Hi folks:
It has been a long time since i was here. Life has gotten busy (real life, moving etc). I've been re-working a YA urban fantasy and I was hoping to find a couple of people willing to swap crits. I'm aiming to be done by the end of September and would like to have stuff back by the end of November. The mss is about 64k. Here's the query if it helps people decide.

In dreams, fifteen-year-old Abbie Rollands remembers a life as the Greek Muse Euterpe where people revered her talents of inspiration. Now she’s just the freak of the sophomore class with no waking memory of her real identity. She can’t control how or why her classmates burst into song or recite poetry when she’s around. The only person she doesn’t seem to effect is her crush, Liam Sullivan-Gray. Her latest visit to the Principal’s office for “disruptive behavior” results in a 3-day suspension and mandatory shrink visits to a doctor who is really the Greek Goddess Persephone. Persephone and Hades have a plan for Abbie and the other modern day Muses and it starts with their abduction.
Liam Sullivan-Gray is Hades’ son. Thanks to his bloodline, he can see the auras that identify each of the Greek Gods, including the Muses. Liam grows suspicious when Abbie doesn’t return to school after her appointments with his stepmother, Persephone, so embarks on a mission to find and rescue Abbie himself, with or without the help of the Gods. Persephone and Hades plan to use Abbie’s gifts as a weapon to sway the tide of the coming war between the Gods. To have any chance of stopping them, Abbie must learn to control her abilities. The fate of everyone—Gods and mortals alike—depends on it.
