Read the first chapter:
Songs of the Wind - Chapter 1
My Review:
How can a book be that perfect? I don’t want to exaggerate, but this is the kind of reading I enjoy and there are several reasons why: smart characters that don’t jump right into danger without thinking, friends that are important, loving family and no love triangle.
I really missed Christian, but even though he was not present, he was definitely the center of Songs of the Wind. I enjoyed the team effort and the way everyone has been organized unlike some YA novels in which the characters run around in complete chaos. May that was because in the case of the Love Lines series, everyone is over 18 years and guided by some mature adults. This brings it a little closer to what reality means.
Like I said, I missed Christian, but we still get to see glimpses of him in Eileen’s memories and we get to know his feelings because of the songs the wind brought. I will be back at him in just a couple of minutes.
Eileen
I liked the way Eileen evolved, she became more independent and she is most definitely much more powerful. If in Love Lines she was always protected by her friends and father, now she is the one to protect them. And maybe it was because of Christian’s disappearance, but there were moments in which Eileen seemed tougher and at one point she noted that she is sick of all the lies her friends used so often in order to protect her.
Evan
I liked him a lot in Love Lines, but things have changed in Songs of the wind. I don’t know if I can like him more than a lot, but I do. He is my favorite character and it’s no doubt about that. He is smart, funny and as powerful as Eileen. Maybe part of the reason I liked this book so much was because half of it was written from his point of view. We get to know him better and the more you know him the more you like him (you can’t escape it). I am glad that we also got the chance to find more about his family and his past and the most original way. (not going to tell you, you’ll just have to read it.)
Eileen and Evan
No, there is no love triangle at least not from where I stand. I LOVE their relationship and I don’t think that they should be together. There was a small part in which I was confused about the relationship part, but it all figured out. The chemistry between them is perfect. They are friends and they take care of each other and when they don’t do that they exchange the most sarcastic and funny dialogue in the entire book. I love the way Evan is protective of her and how it all turns around when is Eileen’s turn to save him.
There is this part, in which their friendship really begins, which I am dying to tell everyone, but I can’t. That is a called a spoiler and I try not to throw them in my reviews.
The Villains
I get them. And I’m not an evil genius, but I must admit that they were motivated. They were desperate to get more power, but they were still small puppets in a bigger game and what comes next looks bigger and more dangerous and I can’t get to see what comes next.
Christian *SPOILER AHEAD*
Yeah, I tried, but I choose to let this at the end because there is no other way. Christian’s personality has changed a little because he doesn’t remember Eileen so he learns how to know her all over again. I know that this was not a fun part of Christian’s return for Eileen, but he seemed to have fun and I don’t know why, but I liked his attitude (sorry Eileen). It was nice and romantic to see him fall in love with her again and to see her confused (she didn’t know how to act around him).
The End
Yeah, there is a small cliffhanger at the end and yes, you will want to read the next book as soon as possible. ^_^

