All Our Pretty Songs

the long version

**This is a story about love, but not the kind of love you think. You’ll see…** In the lush and magical Pacific Northwest live two best friends who grew up like sisters: charismatic, mercurial, and beautiful Aurora, and the devoted, watchful narrator. Each of them is incomplete without the other. But their unbreakable bond is challenged when a mysterious and gifted musician named Jack comes between them. Suddenly, each girl must decide what matters most: friendship or love. What both girls don’t know is that the stakes are even higher than either of them could have imagined. They're not the only ones who have noticed Jack’s gift; his music has awakened an ancient evil—and a world both above and below which may not be mythical at all. And it’s up to the narrator to protect the people she loves—if she can. Source: Sarah McCarry
