by Kimberly Derting

Expected publication: April 17th 2012 by HarperCollins

Violet kept her morbid ability to sense dead bodies a secret from everyone except her family and her childhood-best-friend-turned-boyfriend, Jay Heaton. That is until forensic psychologist Sara Priest discovered Violet's talent and invited her to use her gift to track down murderers. Now, as she works with an eclectic group of individuals—including mysterious and dangerously attractive Rafe—it's Violet's job to help those who have been murdered by bringing their killers to justice. When Violet discovers the body of a college girl killed by "the girlfriend collector" she is determined to solve the case. But now the serial killer is on the lookout for a new "relationship" and Violet may have caught his eye....

So, why am I waiting for this?

First. Because I was a bit disappointed with Desires of the Dead. (This is not to say that I didn't like it. I liked it. But I think it lacked the excitement that characterized The Body Finder. It wasn't as interesting as the first book. That's why I am hoping, wishing, and praying that The Last Echo would redeem Desires of the Dead.

Second. Jay Heaton.
