This was an intense story about what can go wrong in the astral plane when you’ve had an out of body experience –a bad experience that is. As someone who uses this knowledge through life and in my meditations—this concept scared me witless!
Visually written, and suspenseful, you’re lifted into another world where demons and hollow specter children, roam, waiting on your final days, and the love story that helps “Lenny” Lenora along, as she searches for a guitar string the shadow in the darkness stole from her, in order to be released from the demon’s grip. It won’t let her go! You won’t be able to let go until the release of the final page.

Broken Chords by Jessica Bayliss is a fast-paced, engagingly creepy novel. Lenny is worried about performing with Jeb again this year at Gypsy Cobb Music Festival after screwing things up last year. After her and her friends play around with astral projection, Lenny learns she has much more to be worried about, like staying alive.
This book is less than 200 pages in its entirety but that doesn't make it any less haunting. Bayliss uses creepy songs and other worldly creatures to help describe the place in between. The dark, demonic imagery will haunt you into the night. Mixed in with all of this creepiness is the relationship between Lenny and Jeb. Lenny has been avoiding Jeb for the past year until Gypsy Cobb where she must face him. Only to find out their relationship will become more than she ever imagined.
This creepfest of a book is a quick and easy read full of detailed descriptions, astral projection, and other worldly creatures. Perfect for anyone who loves scary stories with a touch of romance. I look forward to checking out Bayliss’s other books.
It took me a couple of chapters before I was truly hooked to the story. Once I was hooked though, it was hard to put down. Everything is happening so fast that you if you put it down, you feel as though you may miss something. There was a perfect amount of creepiness that it wasn't cheesy as some scary stories can be. The amount of romance was also perfect, not too much but not too little that it didn't play an important part of the story. The description of the demon and the Feeders makes them easy to imagine. As far as a rating goes, I give this book a 3.5/5.

Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I liked this book. It was easy to read, easy to get through, I liked the story and the fact that music is playing a large role. Their were some little things that I didn't really like so it wasn't a favorite but still very enjoyable and I would recommend this book if you like creepy stories.

A quick to read, creepy story that involves character development and a nice portion of love for music. It's not that long, you can easily read it and if you like horror, YA and a bit of romance, you should pick it up and give it a try!
