***************
Maddie Martin's first weekend at college is nothing like she's used to. It's wild, like the wilderness on which the University of Bellam Springs sits. Roped into going to a fraternity party, she literally runs into Kyle Hadley. The boy she's loved since she was nine. The boy she promised all of her firsts to. But that was before his father killed her parents.
Determined to stay away from him, she throws herself into her music. Practicing piano eases her heavy heart, calms the sadness, and pushes away images of Kyle's face.
Until it doesn't.
Her music professor asks her to play a duet for their annual Winter Gala. Doing so means she'll be assured another full ride scholarship. It's an opportunity she can't pass up.
But Kyle is the other half of the duet. And that means hours and hours of practicing.
Weeks of seclusion - just the two of them. And it's more than just music. It's passion like Maddie never believed was possible.
The inevitable happens. She falls in love with him all over again.
But, will loving him be enough to erase all the hate in her heart for his father? Can she look at him, and not see the evil in his family tree?
And maybe it's all a set up. Maybe Kyle is only pretending to care so he can finish what his father started, and kill her too.
The tattoo studio is covered in art.I couldn't connect with the characters, I just couldn't.
I couldn't get on board with Maddie getting a tattoo every year on the anniversary of her parent's death. I couldn't handle Kyle being a complete douchebag tool on the outside, but longing for Maddie on this inside.
They ran into each other at a fraternity party and then spent the next few chapters ignoring each other. Maddie would avoid him, he'd act like an asshole to the women he was with. It was unbelieavble and I couldn't get into it in anyway.
Nothing even really happened. Maddie went to class, Kyle acted like a creep.
I'm a fan of Workman's Blood and Snow series and I'm intrigued by the Cindy Chronicles, but Touching Melody was just not the book for me.
