Violet Amberose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her bet friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies--or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.
Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find dead birds her cat left for her. But now that a serial killer is terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, Violet realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.
Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet find the murderer--and Violet is unnerved by her hope that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.

This sounds like a good book. Do you have a favorite character in this book? What is your favorite part if you have one? Why do you like this character? Why do you like this part? Do you think the author used good detail in the book?
ReplyDeleteWell, my favourite character would have to be Jay or Violet. I like Violet because her abilities are just amazing and you can really feel the same emotion she is feeling as you read on in the book. Jay is like the partner in crime, he comes with Violet everywhere to help her out to unravel the mystery of who the murder is.
ReplyDeleteI have read this book and I would say that I do not have a favourite part of the book and I think that it is all good, but I am not supposed to tell any spoilers anyway, so that would just give it away.
As far as the amount of detail go in the book, I think that there could be more detail, other than whats going on outside of her. I would rather hear about what is going inside a characters head instead of what they are saying and doing.
One thing that I also do not like, is the fact that it is written in past tense, third person. I feel that because it is written in past tense and in third person, the authors ability to tell what is going on inside the characters heads is much more limited, and I certainly do notice that when reading this particular book.
