"Rendered mute at birth, Portia Griffin has been silent for 16 years. Music is her constant companion, along with Felix, her deaf best friend who couldn't care less whether or not she can speak. If only he were as nonchalant about her newfound interest in the musically gifted Max Hunter. But Portia's silence is about to be broken with the abrupt discovery of her voice, unparalleled in its purity and the power it affords to control those around her. Able to persuade, seduce and destroy using only her voice, Portia embarks on a search for answers about who she really is, and what she is destined to do. Inspired by Homer's "Odyssey," "Silent Echo" is an epic story filled with fantasy, romance and original music."--Page 4 of cover.

Ahh... Well, I really wanted to love this book, but it's so hard when the main character annoys you to no end. The book started off great, with a normal (albeit mute) girl and her deaf best friend. Then boom: insta-love, mary sue & a story that doesn't feel coherent. At first the story was too slow and then suddenly it was too fast. Most of the characters were only given very little time and I feel like I couldn't connect with most of them. The book was great up until the incident at Charlotte's house but after that it went downhill.
I'm not a poetry connoisseur by any definition, but the lyrics and poems in this book were so cringe-worthy, I'm so sorry to have to say that because they probably took a lot of time to write, but they just came across as quite juvenile and silly....
