When urban meets fantasy!!!! This novel was the perfect combination of everything thrilling, action-packed, and filled with so much adventure. It had a fascinating plot, witty banter, and snappy dialogue that I found humorous. It may initially come off like YA because of the main MC’s but once the story picks up you’ll feel otherwise.

Nola also known as the Hidden City powered by music and the place where the dead and living coexist was on the verge of being destroyed. It’s up to Perry, his sister Brendy, and best friend Peaches to return the lost songs before the town loses its rhythm.

The novel is told from multiple POVs and with there being so many characters it’s easy to get a little confused. But trust me everything will eventually make sense by the end.

The character development was superb all of them had so much personality and pizzazz. Brendy had to be my favorite. Only a kid but she was sharp, sassy, independent, and hilarious. I also liked Peaches a lot too she was funny, wild and courageous.

The twist at the end was well placed definitely didn’t expect it. Kind of hope there is a sequel coming after this. Everything was so vivid, the characters, the different dimensional realms, bringing the music to life was so creative.

Overall, I loved this book so if you like fantasy novels with elements of magic, music, supernatural beings, or sorcery this book is definitely for you. If you’ve ever read “The Monsters We Defy” by Leslye Penelope then I think you’d enjoy reading this too.
