Summary/ product description: “Violet thought she’d made
peace with her unique ability to sense the echoes of the dead and the imprints
that cling to their killers…that is until she acquired an imprint of her own.
Forced to carry a reminder of the horrible events of her kidnapping, Violet is
more determined than ever to lead a normal life. However, the people who run
the special investigative team Violet works for have no intention of letting
her go.
When
someone close to Violet becomes a suspect in a horrific murder, she finds
herself pulled into a deadly hunt for a madman with an army of devoted
followers. Violet has survived dangerous situations before, but she quickly
discovers that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than
protecting herself.”
My Review: I
waited over a year and a half to read this book! I haven’t read the Last Echo
since it came out in May 2012, yet how could I forget the amazing characters
and awesome story that Kimberly Derting created? When I first picked up The
Body Finder is 2010, I had no idea what I was getting into. I wasn’t sure I was
going to like it at all. I had a real treat because I ended up loving it. I
usually had issues with 3rd person perspective, but it turned out
that it worked for this book.
In Dead Silence, Violet is stuck with the imprint of
the killer that she killed in the previous book. A music box song that haunts
her. She has her amazing boyfriend Jay and her friends, including Chelsea. Rafe
and Gemma show up at her school on the first day of Senior year. They were part
of crime solving team of psychics. Rafe is jealous that Violet’s in love with
Jay and not him. Chelsea has a crush on Rafe, Gemma has a little crush on Jay. I love the banter and humor between the
characters. Jay is so cute and hot and he say some ridiculous and romantic
things.
Violet discovers bodies of a family at a house by a
lake. The story’s plot revolves around finding the killer. We also get the
killer’s perspective, as usual. The story has so creepy stuff as well as
mystery. Just know that this is an awesome finale, and if you are familiar with
the previous books and still have been putting off ending the series, there is
nothing to fear! These book start with a bang (a prologue that teases the
ending) and end with one.
If you have not read the Body Finder, it’s a YA paranormal
crime thriller series. It’s kind of like Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon in that
Violet can sense dead bodies. She can also identify the killer of the body by a
matching imprint. Check it out and you won’t regret it.
Cover Art Review: Lovely red flower made of material
like the other covers.
