good, but, not as realistic as his other novels. Too preachy with long prayers, Bible verses, song lyrics.
Also would have made more sense for Wesley to have died in the fire.

It was okay.
I did really appreciate the Christian aspects of the book and wanted to like it a lot more but ended up just getting through it. I struggle with books where the plot depends on the stupidity of the protagonist. Bad luck I can accept, but when every shred of tension comes from yet another stupid decision I will eventually start rooting for the bad guys. This book didn't go that far, but Everett did make a number of decisions that no reasonable person would make. I also noticed a few things like a Honda becoming a Hyundai, a character pushing himself in a wheelchair only days after a severe injury that would have prevented that action, etc. So for me, two stars is "ok" three stars would be "good".

Good second book in the series
Is there anything you would change about this book?
As genres go this is not one that is for me. That is not the books fault, it is mine fore jumping out of my usual reading box. However, fans of Christian reads will eat this up with a spoon!
If you’ve listened to books by Creston Mapes before, how does this one compare?
It is very similar to the first book in the series in that there is a lot of Christian content. It is even more here because Lester is now looking to testify. It is deep and makes you think. I am sure many will find it very inspirational.
What aspect of Troy Klein’s performance would you have changed?
I enjoyed his read for the most part, there were some weird pitch things he did that were annoying. I was also not a fan of his deep pauses between sentences. I was a fan of his rich tone and would be interested to hear more of his work. I will give him credit for staying consistent throughout the read.
Any additional comments?
Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts,opinions and ratings are my own.
