I really didn't know what to expect with this one. To me, Heather McCollum = Hunky Highlanders, albeit with a dash of paranormal, but this? Contemporary. YA. Fantasy. It was so different, but so very, very good! I absolutely loved it!

Jule Welsh has always had a beautiful bel canto voice that entranced listeners, as did her mother. But then her mother went crazy and stopped singing, and started spouting nonsense about Jule not being safe with the people she's known all her life. And the new guy in school started acting like he wants to rip her throat out every time she makes a sound. Sounds like just another day in the life of your average teenager!

This story might seem like it's your typical YA set-up, what with the brooding new guy and all, but it was soooo good and played out so differently to what I expected. I was pleasantly surprised by each new twist and turn, and really enjoyed the romance side of it too. It was excellent!

I highly encourage any fans of YA Paranormal/Fantasy looking for something new and fun to try this one. You won't be sorry!
