Description
Seventeen-year-old Denver’s life is music, and she dreams of escaping her small rural town and hitting it big with her two best friends. When they catch the attention of a big-time R&B star, Sean “Mercury” Ellis, Denver sees their dreams finally coming true. However, they soon get caught in the dark underbelly of the music industry, and their dreams quickly turn into nightmares. Charles’ writing is captivating and lyrical, with her words flowing seamlessly across each page in this impossible to put down novel about muting the monsters.
Be bold. Get seen. Be Heard.
For seventeen-year-old Denver, music is everything. Writing, performing, and her ultimate goal: escaping her very small, very white hometown.
So Denver is more than ready on the day she and her best friends Dali and Shak sing their way into the orbit of the biggest R&B star in the world, Sean "Mercury" Ellis. Merc gives them everything: parties, perks, wild nights — plus hours and hours in the recording studio. Even the painful sacrifices and the lies the girls have to tell are all worth it.
Until they're not.
Denver begins to realize that she's trapped in Merc's world, struggling to hold on to her own voice. As the dream turns into a nightmare, she must make a choice: lose her big break, or get broken.
Inspired by true events, Muted is a fearless exploration of the dark side of the music industry, the business of exploitation, how a girl's dreams can be used against her — and what it takes to fight back.
