A nice mix of story, rock music, and mythology

In Dark Muse, Simms uses story, setting, classic music, and characters to weave a powerful and well-structured lyrical fairy tale fraught with danger, choices, and young innocent love amidst the realities of prejudice and broken families. The unconventional “special needs” characters prove their strength and resilience as they use their musical ability and instruments to battle murderous creatures in a legendary world.

You won't want to put this down

I started this book on a Tuesday and was so engrossed in it I finished it by Wednesday morning. If you play music or just like listening to music (classic rock for this tale) , I definetely recommend it. Through mere words you hear the music in this tale. I am patiently trying to await the sequel.
