Serenade by Morgan Shamy (Spotlight Post)
Introducing Morgan Shamy’s Serenade
Hey guys,
Welcome back to Bookish Beyond. I hope you’re having an amazing week so far.
Today, I’d like to introduce you to the work of a wonderful author, Morgan Shamy.
One of Morgan’s older books, The Redpoint Crux has appeared in our past reviews and can be found HERE.
Now, Morgan is due to publish a new paranormal fantasy mystery novel, entitled Serenade, with the book in question being due for release come May 31st of this year.
Serenade is itself a spellbinding tale about a musical prodigy school, a tortured pianist, ballroom dancing, and ghosts.
To give you a better idea of what this fascinating tale is all about, I’ve included the full blurb below.
Full Blurb
St. Paul’s Academy of the Arts isn’t your usual boarding school.
When November Huntington is sent away to live with her long-lost family, she’s forced to attend a music school for the gifted—which wouldn’t be a problem if November were musical. She’s an athlete through and through, and hates being different.
The kids at the school don’t welcome her, they’re wary of her presence, especially Vincent, a brooding teenage boy involved with dark spirits, who can make time stop when he plays his piano. In fact, all her classmates are obsessed with playing their instruments. And odd things happen when they do.
But something is off about the school. Deaths have occurred through the years, students showing up dead the same way November’s parents were killed—with their throats ripped out.
A killer is on the loose. November must figure out a way to stop whoever it is, balance her feelings for Vincent, and solve her parents’ past before she, too, is numbered among the dead.
Who is Serenade an ideal read for?
Serenade is an ideal read for those looking for a gripping young adult fantasy novel with both paranormal and mystery elements.
