My Rating – 2 3/4 Stars I received a free digital copy of this novel from Netgalley on behalf of Diversion Books in exchange for a fair review Portia Griffin can’t speak. She has never been able to speak though doctors can’t figure out why. She has been able to lead a pretty normal life, despite...
This book was given to me from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I need to disclose that this was NOT A FINISHED COPY! Some of this book could have changed by the publishing date.That being said, I will go on with my review. First off, I did not finish this book. Normally I don't revie...
Actual rating: 0.5 starsThis review is also posted on my blog at Thoughts and PensBefore we proceed to the actual review, here's an attempt to put some accurace into the blurb!Silent Echo, a wannabe Glee meets Greek Mythology parody tale, is the ultimate modern day coming-out-from-a-loony bin story....

That’s what I thought I would be giving this book when I first read the description. A mute girl whose best friend is deaf? I was already sold. But I was extremely disappoi...
Portia Griffin, a girl who has not had a voice for the past sixteen years, discovers she does have one, after all--but that it isn't exactly natural. She, along with those close to her, must face the consequences of her startling lineage. There's Felix, with whom she shares a powerful bond, and the ...
God’s that text? Mythological beings getting played by autocorrect? Dionysus with a MacBook?Does all that get your nerdy blood flowing? Then you’ve come to the right place.I, for one, love Greek Mythology. It’s something that is completely interesting to me and I’ve always wished was real. (And it m...
Couldn't finish. Didn't start out too badly, pretty interesting, until the lyrics, poetry and insta love started. I'm not a lyrical poetry fan and the poetry was annoying. The main character started getting on my nerves. My knowledge of greek myths is limited, so I googled Sirens and did a little r...