Review also appears on my blog
First I would like to say thanks to the awesome Diana Nixon who provided me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thanks so much!
This books picks up right where Love Lines left off. Christian is missing and Eileen and friends are thinking of ways they can save him. Eileen and Evan travel to France but will what they do be enough to save Christian and more importantly will they be able to survive the choices they had to make to get Christian back?
I'm not sure how I feel about Eileen in this book. For about half the book she really didn't play a role as the leading character. I understand why that happened she was lost, confused, in despair and terribly missing Christian, but I wish she would play a bigger role in the beginning of the book. Now, don't get me wrong she did play a role in some events and there were times when she went against what people told her to do. However, there were times in the book when everybody was making decisions except for Eileen. Now that aside, for the second half of the book she was amazing. Her interaction with Christian once they found him was so sweet and I just wanted to go give her a hug. She was hurting so bad. She is loyal to her friends and I loved how much she was willing to risk to give even someone as annoying as Evan alive.
Speaking of Evan, he was probably my most favorite character. The chapters alternated between Eileen and Evan so I loved getting into Evans head. We learn more about his history and my opinion really changed about him since the last book. We see past the silly boy with almost no worries. Evan as a character is deep and he is very protective of Eileen and he would literally give up anything for her. I loved his perspective even if he knows how to get on everyone's nerves.
Even though Christian is missing for a good half of this book he still deserves his own paragraph. I mean it's Christian he has me swooning with his smile alone. He suffered a lot but I'm happy that in the end him and Eileen are happy. They are a great couple and their love is pure and just amazing. I just wish there was more of it.
While in the first book there was an overload of romance and just those moments that put a giant smile on your face this book had a lot more action and reveals. It focused more on the back story to the bond and the history of the main characters. It also revealed who wants to kill Eileen and just how long they have been plotting. There are a lot of surprises in this book. My only complaint was that sometimes I got lost with all the reveals. There was a lot going on so sometimes I just got lost in all the information being thrown at me. This isn't a major issue in the book though and I mean it's pretty common sometimes the author knows where they're going and it just takes longer for the reader to catch on.
Overall this was a good sequel that revealed a lot of much needed and important information and let us understand the characters better.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.Thank you SO much,Diana!
I am seriously knocked off by this book! It was even better than the first one, “Love Lines”. Though I didn’t believe that this series can get any better, I was proven wrong. “Love Lines” is one of these series that keeps getting better and better with every book.
“Songs of the Wind” is just perfect! It has everything I ever wanted from a book. Action, love, emotions, funny moments, magic. I couldn’t ask for anything better. I am very excited about “Songs of the Wind” and,until now, this is the best book in the series. I can’t even imagine how much I’ll love the 3rd volume.
The best part? Half of the chapters were told from Evan’s point of view! Yes,yes,yes!! Evan’s my favorite character from all the series and I couldn’t be more happy when I found out about this fact! It was amazing to be in his head and t find out more about him and his story.Though he’s still a mystery, “Songs of the Wind” revealed a lot of secrets from his past. J
Diana,please don’t make a love triangle! Let Evan and Eileen be just friends! They are perfect like best friends and nothing more. Evan is perfect with Tara, not with Eileen.I can’t and I don’t wanna see Eileen with Evan.I just can’t imagine them as a couple.There were so many cute scenes between them like friends. Like the one with the sweater.My head was full of ‘Awww’’s reading it.They just can’t be a couple.So please, no love triangle!
In “Songs of the Wind” more secrets are revealed. There is more action, more mysteries, and more secrets that need to be revealed. I loved the suspense that this book gave me! I was reading like the world would end because I wanted to find out more about Eileen,about Evan’s family and their secrets and I was very sad when I finished the book. It has a little cliffhanger, to be honest.Not a huge one,but I still wanna cry when I think how much I have to wait until the 3rd volume.
I really missed Christian and even Amanda in this book. They were a little absent from the action, the action focusing on Eileen,Evan and Christian. Because Christian is missing,the book was a little full of emotions,not very happy. I felt sorry for Eileen and I missed her being with Christian.
Reading “Songs of the Wind” I came to be more attached with the characters.I got to know them better and I got to love them even more.I can’t wait to see what others secrets will be revealed in the 3rd volume.Maybe I should stop thinking about it, I might cry.
What I found very romantic were those songs. (Read the book if you wanna know what I am talking about!) Though very sad, because of the circumstances, I loved those parts with those songs.
Again,loved it!!! I truly recommend it too everyone! A must-read!
Rate:8/5

