Melodic Torment

by Marvelle Petit

Alice is a struggling actress with a peculiar part time job – reading and singing to Johan, a mysterious man whose face she has yet to see. When he spontaneously reveals himself to her, they begin an awkward, yet sweet romance. As their relationship develops, inexplicable things occur with startling frequency. Despite the warnings of those around her, she pries into his deepest secrets and uncovers a pernicious world hidden for centuries. Nathaniel is a successful actor with a secret that haunts the darkest crevices of his being. After centuries of living alone, a chance meeting with Alice brings a chance for redemption. Centuries past come to a head as the three struggle to conquer their sins and save a dying world.

Not at all what I was expecting! The story was engrossing and there was much more to it than a simple love triangle. What I enjoyed most about this book is that it jumped right into the story. Often I find the first half of the first book in a series to be hard to get through because the author feels the need to give a ton of exposition. This wasn't the case at all with Melodic Torment - we learned about the characters as we learned the story which made the pacing perfect. I can't wait to read the next book!
