Synopsis
Kirkus Recommended Review - "...captivating and memorable...makes for supremely fun reading...this action-packed ride through a grim but fascinating world should delight fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent and leave many waiting impatiently for the sequel."
Legend meets Leviathan in this gritty dystopian fiction by debut author Sophia Elaine Hanson. All citizens within the soaring black walls of Revinia have metal Singers grafted into their skulls at birth. The parasitic machines issue a form of auditory hypnosis called The Music, which keeps their minds malleable and emotions flat. All artistic expression—especially real music—is strictly prohibited.
On the edge of the city, nineteen year old Ronja struggles to support her cousins and disabled mother. A chance meeting leads to her kidnapping by an underground resistance striving to preserve the human spirit. Violently severed from her Singer by the brash young agent Roark, Ronja revels in her newfound freedom until the consequences of her disappearance begin to unfold.
The first in a trilogy, Vinyl is a story of loyalty, passion, trauma, human connection, and the extraordinary power of real music.

Review
"A compelling read, and one that will definitely appeal to fans of dystopian/sci-fi/action novels. Author Sophia Elaine Hanson does an amazing job of bringing this incredible world to life where man must fight against mental and emotional enslavement. Great, authentic dialogue that flowed well and moved the plot forward nicely, sparing us of the dreaded "telling" that so many authors tend to do. I recommend it for fans of Dystopian Sci-fi who'd like a new twist!" Claire Middleton - Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
"Wow, what an insane book! Holy bananas!!! I don't even know where to begin because so much happens and I don't want to give anything away... Vinyl: Book one of the Vinyl Trilogy by author Sophia Hanson is one of the most original and just flat out interesting fantasy/ science fiction/ dystopian novels I've ever read. I liked it for so many reasons. The writing was stellar. I liked that there were things I haven't seen in other books like this before, and it just felt more "intelligent" than others I've read." (5 stars) Eliza Brown - Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
