Date: 03 6, 2014
I have to admit that when I first ran across this novel I was intrigued from the start and that interest kept building the farther I got in the book. "Wraithsong" is a well-written and incredibly entertaining novel that mixes together romance, adventure, paranormal abilities and self-discovery into a story that keeps you sucked in from beginning to end. E. J. Squires has a gift for writing that shines through this novel, weaving authentic characters and strong dialogue into a compelling plot that makes you smile and sit on the edge of your seat in anticipation in equal turns.The novel centers around Sonia, a teen girl who has always felt different and has recently had that difference proved unequivocally. As she adjusts to a new perspective about herself Sonia gets caught up in strange events as people are killed and her mother is kidnapped... only an equally strange teenage boy by the name of Anthony there to help her get her mother back and find her place in this strange new world that has been opened to her.The author does an exceptional job of taking the reader on a fantastical journey, using her characters and strong dialogue to move the plot alone in interesting ways. The writing is vivid, fast-paced, refreshing and sweet but with a biting edge to it that really makes this novel all the more enjoyable.Overall, this was a fun and engaging read that sparked my interest and left me eager to see where Sonia's adventure will head next. I'll be eagerly awaiting the next book in the series and any other novels E. J. Squires releases because this was a great introduction to them as an author.
