Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting

3.0

I'm really disappointed after reading this.... I loved the first book "The body finder", it was intriguing and romantic but it was lacking both of these for me in this second installment. Violet became too whingy for me, I was thinking to myself while reading one of her complaining rants - "If you just told your mum, dad or your beloved boyfriend about what's going on then you wouldn't be in the predicament you're in!!!!". I realised once I got to the last 100 pages that nothing much had happened. I was waiting for that really exciting thing to happen that would pull me into the story like the first but as I said before it wasn't there. I would put it down and pick it up again just to be disappointed, I think it's because I figured out who the killer was before it was revealed to me and I hate that. I did end up finishing it and will most likely read the next book that comes out hoping that it will be better.... sorry Kimberley!
