I have read E.J. Squires debut novel Winter Solstice Winter before, and I immensely enjoyed it. When I learned about her new book, I had to make sure that I get a copy of this. Once again, I fell in love with her new book, Wraithsong - Desirable Creatures.This is certainly a change from most YA/Fantasy/Mythology romances I have read recently. I actually bit my nails in anticipation while turning the pages.Although the story started a bit slow, Sonia being the subject of bullying at school (while controlling her temper) and having a no-kissing rule to follow, the action becomes tensed and intense when she meets Anthony, her mysterious weeding partner. Yup, it's weeding, as in tending the school garden by removing grasses or weeds around the plants. This is Sonia's punishment after she spits on her bully's face. Oh what a feisty one, she really is.But things have gotten different when she discovers about her hidden gift and the truth about herself.'Tis my first time to actually read a story about the mystical and enchanting Huldras (I only know about this desirable creature in the Norse books I boorowed in our library). EJ Squires was able to capture their beauty and captivated me. I highly recommend Wraithsong to all YA readers who love some Norse myths injected to the story. I assure you all, you won't be able to put it down.
