I'm going to be completely honest here and tell you this was my first time reading a YA Fantasy book ( not usually a genre that I read).
That being said, I can not give you a comparison to other books in this genre. What I will give you is my honest review of this book. I can also tell you based off this book I will be adding YA Fantasy to my list of book genres that I will be reading a lot more of.

About the book
Follow the music if you want to live.
Eight years ago, Fiona was just a kid. But everything changed the night the Pit Viper came to town. Sure, he rid the quiet, idyllic suburb of Hamm of its darkest problems. But Fiona witnessed something much, much worse when the town drove him away.
And now, the Pit Viper is back.
Fiona's not just a kid anymore. She can handle the darkness she sees in the Pit Viper, a DJ whose wicked tattoos, quiet anger, and hypnotic music seem to speak to every teen in town.. except her. She can handle watching as each of her friends seems to be overcome, nearly possessed by the music. She can even handle her unnerving suspicion that the DJ is hell bent on revenge.
But she's not sure she can handle falling in love with him.
Book Blurb
"It's you". Fiona froze. That voice.
In a dressing room illuminated by mirror lamps, he sat on a folding chair. His hoodie had been tossed to the floor, revealing a taut physique more knotted together than chiseled, absolutely covered in tattoos of looping concentric circles and ancient runic characters. But for all the new muscles, new location, and the new way he made her feel when she looked at him, the Pit Viper's eyes were the same shimmering orbs that had watched Fiona as she'd approached him with an apple in her hand that night.
"It is you." He said, his voice dark and smooth, like a black diamond, " isn't it"?
Fiona wanted to play it cool, to pretend like she barely remembered him, but that was impossible. Her heart raced. Her head spun. " Yes," she said, her eyes locked on his. " Of course it is."

Review
I saw this book at the store and couldn't resist buying it based on the title and cover. I'm so happy I bought this book. It has a nice steady pace and relatable characters that you will love. The main character Fiona is someone everyone can identify with no matter what age you are. She has a tight knit group of friends but still feels like she doesn't quite belong for some reason which is something I believe everyone can relate to at some point in their life. I was intrigued by the plot because it was music and that is one of the reasons I chose to buy this book. As a huge fan of music I couldn't wait to see where this story would go. When we first see Fiona she's just a child and is a witness to something no child should see. As the story progresses we discover that small towns and their residents hide some pretty dark secrets. Fiona's only escape is in her music but will that passion be used as a weapon against her? Fiona thinks she has everything figured out but everything begins to unravel and it's up to her to save her friends and the town she can't wait to leave. This book also gives an honest look at the relationship between parents and their children and just how far parents are willing to go to protect their children. I read this book cover to cover in one day, Yes! It really is that good
. I highly recommend this book.
