** *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.** *His music is like nothing I have ever heard. It is like the ocean surging, the wind that blows across the open water, the far call of gulls.* **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.  *We have paved over the ancient world but that does not mean we have erased it. *The real *and the mystical; the romantic and the heartbreaking all begin to swirl together in *All Our Pretty Songs, *Sarah McCarry's brilliant debut, carrying the two on journey that is both enthralling and terrifying. ** **And it’s up to the narrator to protect the people she loves—if she can. ** *words : 67260
