(5 out of 5)
I really really enjoyed this book. Once I read the excerpt provided on the authors website I couldn't even wait to get it at the library I decided to buy the e-book. I read a lot, so it's not like I haven't read this type of story before but it was the way she told the story. It drew me in and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I had to wait a whole day to buy it since my computer decided to get a virus and it was a Saturday/Sunday thing and the book wouldn't be in the library until Monday. But my husband fixed my computer and on Sunday I bought it and I had it read by that night and I had to read the next one. Thankfully I had the forethought to order that one with the first one. I was able to pick that up on Monday. Since I was off that day I had that read in one day. These books are just that good. Or at least I think so. Now I have to wait for book three since the library doesn't have it.
Violet Ambrose is a typical sixteen year old when it comes to her first issue. She is crushing hard on her best friend Jay Heaton. They have been friends since childhood and she's not sure what do about these new feelings she has towards him. Then when it comes to the second issue it isn't so typical. She is able to sense dead bodies. 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. At first it was only dead animals that called to her. But then when she was eight she found a murdered young girl.
Violet never has thought of her power as a gift but now that her town is being terrorized by a serial killer she may be the only one able to stop him. With the help of Jay she sets out to find the killer. She may even end up falling in love along the way if she doesn't become prey herself.
I think that the New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray says it best about this book, "You'll be drawn in by the love story-and kept up all night by the suspense." from the front cover.
