Resumen del Editor

Their love for music sparked a curse....

Lark Espinoza could get lost in her music - and she's not so sure anyone in her family would even care to find her. Her trendy, party-loving twin sister and her mother-come-lately Beth, who's suddenly sworn off men and onto homemaking, don't understand her love of cassette tapes, her loathing of the pop scene, or her standoffish personality. For outcast Lark, nothing feels as much like a real home as working at Bubble's Oddities store and trying to attract the attention of the cute guy who works at the Vinyl shop next door - the same one she traded lyrical notes with in class.

Auden Ellis silences the incessant questions in his own head with a steady stream of beats. Despite the unconditional love of his aunt-turned-mother, he can't quit thinking about the loss of his parents - or the possibility he might end up afflicted with his father's issues. Despite his connection with lyric-loving Lark, Auden keeps her at arm's length because letting her in might mean giving her a peek into something dangerous.

When two strangers arrive in town, one carrying a mysterious, dark object and the other playing an eerie flute tune, Lark and Auden find that their painful pasts have enmeshed them in a cursed future. Now, they must come to terms with their budding attraction while helping each other challenge the reflection they see in the mirror. If they fail, they'll be trapped for eternity in a place beyond reality.

Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Pretty in Pink. Set in 1985, Lyrics & Curses is full of nostalgia, romance, mystery, and a story like no other.

A Curse, the Pied Piper - and love

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator did a great job bringing this story to life.

This story kept me wanting to know what happened next. I enjoyed watching Lark and Auden grow and individuals and together. I loved the throw back to the 80's throughout the story.

Then, enter the tragic twist, the curse and 2 mysterious characters who have a story of their own. I can't wait to lean more about their past.

My heart broke at certain points in the book. I cheered on Lark and Auden. Through their trials and self doubt, Lark and Auden rose and grew.

I am ready for book 2!

pretty good

I really loved that this was set in the 80's. I was definitely a creative, mysterious and fun story to hear

Enjoy the blast from the past

I really liked the concept but I’m so confused! It didn’t help that the characters had similar names. It didn’t really kick into gear until toward the end and then it felt like there should’ve have been more explanation to the paranormal aspect. It kind of gave me the whole Stranger Things Upside Down vibes. I did enjoy the blast from the past 80s style.

I did enjoy the narrator overall but sometimes it was hard to distinguish between the characters.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Life in the 80s.

The narrator, Candace Robinson did a wonderful job portraying both of the main characters, Auden and Lark. Her voice kept my attention listening to Lyrics and Curses.
This book was set in the 80s and I really enjoyed it some of the references. I love Auden and Lark’s friendship. I was invested in their storyline. I did struggle with the paranormal plot. I wish there was a bit more of a explanation in regards to the curse, or even a bit more information
about the doppelgängers.
I felt like there were some plot holes, but hoping it will be better in the next book. I really enjoyed the narrator. She definitely elevated the story for me. Clever use of the title name to be apart of the story as well.

Fantastic story!!

Wow, this was a great read!!
Lyrics & Curses by Candace Robinson is a very unique and well written tale. I absolutely loved all the great 80's music references!! Lark and Auden made for two great characters and the audio narration was perfect!!
