‘Wow’ is the only word I can think of to describe this book. Alyson Noel has done it yet again! The second book in the series doesn’t fail to impress - it is a stunning story line that can capture anyone’s attention. By reading the blurb of the book and the line ‘…but first she must make an unthinkable sacrifice,’ that had me engaged straight away and I had no doubt that whatever this sacrifice was, it was going to be one to remember, and I was right. Throughout the book we begin to read about Daire growing as a person into whom she is suppose to be, the Seeker. At the end she shows courage and strength which I really admired in her. But also Dace grows and we read from his point of view, which I feel is effective in revealing him as a person by his thoughts, weaknesses and strengths. When reading this book you’ll notice there is talk about snow, and with it being on the cover of the book it soon becomes clear that it is important to the story. Without revealing too much I’ll just say that it becomes iconic and plays a big part in the story. However the only thing I feel that could have been included is that the character Cade could have been involved a bit more because I feel that I haven’t really got to know him that well, only through what we read from the other characters. So personally I think it would be effective in looking at things from his point of view to understand him better. Overall I can not criticize this book at all, has everything you’d want, the ending itself I absolutely loved - it blew me away! Very much looking forward to Mystic!

I must say the second book in Alyson Noel’s soul seeker series has just like her other books not failed to amaze me. As we have seen in previous series by Alyson Noel this book continues to grasp the reader’s attention, if not more so in my opinion, with fresh ideas and new discoveries for Daire. The book had me laughing out loud at parts and at others i found tears trickling down my face. I can truly say that I could feel intensely the characters emotions and feelings. Alyson has a true talent when it comes to bringing the reader into the story with the characters and this is what makes it even more of a good read. The development of Daire’s world and the probing of the prophecy Daire and Dace is the central driving point of the novel. This remains the same as the story takes on twists and turns. The darker turn in Daire and Dace's characters take over the course of the novel is fantastic. Though their relationship and love for one another. This book is told from two points of view and it is a great way of giving an insight into both Daire and Dace’s views and feelings. I simply love that in a book. A book that is so gripping simply because the author manages to create a whole host of realistic characters, and also not one but two personal connections with the reader and the characters. I’m over the moon that there will be a third book in the series, Mystic. I can’t wait for the new plot it brings but for now, Alyson’s unique style has got me gripped and I have a hunch that her books are going to continue to excel! Well Done Alyson!

I am super exited for this book, i have ordered and paid and am counting down the days (60)!

Originally posted on www.justthisteenager.blogspot.co.uk! Visit for more reviews! Echo by Alyson Noel is the second book in the Soul Seekers series and follows Daire as her and Dace try to face the Richters (Coyotes) and stop their evil from spreading. Personally, I enjoyed Echo more than Fated as, because all the characters had been introduced in Fated, Noel was able to develop them further resulting in more 'airtime' on Daire's interactions with Xotichl and Lita for example. Echo was split between Daire and Dace this time as Cade manages to prevent them from seeing each other by implying their love feeds his evil power..... Noel continues to weave her own magick in this story as she did in the first and I enjoyed the continuation of the plot, Daire's own magick's power increased in this novel as she continued along the path of her ancestors guided by her grandmother Paloma and Paloma's sort of boyfriend Chay. Have a look at my review of Fated for some character information but I'll put one in here for Lita who didn't feature much in Fated. Lita Lita was bit of a biatch towards Daire in the first book but by Echo she's integrated herself into Daire's crowd and cares about her fiercely.... Constantly reminding Dace that he better treat her right! She's good fun and sarcastic and a bit bitchy but a good friend! I loved Echo and it's a great addition to the Soul Seeker series and I can't wait to read the Mystic the next in the series! July's too long to wait! Echo gets another 4 and Dace is going to be swimming in my dreams the night!
