Description

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky – Coming this summer from author and former dancer Lynn Slaughter is Leisha’s Song (June 22, 2021, Melange Books/Fire and Ice), a coming-of-age novel which explores the challenges of growing up when teens’ passions and dreams clash with parental expectations, as well as the role the arts play in building powerful connections that transcend racial and social class differences.
Leisha knows something’s wrong. Her beloved vocal coach at boarding school would never have resigned and disappeared like this in the midst of preparing her prize students for a major vocal competition. Leisha’s determined to find her, make sure she’s okay.
Cody, a sensitive cellist, insists on helping her. Sparks fly, clues multiply, and romance blossoms, despite the disapproval of their families.
Leisha’s desire to be with Cody and pursue music rather than medicine puts her on a direct collision course with her grandfather, the only parent she’s ever had. But an even more immediate threat looms—because as Leisha draws closer to the truth about her teacher’s disappearance, she puts her own life in grave danger.

Thank you to Books Forward for letting me read this!
I was hooked on this book! It was so fast-paced and the romance in it is so cute. I loved Leisha and Cody.
Leisha is such a strong female character and the story deals with very real-life events, with a bit of mystery thrown into the mix. I recommend this one!

Leisha's song was beautiful book. I really enjoyed reading it. I love it how the characters aren't stereotypical vise versa for example Leisha, main character.
I don't usually read this kind of books but this was perfect. It was interesting and kept me hooked from the first page.

I am reviewing a copy of Leisha’s Song through Melange Books/Fire and Ice and Netgalley:
Leisha knows something is not right. Her beloved vocal coach at boarding school would never have resigned and disappeared like this in the midst of preparing her prize students for a major vocal competition. Leaving Leisha determined to find her and make sure she’s okay.
Cody who is a sensitive cellist, insists on helping her. It isn’t long before Sparks fly, clues multiply, and romance blossoms, despite the disapproval of their families.
When Leisha desires to be with Cody and pursue music rather than medicine puts her on a direct collision course with her grandfather, the only parent she’s ever had. But an even more immediate threat looms, because as Leisha draws closer to the truth about her teacher’s disappearance, she ends up putting her own life in danger.
I give Leisha’s Song four out of five stars!
Happy Reading!

This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so captivating and had so many fun twists along the way. I love the fast moving plot which makes for a really fun read. The mix of romance and mystery was such a fun incorporation to advancing the plot!
We follow our main character Leisha who’s vocal teacher suddenly resigns leaving Leisha wondering if she’s ok. While trying to figure out what happened to her vocal teacher her relationship with Cody grows.
The characters in this books really make the story so great. Leisha comes to terms that by taking the risk to confess her love for Cody she opens up her life to new possibilities. Leisha and Cody make for such an amazing couple. They come from very different backgrounds but come together through love and music.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and was and loved the ending! It is such a fun read and I would definitely recommend!
