BLURB
One lost love.
One
lost best friend.
One
hot soul reaper.
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just
wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers
collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for
years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious
heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms
into her life.
The chemistry between them is mind-blowing.
The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for
everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general
pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever
felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.
Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.
Cora is straight out of the asylum. After her parents death she can suddenly see ghosts. She winds up having a break down, but strange things are happening to Cora. Now I won't go into details here but suffice it to say her life is not as clear cut as she always thought it was. Cora is well written and an amazing character, but she isn't the only amazing character. Echo is a total love. He has such strong convictions, such character that you actually forget he is just a person in a book.Add in that touch of mythology, and you have the makings of a fabulous story. I must say I was so very frustrated when the story came to an end. I wanted to keep reading. I actually came close to throwing my kindle (heaven forbid). I just was not ready for this story to end.
I loved the little twists and turns this book took. And I loved how the story progressed. I have to say this book is a great addition to any personal library, and I highly recommend this book. By the way, you should probably grab Runes and Immortals while your off grabbing this book.
EXCERPT
Kicker’s eyes widened, and even Drew stared
at me with a weird expression. Then I realized what I’d said. Dang, another
thing I should have known about. Seriously, I should just keep my mouth shut
when people talked about what had happened the last several weeks.
“What? That’s messed up,” Drew said and I realized they were talking.
“I know,” Kicker said. “I was shocked when
she told me.”
“You seriously can’t remember anything that
happened?” Drew asked, staring at me and standing smack in the middle of the
hallway. Students were forced to walk around him.
I shrugged. “The doctors said everything
would come rushing back whenever.”
“It’s my fault,” Drew said.
“It’s no one’s fault. Things happen.”
Especially when the supernatural are involved. “I have to go. I don’t want to
be late for class.”
He grabbed my arm. “You don’t understand.
We were, you know, kissing after we won, and I didn’t realize the crowd was
surging toward us. One second you were in my arms. The next someone pulled you
away while others pushed me down. I tried to find you. I should have tried
harder or held you tighter or—”
“Don’t say that. I’m sure it was a crazy
evening, and no one is to blame.”
“I agree,” Kicker added.
Drew smiled at her. He walked me to class
and somehow ended up inviting Kicker to his party, too. The look on her face
was comical. She’d never hung out with football players.
For the rest of the morning, I searched for
the Valkyries and hoped Echo would do his appearing act. I was beginning to
worry about him, even though I knew I shouldn’t. He could take care of himself.
Still, he’d better show up soon. I had
enough crap to deal with without worrying about him. When I didn’t see Raine
near our lockers, I sent her a text message.
During lunch, Kicker filled me in on everything I’d “missed” and it wasn’t pretty. My anger shot up as they talked and laughed about someone defacing Raine’s locker and people treating her like crap because she’d known something bad was about to happen during that disastrous meet. Apparently, Eirik and the other me were the only ones who’d stuck by her. That they found that amazing made me want to smack them.
