The first book in an exciting YA trilogy, this is the story of two best friends on the verge of a terrifying divide when they begin to encounter a cast of strange and mythical characters.
Set against the lush, magical backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, two inseparable best friends who have grown up like sisters—the charismatic, mercurial, and beautiful Aurora and the devoted, soulful, watchful narrator—find their bond challenged for the first time ever when a mysterious and gifted musician named Jack comes between them. Suddenly, each girl must decide what matters most: friendship, or love. What both girls don’t know is that the stakes are even higher than either of them could have imagined. They’re not the only ones who have noticed Jack’s gift; his music has awakened an ancient evil—and a world both above and below which may not be mythical at all. The real and the mystical; the romantic and the heartbreaking all begin to swirl together, carrying the two on journey that is both enthralling and terrifying.
And it’s up to the narrator to protect the people she loves—if she can.
This sounds like a different take on a love triangle especially when it’s between two best friends who are almost sisters. I like love triangles when they’re done and I can’t wait to find out more about this one.
What do you think about my pick for Waiting on Wednesday this week?
The cover is BEAUTIFUL! I love it, and I would buy it even if I didn’t want to read it. But I do. I really really do. It sounds like it could be a truly fantastic book. Here’s hoping!
wow the cover alone just caught my attention (and yes I do judge a book by its cover) but its true what you said a different take on a love triangle… alright got to keep this in mind and add to my TBR (my ever going TBR list)
Yay I’m glad Melissa
I’ve seen this one around a little and am intrigued but hesitant. One of my least favorite kinds of love triangles is with brothers so I’m not sure I’ll like it with friends who are almost sisters.
I can understand your hesitation, but it sounds soo good
I loved book cover, can’t wait^^
I also hadn’t heard of this one, but off to add to my wishlist.
That’s what’s great about this meme isn’t it?
Haven’t heard of this one yet. Thanks for the introduction! On the fence if I’d like it. I guess I’ll wait to see reviews:) Thanks!
You’re most welcome Erika!
I agree. Different. I can’t decide if I’m interested though. The summary needs more for me to commit for sure….right now I’m a maybe. Happy reading.

No worries Ange
you don’t always have to be interested in all my picks..it’s great that it’s out there right?!
EEPS! This sounds amazing
Definitely adding this one – I love a love triangle done right too!! And the friends-like-sisters will absolutely add a new element. Thanks so much for sharing & stopping by my WoW too 
I really hope the love triangle is done right
*crosses fingers*
Oh, man, what a gorgeous cover!
seriously. GORGEOUS.
And it doesn’t sound so bad, well except for the love triangle, which I hate, but the music intertwining with the paranormal stuff = awesome.
Lots of people are hating on the love triangle lol
I’m really into this one. Bummed it’s a series, but it sounds SUPER good. I like that it’s a realistic/paranormal cross-up.
My WoW
It sounds like a stand-alone doesn’t it?!

Love that it’s set in the Pacific Northwest! I think the contrast between the two main characters will make for a great backdrop for the love-triangle aspect, too. Great pick!

This one has been on my wishlist for forever! I’m really hoping that the love triangle here is done right… and I always seem to fall for any characters named Jack, hee hee… Can’t wait! Great pick
I agree, this one does sound awesome. I think the friend aspect will definitely add to the story. Great pick!
OMG this sounds really good. A love triangle with 2 girls and a boy instead of the usual 2 boys and a girl. Definitely worth checking out!
Oh I havent heard of this one before but it sounds great! Thanks for stopping by my WoW
Teresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
I abhor love triangles so this may be one that I’ll avoid. Sounds like an interesting story otherwise.
This one is brand spankin new to me. I hadn’t heard of it before. Nice pick.

Great cover, too. Thanks for sharing.

I came across this one a few days ago. It sounds great!
I’m not sure about this one. I like to avoid love-triangles whenever I can, even though I have seen some that worked.
