She’s a typical-if shy-sophomore navigating the slings and arrows of high school life with her two best friends, Royal and Cassie. It was very distracting.Welcome to Braedyn Murphy’s life. I definitely give this book 5 STARS!! **The only problem I had was in one chapter, the audio overlapped itself a few times. It was very true to reality, and I liked that. The teenagers in the book are pretty much just like the teenagers I run into at the store. Thankfully, Jennifer Quintenz did not have this problem. Teenagers today are a lot more grown up than they used to be, and listening to/reading books with super whiny teenagers just drive me crazy. I love how the author doesn’t fall into the trap of the whiny teenagers. Having her body change uncontrollably and in an unwanted, but sudden, way is just one more thing that she has to deal with. Being told that she can’t be with the guy she wants, and not being able to tell him why, is an awful thing for a girl with her first crush. Braden is introduced to the world of Lilitu, or sirens, and her entire life is flipped on its head. Starts out with a pretty normal teenage girl about to turn 16: small group of friends, dealing with the bully cheerleaders at school along with the jocks, and suddenly running into a hot guy who makes her flush. Inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian myths of Lilith and her offspring, Thrall explores first love, strong friendships, and taking on adult responsibilities against the backdrop of powerful supernatural forces and life-and-death stakes. And as for 'good' and 'evil' - it all depends on how we choose to act. Her father is a member of the Guard fighting against the Lilitu - and so are the new neighbors, including her crush, Lucas.Īs her world starts to unravel at the seams, Braedyn learns the right answers aren't always clear or easy.