Diana has done it again! She has created a wonderful mash up of mystery, romance, humor, and magic in her second installment in the Love Lines series known as Songs of the Wind. Picking up right where she left off in Love Lines with Eileen's love, Chrstian kidnapped. Eileen and Evan--along with the help from their friends--search and fight for not only to save Christian, but to figure out the answers to several questions.
Things start to get complicated. Don't worry though! Diana has you covered as she has written you just enough to keep you in toe with her characters, but not enough to give away every secret. You will learn more about character backstory's, the bonds of love and friendship, who wants to kill Eileen, and much more.
As I was reading I realized I wasn't simply reading a good book, I WAS Eileen, Evan, and Christian at one point thanks to Diana having pulled off their POVs better than I could have imagined. This isn't a one person show, this is the telling of several people creating for a fun filled read, so don't be too upset when you're Eileen one moment and Evan the next. Hearing it from both sides add to the meat of this story and helps you to gain a better feel of everyone. Even the villains! Everyone is well rounded and her use of dialogue is as though you're friends are in the room having the conversations, other than the magical speak its real!
The world of Dever and magic had suddenly become my reality yet again--after having fallen in love with the first book--and if it weren't for my schedule and need for sleep I don't know how else I would have torn myself away from her book. If you haven't read her series I suggest you give it a shot! Pick up Love Lines and take a bite; you won't be able to get enough. The only sad thing is that I have to wait for the next one especially after teasing me in the end with one of her amazing twists! Oh, how I yearn to read what's next in the series and to follow her wonderfully complicated and extraordinary growing cast of characters.
I must also take a moment to thank Diana Nixon for allowing me an advance copy. It was mouth watering my good and I only wish I had the next book to satisfy my craving. I look forward to reading the next installment in the Love Lines series and without a doubt I would recommend this to anyone. You can't go wrong with a great read like this!

Book review for the Indie Bookshelf
http://theindiebookshelf.blogspot.com...
Songs of the Wind picks up right where Love Lines left off, Christian is missing and Eileen and Evan are on a mission to get him back. The author brings you into her magical world once again, revealing even more about Dever and its Founding Magical Families. There are so many more elements that take place with each chapter. This book showed alternate POV from Eileen to Evan, Evan's POV being my favorite. He was my favorite character from Love Lines and there is even more of him in this book. I loved living inside his head, and getting a feel for all the history and events taking place from his perspective. The author really explains more of his character, and you get to see a side of Evan you don't see in the first book.
My only complaint is some of the scenes felt rushed and were lacking in smooth transitions. I had to re read certain parts to make sure I was following with the scene of the book and the conversation that was taking place.
The love between Christian and Eileen is so sweet, and their dialogue were some of my favorite parts.
"She was breaking me apart and loving me at the same time; shattering me into pieces and making me stronger; giving me herself and making me surrender with her every smile. She was like an illusion I was afraid to ruin." - Christian
Once I got to the very last sentence, the author threw me the biggest curve ball and I am still left speechless wondering what is going to happen! My expectation of this story being wrapped up in a neat little package with a nice bow was abruptly changed. Now I have to wait for the next book! If you enjoy reading about magical worlds and romance, you will really enjoy this book. The author has some of the best creativity and lovable characters I have read. If you haven't read Love Lines, the first in this series, I highly suggest it. This book was a great follow up sequel. I give it 4 stars.

I have been waiting for this book since the moment I was done with Book 1: Love Lines.
Best Part of the book: How can I pick just one part or character?! Each is so unique to the story and the chemistry between the characters is awesome! I love the way Diana writes. She is very detailed in her story. You feel what the characters are feeling and you know their surroundings. I also love that she switches from different POVs. This way you are not just restricted to one character. However, about all, I think Evan is still my favorite character. I saw so much more of him and his family in this story and it just made me love him more. I love the Eileen is growing stronger and is determined to find Christian. I really love that Diana's creativity is beyond measure. I say this because she takes something so simple (like WIND) and turns it into a major piece of the puzzle. I love that!!
Not so great about book: UGH! Diana knows how to leave this Book Nerd wanting more. Just when I thought there was going to be a happy ending *BAM* she throws a twist into the story. Just like the last book, the beginning is full of twists, puzzles and more questions than answers. However, she pulls it all together!!
Now I just have to wait for the next book!!

