Book Review: The Monsters of Music by Rebecca F. Kenney

     What if some parts of fairy-tales were true and yet more complicated than we ever imagined? What if the muses of old were real and could increase your potential? That and more is a possibility. Mel is a muse and the pent up power within her is driving her crazy. In order to release it she must find a protégé. Her biggest problem? She is terribly scarred due to acid being poured on her face. The best place to combat this, of course, is a singing competition. Here she finds the ever adorable Kiyo Darcy.
     That is right, a real live Mr. Darcy. Except he is awkward and shy. He has amazing potential, but needs help to be the best he can be. With the help of his voice coach, Erin, he is sure to exceed every expectation. With a little bit of help, a lot of talent, and dash of love Voices Rising is sure to be a huge hit.
      What can I say, I am a fool for young adult novels. This book was a great blend of tragedy, comedy, and romance. All things that play a part in the theater. The songs within the book were relevant to now, and I knew most of the titles. This book was a fun read and one I suggest to all ages. There is just enough "sexy" in it for adults and the thrill of the singing competition for the teens. In this book I hated someone, as the author intended, until she decided that that person wasn't for hating after all.
     All in all I look forward to finding more books like this in the future and hope that others can enjoy this modern day phantom of the opera style book as much as I did.
