HTML:Music, myth, and horror blend in this romantic, "eerie...atmospheric" (Publishers Weekly) fantasy debut about a teen girl who must fight a powerful evil that's invaded her Prince Edward Island homeâ??perfect for fans of An Enchantment of Ravens. There's a certain wild magic in the salt air and the thrum of the sea. Beet MacNeill has known this all her life. It added spice to her childhood adventures with her older cousin, Gerry, the two of them thick as thieves as they explored their Prince Edward Island home. So when Gerry comes up the path one early spring morning, Beet thinks nothing of it at first. But he is soaking wet and silent, and he plays a haunting tune on his fiddle that chills Beet to the bone. Something is very, very wrong. Things only get worse when Marina Shaw saunters into town and takes an unsettling interest in Gerry's new baby. Local lore is filled with tales of a vicious shape-shifting sea creature and the cold, beautiful woman who controls himâ??a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Marina.

DNF'd at 30%.
Unfortunately this book wasn't for me. It took me two weeks and a lot of struggling to make it as far as 30% into this book. It's very folklore-y, in the sense that it's a slow, winding story with lots of descriptions that had me wondering where the tangents were going and what the point was. Some people like that style of writing, but I just couldn't shovel through it. After the gorgeous cover, I was also expecting the violin to be more involved than it ended up being, which was another disappointment for me.
Since what I didn't like was mostly stylistic, I do think this could be a book that others enjoy. Just be wary if you prefer books with tension or drama because this is a very slow and meandering book.