After Eileen loses Christian she only survives with the thought that she will save him.She is happy just when she can hear the songs of the wind because the songs are the only connection with Christian.The songs are beautiful like the love between them.
Evan is her support when she is was in France and she feel safe and protected when he is around her.I like the friendship between them.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
There have been a lot of okayish books for me this year. So I was dreading to read another book but after convincing myself I started reading this book. In the beginning I was worried that I might not like the book at all but as I started turning page after page for more I realized I did like the book after all. There was lots of adventure and action in this one. Many puzzles were solved a lot of mysteries revealed and some of the big questions were answered. The book kept me at the edge of my seat the whole night. Whew! Air in my lungs!
So now that I have said about the book I am happy to say I loved how the characters developed. I got a lot of Evan (Thank you, Diana). Which I had been dying to read about. We got introduced to a new character who is by far the coolest mom in this series! I am happy to say that Eileen also got some punches and kicks of her own in this book. Thats the end of my ramblings folks!!
Cover LOVE!!!!!

Songs of the Wind was so much better than the first book, not that I didnt like the first one, there was just so much more emotions brought out in the characters, we also got to see different sides of Evan which really broke my heart. I loved every bit of Songs of the Wind, Diana Nixon did an amazing job with this one and I cant wait to read the next book.
In Songs of the Wind, Eileen and Evan are trying to bring Christian back home after he has been kidnapped by Eric. However, they have to figure out where he is first and how to get him. As if that wasnt enough, Alexis and the Dragons are after them as well.
Evan learns so much about his family that he didnt know before, so much was kept from him. With his friend, Eileen by his side he knows he can get through anything. Evans feelings grows stronger for Eileen everyday and this scares them both.

Wow hang on this second book takes you for a RIDE!!!
Just when you THINK you know what's going to happen next, your wrong!!
This book is told from both Eileen's POV an Evan's POV.
The story you need to pay attention to because there has been such detail an additional history we learn about Dever an it's Founding Magical Families.
The depth Diana Nixon has created in this world an the history she continues to expand upon with each book is phenomenal.
The mystery that has been added along with how we see the characters grow was amazing.
Loved it! Can't wait for book three!

I was given this book by the author in return for an honest review.
What a fantastic book.
After losing Christian in Book 1 " Love Lines" Eileen is determined to get him back from Evil Eric.
With the help of her friends and family, especially Evan. She goes on a long search filled with riddles and danger at every turn, with the goal of finding and saving her beloved Christian!!! She finally succeeds but yet they face more trials. I really can't wait to see what happens in book 3.

Once again, Diana has completely drawn you back into this unbelievable world of magic and transformation. I fell in love with Eileen and Christian immediately on the first and the depth of their relationship is awe inspiring. I was lucky to have recieved an ARC of this story, and hope that Diana continues to put her talent for storytelling to great use as she now has an avid fan with this book.

