Has anyone read Strange Sweet Song by Adi Rule? I need to swoon over Nathan with someone

[read-this-now]

Bitter. Angry. Paranoid. It doesn’t matter how you label Viveca North. Her focus is on academic excellence, not popularity. She’s always tried her best to be perfect, and now that she’s a senior, it’s time for all her hard work to pay off. The early-morning runs. The constant studying. The peer tutoring. It will all be worth it when she’s named valedictorian and finally granted admission to her dream school, the elite Everett College. Too bad Jamison Sharpe is trying to steal it from her…. Or is he? Jamison doesn’t need to try to be perfect. Everything seems to come so easily to him. He’s charming, funny, and has the ability to make anyone feel special. He has his pick of glowing college recommendations and his grades are flawless. Obviously Viveca is just jealous, right? Viveca knows something is off about Jamison. But as she investigates his past, she seems to find a web of lies and deceit that she struggles even to fathom. The further she goes in her quest for the truth, the more impossible her own dreams become. Will Viveca be able to take down her school’s golden boy and reveal him as a fraud? Or will she—and what she believes—be silenced by labels?

Mega reading list with memoir, fantasy, poetry

June 11 is Prime Day, so I thought I’d take a quick jaunt down memory lane then speed up to present day to share what I’m reading. The year was 2011, I had got one of the earlier versions of the Kindle as a high school graduation present. At home, I’d owned more than 600 books, all of which had been meticulously alphabetized and entered into a spreadsheet with title, author and genre. But, those…

Strange Sweet Song Adi Rule

Strange Sweet Song 

Una joven soprano se inscribe en una remota academia de música donde nada, ni siquiera su misterioso y joven entrenador vocal, es lo que parece.

Fuera del Conservatorio Dunhammond, se encuentra un bosque oscuro. Y en el bosque, dicen que vive una gran bestia llamada Felix. Pero Sing da Nevelli nunca puso mucha fe en los rumores y mitos que rodean a la escuela; la música fluye en sus venas y está allí para cantar de verdad. Esta prestigiosa academia finalmente le dará la oportunidad de demostrar su valía, no como la hija de músicos de renombre mundial, sino como una artista y protagonista en su propio derecho.

Sin embargo, a pesar de sus mejores esfuerzos, parece haber algo faltante en su voz. Sus dudas sobre su propio talento son resaltadas por el hecho de que es elegida como la suplente en la producción escolar de su ópera favorita, Angelique. Angelique fue escrita en Dunhammond y la leyenda dice que su compositor fue inspirado por el bosque que rodea a la escuela, un lugar lleno de historia, magia y peligro. Pero, ¿fue todo producto de su imaginación o las figuras fantásticas de la obra son más que imaginarias?

Sing debe trabajar con el misterioso aprendiz Nathan Daysmoor como su entrenador vocal, quien es su crítico más duro y acérrimo defensor al mismo tiempo. Pero Nathan tiene secretos propios, secretos que están entrelazados con los mitos y leyendas que rodean a Dunhammond y la gran criatura que dicen que vive allí.

I’m honestly not sure what to make of Strange Sweet Song. It has an interesting premise, with a vague Phantom of the Opera-esque feel to it. It has paranormal aspects (almost always a good thing). Add in a competitive Arts Conservatory and my interest is definitely peaked. But something isn’t sitting right with me. And I just realized what it is. The plot isn’t the problem: it’s the characters. I…

I finished a book I didn't expect to love as much as I do, so obviously I'm crying and not sleeping. But, I think I'm going to try for sleep so I can try to spend a little more time with Sing and Nathan and Tamino and the Felix... Just a little.
