From GoodReads, "The missing dead call to Violet. They want to be found.
Violet can sense the echoes of those who've been murdered—and the matching imprint that clings to their killers. Only those closest to her know what she is capable of, but when she discovers the body of a young boy she also draws the attention of the FBI, threatening her entire way of life.
As Violet works to keep her morbid ability a secret, she unwittingly becomes the object of a dangerous obsession. Normally she'd turn to her best friend, Jay, except now that they are officially a couple, the rules of their relationship seem to have changed. And with Jay spending more and more time with his new friend Mike, Violet is left with too much time on her hands as she wonders where things went wrong. But when she fills the void by digging into Mike's tragic family history, she stumbles upon a dark truth that could put everyone in danger."
As a huge fan of The Body Finder, I was very much looking forward to reading the second installment in the series. I didn't like this book as much as the first book, but it was still an enjoyable read.
The main character, Violet, is your typical, average, every-day student with the exception of the fact that she can sense dead bodies... they actually call out to her. I absolutely love Violet's character and her abilities. I think that she is so expertly written by Derting that a possibility of many books with different plots, twists, and turns would be possible. In this book, she is being stalked by someone and Derting has added the element of reading the stalker's thoughts along with Violet's, which gave the book a new and different perspective. I liked the fact that every time I thought I had everything figured out, I was completely wrong.
In the first book, I liked the budding romance of Violet and her best friend Jay. In this book, they are still a couple and there are developments to their relationship, some are a little quick for me, but would probably happen that quickly in the real world. Violet is still unsure, at times, which makes for interesting reading because I really liked her perspective on things. I also liked the addition of the not FBI, but something characters of Sara and Rafe and think that they will probably play a pivotal role in the next book. This book is another good read by Kimberly Derting and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next!
