Description:
Violet thought she’d made peace with her unique ability to sense the echoes of the dead and the imprints that cling to their killers…that is until she acquired an imprint of her own. Forced to carry a reminder of the horrible events of her kidnapping, Violet is more determined than ever to lead a normal life. However, the people who run the special investigative team Violet works for have no intention of letting her go.
When someone close to Violet becomes a suspect in a horrific murder, she finds herself pulled into a deadly hunt for a madman with an army of devoted followers. Violet has survived dangerous situations before, but she quickly discovers that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than protecting herself.
Dead Silence is the fourth book in a thrilling young adult paranormal series that continues to follow Violet, our teenage main character who is able to sense the leftover echoes of the dead and the imprints that hang on their killers. Using her unusual talents, Violet has been able to help several people, although it comes with a heavy price to her. Violet's been attempting to come to terms with her gift, and she wants nothing more than to lead a normal girl's life. Soon, a person close to Violet is a suspect in a murder investigation and it's up to her to find the real killer and his deranged followers - before it's too late.
This series is truly captivating and I love the paranormal aspects that it entails. I loved learning more about Violet and her gift throughout the series, and this book was no different. The plot is full of twists and turns that leave you guessing until the end, all while trying to figure out what is really happening and rooting for Violet the whole way. Violet is a great lead character in the series. She's strong, witty, and yet flawed - which I think makes her all the more realistic and easy to identify with. We see a lot of character growth from Violet throughout the series and this book shows her to mature even more. The plot was fast paced and had me eagerly reading as fast as I could to figure out the mystery and to see what would come next. The writing is fantastic and completely draws you in from the very beginning, which is a sure sign of the author's amazing talent. Overall, this was another enchanting book in a unique and original YA paranormal series - one that any fan of YA paranormal books shouldn't hesitate to read. Highly recommended! I'll be eagerly awaiting the next book in the series to see what happens to Violet next!
