Desires of the Dead - Kimberly Derting

I found this book better than the first in the series, The Body Finder, as it didn't get caught up continually having to explain Violet's gift of hearing the dead's echoes. I found that this book flowed a lot more and was a better read. The first book took many reading sessions to get through whereas this one flowed more, enough that it only took a few reading sessions. 

The story was engaging and while it did have the element of the supernatural and the far fetched to it, it was an 'every girl' story that any reader could relate to; the fight of a young girl to find her way through all the complications of a new relationship as well as life as a teenager. 

I really enjoyed this book and will continue to read the series, which is a shock even to myself, as I nearly wrote the series off after book one.
