"Eighth Note" (Fire Ballad #1) is a truly phenomenal book. It's a spin off from the 'Roam' series and it prominently stars Eva, Will, Cole, along with West and brief moments with Roam. It revolves around Eva and Cole.Kim has done an amazing job right off the bat with giving a quick run down of Eva's life, which is helpful for anyone not having read the 'Roam' series. (I advise reading the entire series as it gives you a detailed background on all the characters and you'll have time to fall in love with them- well, MOST of them, too).This story is unique in the sense relating to Eva and her magical powers. I haven't read a book that comes close to the plot of "Eighth Note." There are so many spine-chilling moments in the book and with Kim's descriptive writing, I could visually see everything she was laying out there for the reader. It has a lot of macabre, horrifying events that take place and chilled me to the bone more than once, but I read on and on! (Quite a few 'Holy Sh*t' moments).Eva helps Cole out with a job- a murder mystery- that only these two could possibly solve, due to  them being immortals. The evil and torturing moments Eva endures is terrifying at best. It's a well-rounded story that, even amongst all the scary-creep-factor going on, still has some 'hot/lust' scenes with sarcastic wit tossed in the mix.There is so much that goes on in "Eighth Note" and I do not want to spoil anything but I assure you, it is the perfect read for getting into Halloween!
