There is so so so much to love about this book as Christine Fonseca brilliantly pens an intriguing mysteriously suspsenseful adventure full of beautiful dark gothic romance, danger, and amazing imagery that any reader is sure to fall in love with.
In Transcend, all seventeen-year-old composer Ien Montgomery desires is an escape from his family's rigid expectations for his life; someone to inspire his music. When he meets a beautiful violin-prodigy, Kiera McDougal, his life music takes on new life. With her, he imagines a future outside of his parents’ control. That is, until a horrible accident tears them apart.
Sent to die in a sanatorium, Ien’s obsession for Kiera grows unbearable. Tortured by thoughts he can’t escape and the truth of his monstrous disfigurement, he flees, desperate to exact revenge on the people that ruined his life – his parents. But, vengeance is empty. Betrayed by those closest to him, Ien discovers that the price for his happiness may be his sanity.
Set amidst the landscape of New York's Gilded Age, and inspired by Phantom of the Opera, TRANSCEND exposes the fine line between love and madness.

Transcend by Christine Fonseca
When Transcend was in its infancy, I played around with different stories and different points of view before really shaping the story into what it is now. One of the earliest versions featured a dual first person POV, alternating between Ien and Kiera. In this scene, we see, from Kiera’s POV, Ien’s accident and her reaction when she arrives on scene.
(**Note, author split the scene into three posts, see the link at the end for the next post).
Stop by My Head Stuck In A Book for the continuation of Kiera's scene.
