My Promise by Noah Bolinder

About the Book: 

On the outside, Grace Kelly’s life waiting tables in Philadelphia seemed pretty ordinary. If only she knew the truth. Following a painful breakup, a bizarre series of events involving a cryptic code lead her to move to an island on the West Coast of Canada where she is selected for an experimental course inside a castle. Taught by a nameless professor, no one seems to know what the class is about and Grace’s curiosity pushes her to find answers. Attempting to uncover the purpose of the course, Grace finds herself caught up in a journey to unlock an ancient mystery. Little does she know that this mystery has more to do with her than she ever imagined.

Like no story you have read before, each chapter of My Promise is written to a piece of music. This allows readers to immerse themselves within the emotion of the narrative. Will you find and decipher the codes hidden within the pages? Will the mystery make sense in the end? There’s only one way to find out…

My Review:

This was an interesting read and had elements to it that certainly makes one think in a more complex way. I loved the book overall--I did struggle a bit in the middle when the painting was being talked about. If you hang in there, it does make sense. I love the idea of the music to go with chapters, but it was a bit difficult for me to go back and forth between where I was reading and the beginning of the book to see what song to look up on YouTube. The ending of the story was richly beautiful and really touched my soul--definitely glad there will be another book with a continuation of the story!

I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
