Fans of the writings of Cassandra Clare, Claudia Gray, Kami Garcia, and Margaret Stohl have a new author to take notice of, E.J. Squires. Squires joins the ranks of these paranormal-romance greats head on with her thrilling new novel, Wraithsong. She perfectly weaves the old world and the new in her novel, so that readers never know what new creature they will be facing next. The action scenes the author has written are well thought out and exciting. The farther I read, the harder it was to put down, and I wasn't ready for it to end when I turned the last page.

As much as this story is about mythology and paranormal concepts it is also a coming of age story that young adults will recognize as the same changes that occur within everyone as they enter that frightening realm of adult life a time when anything can happen to alter the step into the new world. This is a well-written book that will appeal to a large audience of young adults, especially those who have followed such successes as the Twilight Series. Squires appears to have a bright career ahead.

At this point in time, I feel more than comfortable in saying that if I walked into a bookstore and saw this author's name on a book, I wouldn't even have to read the covers, I would buy it straight up. I have read enough to know that I will be pleased with what she writes. Anyone who is looking for a good romance, some Norse mythology and fantasy all mixed together, this is your book. Young and old alike, I even feel more than comfortable allowing my teenage daughter to read this book.

Wraithsong by E.J. Squires is an amazing story about a girl who, on top of being at a fragile age as a teenager, has to deal with secret powers that mess with her emotions and can either be her salvation or undoing. E.J. Squires' writing style and skill sets a tone and mood that perfectly fits the plot and the characters, each in their different way, bring this incredible story to life. The manner in which the story bounces between the contemporary setting and the fantasy world is done in such way that is very distinct and flawless, and adds to the excitement to give a thrilling reading experience. I totally enjoyed this page-turner and I cannot wait to pick up book II and see where the story goes from here.

I have read E.J. Squires debut novel Winter Solstice Winter before, and I immensely enjoyed it. When I learned about her new book, I had to make sure that I get a copy of this. Once again, I fell in love with her new book, Wraithsong - Desirable Creatures.

I'm not sure how to explain what I'm feeling at the moment without sounding like a young adult madly in love with a book, but I love everything about this! "Wraithsong", book 1 of Desirable Creatures is an action-packed YA fantasy book laced with humor; it's safe to say this is one of the best YA books this year. Characterization is very spot on, the plot itself is very interesting and I'd love to see it play on the big screen!
