‘Something happened between us as we were playing, I felt it. From him to me, an energy passed back and forth.
“That was good,” Leo whispered to me as I stumbled off the stage, still shaking. “It was kind of incredible. You’ll win that scholarship.”
I could only stare directly ahead and clutch my violin even tighter. If I didn’t, I felt I might drop it. Down it would fall, neglected, while I grabbed at Leo and begged him to tell me: what just happened?
You did something to me in there. That’s what I’d say to him. I want to know what. And then I want you to do it again.’ A paranormal romantic thriller from the author of the EMANCIPATED trilogy (HarperTeen) – The Omen meets Twilight.
Set in the autumnal, ivy-covered old campus of an elite music academy, the story of Leo and Miranda blends the buzz of becoming a world-class musician with the stab of a deadly first love.
Music, mystery and murder intertwine in this tale of the occult. A gothic romance with a supernatural twist.
A message from author M. G. Reyes (author of the EMANCIPATED trilogy, Katherine Tegen Books/HarperTeen).
When I was a teenager and still too young to be allowed to see the OMEN movies I devoured the novelizations. I borrowed an uncle’s well-worn paperbacks of the occult novels of Dennis Wheatley, too. SONATA is the kind of story I dreamed of reading back then – a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ style of romance where the ‘beastly’ aspect comes from a dark, supernatural place. In a school. Because who doesn’t love a boarding school romance? 😉
