Product Description
All seventeen-year-old composer Ien Montgomery desires is an escape from his family's rigid expectations for his life; someone to inspire his music. When he meets a beautiful violin-prodigy, Kiera McDougal, his life music takes on new life. With her, he imagines a future outside of his parents' control. That is, until a horrible accident tears them apart. Sent to die in a sanatorium, Ien's obsession for Kiera grows unbearable. Tortured by thoughts he can't escape and the truth of his monstrous disfigurement, he flees, desperate to exact revenge on the people that ruined his life - his parents. But, vengeance is empty. Betrayed by those closest to him, Ien discovers that the price for his happiness may be his sanity. Set amidst the landscape of New York's Gilded Age, and inspired by Phantom of the Opera, TRANSCEND exposes the fine line between love and madness.

| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Pure Artistry at its BEST!!, This review is from: Transcend (Kindle Edition) Where do I begin? Or better still, how do I go about even trying to write a review for a book that is a masterpiece? It would be like trying to describe the feeling you would get standing under the glorious roof of the Sistine Chapel. There really are no words that would justify that. This is exactly how I am feeling now *takes deep breathe to calm my beating heart* I am floored. I am completely and utterly blown away and I really must say that this is pure artistry at it's best. Christine Fonseca is a brilliant writer, who has a poet's heart and an artist's soul. I am in love with her words that move me in more ways than one. Before I continue though, I really want to thank Christine for providing me with an ARC copy of Transcend in exchange for my honest review, and I am completely honoured to have been given this opportunity. As soon as I knew about this book I feverishly wanted it and low and behold, I was graced with it. Thank you.Transcend really is a story filled...

I'm a sucker when it comes to Phantom, and was interested to see what she would come up with.Transcend by Christine Fonesca is a tale about Ien, a 17 year old young man, who is a musician, and falls in love with a violinist. He has an overbearing mother who criticizes everything about him, a brother who died in childhood, and a father who continually compares him to the brother who had died. After a tragic accident, Ien is horribly disfigured, and he fights his way back to the woman he loves. This book is not bad by any means, and I can see why other people have gravitated towards it. But for me, the continual switching between first person and third person made me feel disoriented in a way that didn't contribute to the story. Also, I figured out the big mystery of the story very early on, and because of that, felt like the rest dragged since it all builds up to that point. Ien's not a...
