In the end, all that’s left is an echo.
Before, Violet's morbid ability to sense the dead led her to uncover dark murders and long-buried secrets in her small town. Now that she's working with a special investigative team, Violet hopes she can help even more people - whether by saving a life or catching a killer.
Although she's relieved to finally be honest about what she can do, her instant connection with her mysterious partner, Rafe, is both confusing and unsettling, and their unique bond creates tension with her boyfriend, Jay. When she discovers the body of a college student murdered by "the collector," Violet refuses to give up on the case. With her own relationship on the line, Violet doesn't realize that the serial killer is looking to add to his collection and that she may have caught his eye. Will the life Violet has to save be her own?
My Rating: 3.5/5
This book is the sequel to The Body Finder and Desires of the Dead.
I liked this book significantly less than the first two. It just felt like an entirely different book altogether.
In the first two books, Violet's ability was used by chance and was the sole focus of both books. In this book however, Violet actively uses her ability and the focus is more on the special unit within the police force which Violet is the newest member of.
The special unit that Violet joins reminded me of The Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelley Armstrong.
I liked that new characters such as Rafe and the others Violet works with had more development but I didn't like how others such as Jay and Chelsea were almost non-existent.
The chapters from the collector's perspective were my favourite part of the book as I found it really chilling.
The ending was suspenseful and I wasn't able to put the book down during that portion.
I am looking forward to reading the last book now given the consequences of the way this book ended, however, I did not like how this book eluded to the possibility of a love triangle.
