The Stir Scene Angelique Blake

"The Stir Scene" is a novel about Haigh, a young woman, plagued by illness, despair, visions, and the musicians who believe she is their reincarnated friend. Elian had overcome everything a young man should ever endure, only to end up just another musician who died too soon. After accurately predicting his own demise, he had managed to convince his close friends and bandmates that he was reincarnated once and would see them again, long after his death. Twenty years later, Haigh, a perfect candidate for Elian, has shown up on the ex-band's doorstep. She was the perfect age, the perfect type of thinker, and eerily familiar, grieving for a life she had never lived. She wasn't looking for these people, Elian or the Stir Scene. She was only looking for a break from, a cure of or at least an answer for her debilitating, inexplicable grief and accompanying neurological illness. Elian's friends try their hardest to convince Haigh that she is Elian to the point of intimidation, but she doesn't want to be the Cinderella to fill the dead man's shoes. The only thing that keeps her coming back is her interest in Elian's journals. They seem to hold many answers along with mystical secrets. The key to her illness, her longing, and her visions may rest in the grasp of the dead man and the world of the Stir Scene.
