The Last Echo by Kimberly Derting
5.0
This was my favorite book in this series so far. It so many twists and turns and great characters. Violet stopped whining for the most and has started to grow up but she still manages to get herself into a ridiculous amount of trouble. My favorite part of this series is the storylines and morbid creepiness and the power that Violet has is awesome.
Violet starts working with Sara's crime fighting psychic team. She finally feels like she's doing something good with her powers. She feels more accepted and less like a freak. The only thing is she wishes she could help victims before they died instead of after like the others and nothing hits home with that more than a new case their working on with a stalker killer called the collector. On top of all of this is Rafe. She knows she has a weird connection with him and with Jay starting to feel jealous and left out its not a good time for it. The rest of the team starts telling her that Rafe has started to act different and open up a little since she got there only confusinf her more. (UGH I usually hate love triangles but this one was done subtly and was not the main point of the story so I actually enjoyed this one). Violet get into harms way and her loved ones as well as herself are starting to question if staying on the team is good for her.
I love the atmosphere of these books. They are creepy and morbid and fascinating from page one. I also loved that Violet has matured a little. She's stronger and more sure of her gift and now that she has others that understand her power she's not afraid to ask for help when needed. She wishes she could find the girls before they die and so she starts investigating and ends up getting into trouble that she might not survive. I love that Derting has those little teaser chapters from the killers POV. It makes the scenes with the killer all the more real and gives him a face and makes him so much more than just a faceless killer. They make the book more intense. To see into the mind of the killer and meet the victims before they even know they're victims.
I loved Sara's team in this book. We get to see how it all started and new and interesting powers from each of them. Krystal was awesome she is so exuberant and I just loved her personality. (Reminded me of my best friend through the whole book). And Rafe god I loved Rafe. He wormed his way into my heart even though I don't like love triangles still I'm hoping that they just stay friends. Jay is very understanding in this book about her working for the team and very open about being jealous of Rafe but giving her space to be his friend anyways he's so sweet and honestly him and Violet are perfect for each other.
Can't wait to read the next one!!!
