Staff Pick Sunday! Saturn K. recommends Demon Song, by Kelsea Yu.

"An unsettling story about the price of fame... - Demon Song is a story that follows Megan and her mother after they've fled another abusive situation. This time they've ended up at an opera house. Hauntings ensue. If you're into mythology, definitely check it out because Demon Song is full of Chinese mythology references. The end also threw me for all the way for a loop. It gave me whiplash! Look for it on Hoopla!"
