I'm in no hurry to listen to the next book in the series, but I liked this well enough while I was listening. Check the sample! Overall, I'd say this book was good but not great. The narrator isn't the best with additional voices, but otherwise I thought she was fine. Meanwhile, a serial killer is escalating in the area, which a girl with her abilities can't help but notice, even if she's noticing and thinking about her would-be boyfriend at the same time. It's not something she's happy about, but she can't help but know where they are. And she has the secret ability to find dead things. She and her long-time best friend are leaning towards becoming more than just friends and that takes up a huge amount of her mental time. Violet is worried about normal things for a teen. There's an edge of The Disney Channel's version of high school here, although the serial killer is hardly toothless. Now that I've read it though, I'd say it was more for younger teens. Violet has survived dangerous situations before, but she quickly discovers that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than protecting herself. With a serial killer at large and the body count rising, my first thought was that this would be aimed at older teens. 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. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer. 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 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. 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.

and the imprints that attach to their killers. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world. While the 16-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her 'power' to sense dead bodies or at least those that have been murdered. Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability.
