Our Last Echoes Book Review



Our Last Echoes by Kate Alice Marshall



  Wow. It’s been too long since I’ve read thrillers. It also really freaked me out at times (especially when I was reading it at night.) But then again, I do get scared pretty easily. 😆 



                     You can get it here on Amazon



................

  Synopsis: 

In 1973, the thirty-one residents of Bitter Rock disappeared. In 2003, so did my mother. Now, I've come to Bitter Rock to find out what happened to her--and to me. Because Bitter Rock has many ghosts. And I might be one of them. 

Sophia's earliest memory is of drowning. She remembers the darkness of the water and the briny taste as it filled her throat, the sensation of going under. She remembers hands pulling her back to safety, but that memory is impossible--she's never been to the ocean. 

But then Sophia gets a mysterious call about an island names Bitter Rock, and learns that she and her mother were there fifteen years ago--and her mother never returned. The hunt for answers lures her to Bitter Rock, but the more she uncovers, the clearer it is that her mother is just one in a chain of disappearances. 

People have been vanishing from Bitter Rock for decades, leaving only their ghostly echoes behind. Sophia is the only one who can break the cycle--or risk becoming nothing more than another echo haunting the island.

...............

I love how this book is written and organized. Because it’s about Sophia trying to figure out what happened to her mom, different chapters have “evidence” presented. And this just gets more and more important as the book goes on. 

I cannot stop thinking about this book. I am definitely going to be reading the other books from this author! After I looked at the descriptions of her other books, it looks like a character from a different book was mentioned in this one. So even if there’s not a sequel, I hope some of the characters will be mentioned in future books!!

A girl can hope. 

But please read this book. I loved it. I wanna talk about it. Please. 

This book is haunting and mysterious and such a good read!!

RATING: 5 Stars

See Her Die Review

Image
 Hello everyone! I recently finished reading See Her Die by Melinda Leigh. Oh. My. God. That book was amazing! I love thrillers and mysteries and this one was soooo good! It has so many interesting aspects and so much that I did not see coming.  This is the second of the Bree Taggert books (I haven't read the first one, so you can definitely read this one first if you want, although I believe they do talk about what happened in the first book). I did recently find out that the first one, Cross Her Heart, is available for free with Amazon Prime so I will definitely be reading that.  In this book, Bree Taggert has recently been named sheriff and she strives to be a good leader while struggling to take care of her recently orphaned niece and nephew. They get a call about a shooting with no evidence that a shooting even took place. Just one not-so-trustworthy witness. And then they find a body.  I received a free ebook in exchange for an honest review. Rating: 4 stars

Prepped Book Review

Prepped by Bethany Mangle Book Review     I don’t read many contemporary books. I read a lot of fantasy. So this book was a little out of my comfort zone. It sounded kind of interesting, but I didn’t know if it would keep my attention or not. I did get a free ebook of this in exchange for an honest review, so I thought I would give this book a fair chance.    It’s about a girl whose family are doomsday preppers, along with their whole neighborhood. Everything they do revolves around preparing for the end of the world and Becca is tired of it. And when I say they prepare for the end of the world, I mean they PREPARE. They go WAY overboard.        I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely had times where I want a bunker with everything I’ll need just in case the world ends. (Especially since last year) But damn. The neighborhood in the book goes so far beyond that. If you are in any way curious about what that might look like, then you’ll be interested in this book.     I really liked

The Acceptance Book Review

  I recently read The Acceptance by Ramona Finn. I received a free ebook through NetGalley for my opinion (and I was supposed to read this forever ago. Oops.)  Better late than never 😬  The Acceptance is the first book in the GEOs series. The story is set in a future where Earth had been destroyed by a virus. (So, it’s already a perfect read for 2020.)  Because of the virus, some people moved underground to avoid it. The protagonist, Tylia, has lived below ground her whole life. Scientists search for a cure and some people are chosen every so often to help (if they can pass the deadly test.)  Tylia’s mother is sick, dying and doesn’t have much time left. Her best option is to hack into The Acceptance and make it out alive so her mother can get the care she needs.  This book is PERFECT for 2020. It’s a mix of 2020 and The Hunger Games.  I really liked this book. I’m a sucker for dystopian books and this was an interesting twist on a Hunger Games type of book. Some of it could be a litt
