Summary:
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.
Review:
The highly anticipated sequel to The Body Finder is so worth the wait, as author Kimberly Derting takes us on another thrilling adventure!
In the first book, we learned aboutViolet Ambrose and her creepy ability to sense dead people. Now, Violet finds herself in a lot of trouble, when she locates a missing boy that brings the FBI into the mix — something her family wanted to avoid.
Violet must decide if she wants the authorities to know about her ability or if she wants to keep her life a secret…
Standing by her side, of course, is her uber hot boyfriend, Jay (hey, it wouldn’t be the same without him, right?).
But for those who are a little squeamish, Desires of the Dead isn’t all about dead bodies and gruesome finds. We get plenty of teenage drama, jealousy and romance. Oh, yes, and plenty of hot guys, including a newcomer named Rafe, who has a mysterious aura about him, something that makes you wonder what he’s all about.
Derting delivers an exceptional sequel and you won’t want to miss it when it hits shelves on February 15th. Order your copy today!
