I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Sound by is Serena’s story in series. Serena is the middle triplet, the smart, shy sister. She also has the ability to hear the future. As her and her sisters try to unravel the mystery surrounding their father’s disappearance, Serena begins to feel that it is a hopeless case. Trying to move on and get back to their lives proves to be difficult for all of them. When Serena is assigned a biology project with Lara and her brother Damon, studying winds up the least of their problems.

I really enjoyed Serena! She is a quirky character. She always has her head stuck in a book, she enjoys science and figuring things out, and she has a big heart. Her downside is her self-confidence which is fledgling at best. She’s kind if a bit backwards and she seems to really care about those around her.

Damon and Lara are great characters in addition to the sisters. If I thought that Serena was quirky, Lara is over the top, but it makes sense when you realize she has Asperger’s syndrome, a high-function form of Autism. The author did a wonderful job of conveying Lara’s disability without it disabling her. I liked the awareness that it brings to not just the main character but to the reader as well. Lara is quirky, she likes her lists, and she can/does have a breakdown every now and then. Damon makes a wonderful brother for Lara. He’s kind, caring, a bit of a goofball, but he loves his sister and will do anything for her. It’s no wonder Serena falls for him. I did too!

The plot revolves around ghosts haunting Damon and Lara’s house. When Serena firsts hears them, she wonders how in the world she will explain this to them, but she doesn’t have to. Instead they explain it to her. I LOVED this! It made for an interesting read as they explored what was in Damon’s house and how to rid themselves of it. Serena is probably my favorite sister so far in the series and she brings her scientific knowledge alone with her psychic powers to aid Damon and Lara.

Overall this is a really fun read. Serena is a wonderful, easy character to like and Damon and Lara make great side characters to the sisters. The plot of this one kept me on my toes too. With the first book, I easily guessed what was going on but not so with Sound. I was surprised over and over again all the way to the ending which by the way is a worse cliffhanger than the first!!! If you enjoy young adult fiction, urban fantasy, and a good paranormal mystery, than this is the book for you.
