About this ebook

What could you create if you fell in love with a Muse?

16-year-old musician, Sylvia Baker, has always been different. She's the only one who can see the "flickering people." When she sees a gorgeous flickering man named Vincent, she learns that they are Muses.

With his help, she finds herself creating exquisite songs that she loves almost as much as songs by her favorite bands--Radiohead, M83, and The Black Keys--and she is falling in love in a way she never knew was possible. While trying to maintain her newfound friendships and her band, she falls deeper into the world of the Muses.

When the original Greek Muses wake to find a world in which the internet has given everyone the tools to be an artist, a battle between traditional and new methods of creation ensues. As Sylvia discovers how she is connected to the world of the Muses, she learns that this war may put her music, her love, her very life at stake.

This young adult urban fantasy romance was a semi-finalist in the YA Books Central 2017 Awards in the "All the Feels" category

Uses band names and song titles as if they were emojis to indicate the protagonist's emotions, which fails to work. It's more like endless inside jokes. More brand names thsn an infomercial, again detracting from the plot.

Actually original and very well written. Wonderful characters get you emotionally invested in the story. Unlike alot of YA,everything is not all sweetness and light. There are uncomfortable situations that are not neatly resolved. Just like real life. I don't want to give anything away,just suffice it to say that it is well worth it to invest a few hours of your time. You will never look at your favorite artists the same way again. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was truly a unique experience. The story was connected to a musical playlist that helped to make the story more life and allowed me to listen to music that I had never heard before and that I really like. I'm looking forward to reading the next two books in the series and to continuing the musical adventure.
