This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Muted explores the darker side of the music industry. Denver has always dreamed of a music career, and she’s willing to do almost anything to get it. So when she and her best friends catch the eye of a big-time R&B singer, she’s overjoyed. So overjoyed that she ignores the red flags that almost immediately start to appear. This story is disturbing, and it gets more so as the book goes on. By the time I got to the end, I had to go back and reread the part of the blurb that mentions this was inspired by true events because it’s honestly horrifying that anything like this could ever happen in real life. The book ends up being something between a standard contemporary and a thriller, but I guess the music industry has its own brand of horrors. It’s obvious that the author knows a thing or two about this, and especially what it’s like to be a teenage girl in that world!