After Eileen had to face her destiny, now she has lost the love of her life, Christian. He is trapped in a magical dream because of Eric Lanster, a maniac that wants power. Trying to bring him back she has to go through a lot of hard moments and put under question her friendships. They say that love bounds last forever, but what happens when one is broken? Who dies and who lives? What changes?
When you can do nothing to stop the destiny, you have to find ways to get what you want, no matter what the price is. Eileen is forced to do things that she doesn’t want to, but there is no other way. Will she be forgiven?
Continuing the story from the first book, Song of the wind is the story of an adventure. Eileen, the main character, and her friend Even are going to France, the home of Meridin, one of the seven families, whose descendants have the power to interpret dreams. Will they succeed to bring Christian back?
The second book of the series Love Lines brings in main plan the story of Even Murray who helps Eileen to go through everything. If you remember, the first book had a dual perspective, Eileen’s and Christian’s, well in this book Even takes Christian’s place and gives the book a lot of funny moments. Having Even as a main character is really interesting, since he is not an ordinary character. We find out more about his feelings and thoughts. Even is that perfect friend that will always be there for you, even if he has to drop out his own needs and feelings. He is a real support for the others and I think that he is that character that exists in each book and makes you want to hug him hard when he is strong only because someone needs to be like that.
In this book is a real adventure. There are more moments of tension, more enemies and dangers. We step out from the real word and go deep down in the universe that surrenders the book. We meet ghost that need to be free, legends and another family that has special powers. Some connections between the characters are clearer and some abilities are revealed.
What is different from the first book is that Eileen is a stronger character; she becomes aware of her powers and is ready to use them against whoever threatens her friends and family. Plus the relationship between Even and Amanda is less tense since they both realised that nothing is going to happen, they are too alike to be together. Eileen’s parents are reunited and I cannot tell how those two had had a relationship, I mean they are totally incompatible!
The author keeps creating that magic in the book and you have no way to get out of the story, you have to read it until the end. The moments between Eileen and Even are so sweet! I always thought that they would do a great couple, but Christian is Eileen’s soulmate and I have to resign to the idea. Well I hope that there is someone that will make Even happy, because he has been through a lot, and Eileen just make things worse sometimes, if you have read the book you know what I refer to.
The title of the book is such a match! *SPOILER* Eileen and Christian succeed to communicate through the wind and the moments are so perfect! I mean what could be more romantic than this? *END OF SPOILER* Diana has a talent to create amazing moments in the book, sometimes I have reread the passages when Christian and Eileen are together or when Even has a moment of thinking because there are great description passages that deserve to be remembered.
When you thought that will be a moment of pace that everything will get back to normal there is a clock that starts ticking on the wall and a new mystery is waiting. The ending let me thinking and I have my guesses, but I prefer keeping them to me because I am not 100% sure that they are true.

Songs of the Wind picks up right where Love Lines left off, Christian is missing and Eileen and Evan are on a mission to get him back. The author brings you into her magical world once again, revealing even more about Dever and its Founding Magical Families. This book showed alternate POV from Eileen to Evan.
I think the love story between Eileen and Christian it’s kind of perfect and sweet, except the problems. I hope they will finally get over all the problems.
Christian is missing and Eileen and friends are thinking of ways they can save him. Eileen and Evan travel to France to try and save Christian and they have to survive the choices they will have to make to get him back.
"She was breaking me apart and loving me at the same time; shattering me into pieces and making me stronger; giving me herself and making me surrender with her every smile. She was like an illusion I was afraid to ruin." – Christian
Eileen is really suffering and missing Christian, she is confused and unfortunately she feels lost without him. Evan will do anything to help his friends, especially Eileen, he is very protective of here and he will give up anything for her.
„Sometimes I lose my hold on reality; I lose myself in my own helplessness and despair, and an endless emptiness I feel inside me is simply killing. It is tearing me apart without a chance of finding myself again.
Since the moment I found out about Christian‟s kidnapping I can‟t stop blaming myself for losing him. I can‟t feel him but I still hope that he is all right. At least this thought is something still making me live and pray for the moment I can see him again.”- Eileen
While in the first book there was an overload of romance and just those moments that put a giant smile on your face this book had a lot more action and reveals. It focused more on the back story to the bond and the history of the main characters. There are a lot of surprises in this book.
Once I got to the very last pages, the author threw me the biggest curve ball and I am still left speechless wondering what is going to happen! My expectation of this story being wrapped up in a neat little package with a nice bow was abruptly changed. Now I have to wait for the next book!

I read Love Lines the first book in the series last year, and the cliffhanger almost put me in a MAJOR book-hangover. Then we know how easily distracted I get. But I was super excited to get back into the world of magic and wonder of Dever!
I honestly have come to adore Diana Nixon's writing style. Its simple and yet engaging. Songs of the Wind adds more to the amazing book world the author has created and I loved getting back into it. It picks up right where Love Lines ended and it kept me hooked right to the end. In this
installment you can really see the characters grow and you get to know more about their story.
