Songbird

By: Angela Fristoe

Narrated by: Pamela Lorence

There are defining moments in life, when everything changes. For Dani Mays, it was the day she witnessed her father kill her brother. Now seventeen years-old, she still hasn't put it behind her. After Jace's death, she bounced between her alcoholic mother and foster homes, until she found a permanent place. She found a reason to want to stay: Reece Tyler. He's her best friend, yet Dani wants more from Reece.

Faced with losing Reece, Dani struggles to define his place in her life and escape the influence her memories of her brother's death have over her choices. Even as she weaves the pieces of her heart back together, the past becomes more than a memory when a former foster brother reappears and Dani begins receiving threatening phone calls.

Pretty Good. Narrator makes it better.

Okay, not my usual read. Also, I was able to figure out some of the "twists" ahead of time. Still, it was a nice story and one that my 20-something daughter will love. Overall, this might not stand out as a classic, but it is a good read.

For me, the highlight was the Pamela Lorence narration of the audio version. She really does a spectacular job.
