"Idris Williams has perfect pitch… the ability to recognize notes and play them back perfectly by ear.
With his musical talent, confidence and great looks, he was practically born to be a rock star. There’s just one problem. His overbearing father is determined to control his destiny and music isn’t on the agenda. For Idris, there doesn’t seem to be a way out…
— Until he morphs into a monster.
Cadi Rhoswen has finally found a safe and loving home…
Then a malicious high school jock turns her whole world upside down. The next thing she knows, she’s wandering the streets in the middle of winter. Alone.
— Until she finds a beastly boy hiding out in an abandoned nightclub called the Thorny Rose.
To change Idris back into his sexy human self, Cadi must reveal a secret she’s been holding close to her heart for as long as she can remember. A secret that will pit them against a deadly army and change their lives… forever."

Review:
"Silken Scales" by Alex Hayes
My Rationalization:
This was quite an enjoyable imaginary and fun sci-fi read that will keep you turning the pages that deal with Cadi and Idris struggle growing up. This YA read deals with 'aliens/humans and teenage angst' with Cadi who is an outcast with Idris who is popular but not happy both who have been bonded together from birth. It was an interesting read in how this author brings them together in the well-written story. By the end, the reader will be given a good 'fun urban fantasy with telekinetic, musical, shapeshifting teenage aliens.' I will say that I did enjoy most of the characters in this magical imaginative story and even when some things seemed a bit confusing the reader will still definitely keep one captivated from the reading.
