Publisher Description

The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe is an enchanting tale of music and magic older than the hills, and the first book in the wondrous Tufa series. . . .


"Imagine a book somewhere between American Gods and Faulkner. In brief: a good book. Absolutely worth your time."—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author, on The Hum and the Shiver


Private Bronwyn Hyatt had left her small town of Needsville for the army to escape the pressures of her mystical Tufa family legacy. She returns a lone survivor after a disastrous attack overseas, wounded in body and spirit.

But cryptic omens warn of impending tragedy, and a restless haint lurks nearby, waiting to reveal Bronwyn's darkest secrets. Now Bronwyn finds the greatest battle lies right in her backyard, especially as young minister with too much curiosity arrives in town. If she makes the wrong choice, the consequences could be deadly for all the Tufa. . . .

The Hum and the Shiver Reviews

3.5
“At the time of this review this book has a mere 4,700 ratings which BLOWs MY MIND after reading it. The Hum and the Shiver is such an original story. I hesitate to call it urban fantasy because, well, really, it's rural not urban, but there is definitely something mysterious going on. I love the lore and culture of the Tufa, I love Bronwyn as the main character and her evolution throughout the story. It's a fairly easy read but don't take that to mean it isn't a solid story. It sucked me in and took me along for a ride on the night winds (or at least the closest thing to it we mere mortals can achieve!). This world just feels so REAL. Like the author's been there and he's just recording the story - but I guess we'll never know, because you can't find the Tufa if they don't want to be found...”
“Characters were 2 dimensional and unlikable.”
