SONATA
|
17-year-old Miranda is facing the biggest audition of her life - a shot at a violin scholarship to the prestigious Harkness Conservatory.
When her accompanist doesn't show up, it looks like the end of her dreams - until Leo, a piano student, offers to help. Leo is intense, patient, gorgeously French and he plays like a dream. Performing the Kreutzer Sonata with him goes beyond anything Miranda has experienced.
But while she's impressing the panel, another audition candidate goes missing. From that moment something disturbing seeps into Miranda life. Did the music draw in the forces of darkness? Or was it already within her?
Miranda and Leo travel to a medieval town in France to perform in a prize-winners' concert, oblivious to the ongoing search for the missing teenager. Their attraction intensifies, but there's more to Leo than meets the eye - and it's not all good news.
Miranda is warned off, yet it may already be too late. A secretive, ancient sect can protect her, but how can she accept their help when she can't quite accept that she's in danger?
After all - some deals are irresistible.
'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? ;)
