Echo picks up straight where Fated left off, and although I finished Fated earlier this year, I had no problems jumping back into Daire's world and picking up the story like it was yesterday I had last visited. The Ritchers may be undead but their presence is still felt in the Lowerworld as they slowly pollute and contaminate it. Daire must learn more about herself and her ability in order to stand any chance of saving the Lowerworld. Dace also has tasks at hand, as Daire learns more about herself, so must he, and one way or another one of them must stop the evil.
What I loved about Echo is getting to see how the characters have grown from the beginning of the series, up to the end point of the book, not only the protagonist, but also the background characters. Lita, Jacy, and Crickett, after events in Fated, now consider themselves friends with Daire and her small group, they seem more mature and are a lot more friendlier. Even Xotichi is gaining more control over her abilities and I can't wait to see what she is capable of in the next instalment.
While we don't get to see much of Cade, there are some new faces thrown into the mix that have a history with Dace, and while I don't welcome this new arrival, I am looking forward to seeing what they can add to the plot and what they do.
From the moment I began reading I could not stop. The plot is even more gripping, the characters are believable and well developed, and the further I got into Echo the more I had to keep reading to find out what happens. One thing I did not like was the ending, and this is purely because I have to wait what feels like forever to find out what happens when I really need to find out now.

This book didn't grasp my attention and I felt like the storyline was lacking. It needed to be more in-depth for me to stay interested in what was happening. The characters dialogue was good and the relationships are building nicely for the next book.

This book was a fun read, but nothing more. It was very well written, but the plot and the characters stay incredibly weird and also a little unrealistic. I couldn't really relate to the characters, just like with all other books of Alyson Noel. I'm trying out the next one, though.

Talk about an ending. I did not see the ending of this book coming at all. I had to admit that when I went into this book I was feeling a little ambivalent. The first book was good, but not great, but I started a series and so I wanted to see it though. I have to say though, I felt that this book was better then the first.
For starters I felt that Daire grew a lot more from where she was in the first book, and throughout this book. I was, however, shocked to find some of her actions insta-lovey since it was only about a month since the end of the first book. Maybe that was why it felt less insta-love because it was the second book.
One of my favorite parts of reading this book was the use of multiple narrators, namely Daire and Dace (which was still confusing). I was also disappointed that her mom, who makes a surprise appearance, wasn't more upset that her daughter was out all night, all she says is "I hope you were safe." Everything about Jennika says that she should have flown off the handle about this.
I was sad about how the way this book had to go, but I loved that the plot from the first book, the battle against the Richters and the training of Daire. I wish I could talk more about it, but I don't want to give away too many of the major plot points, but for me the ending made this book.
