Despite its flaws, it seems like an interesting read for teens, especially if they are into music. I love the association between paranormal and music. Great review!

Supernatural powers, plot twists, and well-developed characters; I'm sold. It sounds like great fun to read even with the editing issues. I enjoyed your review, as always.

I believe music is powerful, just not in the way this author writes about. It was unique and fun. I loved it! Thanks.

Thanks for your interesting review. Supernatural powers coming from sound are quite interesting, and the well-crafted cast is a plus. Still, I guess it's better if the plot is more logical.

This story sounds unique and I like that the characters are engaging one complex. It definitely takes away from it that some moments are unrealistic and hard you out of the moment in the book. Thank you for your honest review!

Yes, but those moments were few. Overall, it's a great story. Very well done. The errors just needed to be fixed. Thanks.

I'll have my 40th birthday this year. *gasp* The young adult genre still makes me feel young. I love it! Thanks.
