Representaion Concering Books Ghosts & Echoes (Shadows Inquiries #2)
This book opens roughly a month after the first book.I feel kind of ambivalent about the book. I want to like it more than I actually do. Part of the problem is that while I liked Michael, I also really liked Wright and I found the resolution of his problem unsatisfying.
I figured out almost immediately that Zoe was involved in what was going on. I also figured out what happened as soon as Bella revived.
I also think I just needed something more interesting than standard magic. The hand of glory isn't new and Benedict didn't really offer a different take on it.

If you've read Sins and Shadows, then you know that the main character - Sylvie - can be a bit of a cranky person. In the last book, I enjoyed her inner seething rage. It was kind of constant, she was so angry most of the book. In this book, she came across a little more sullen than angry. Not sure if I really liked that part, but the story itself was good - a good plot, a good narration, good dialogue and some suspenseful scenes with creepy factors.Sylvie's sister, Zoe, has been in a bit ofI liked Ghosts & Echoes a lot more than I thought I would! This was very different to book 1! No Gods at all just possession and creepy things! I will be reading books 3 & 4
This novel was a bit disappointing to me. In the first novel, her lover dies and in this novel, Adam comes along and he has part of her lover as a ghost hitchhiker in his body. It was a sad ending as well. It kind of doomed their relationship too.
Good book, somewhat spoiled by a bad blurb. Really, I hate it when the back cover text casually mentions a third-act reveal. Yes, I still enjoyed seeing Sylvie juggle three problems at once, but that back cover text had me expecting a completely different A-plot.With that said, I did enjoy the book and am chugging right along to book three in the series.

God. Dark, dark, dark, dark. There is no panacea in Lyn Benedict's books, even the most unlikely of happy endings is rife with bitter things beyond Sylvie's control. The bad are not always punished, the good are often damaged in the fight, and even justice can leave you limp and tear stricken and saddened. Utterly compelling and masterfully written, GHOSTS & ECHOES fascinated and enthralled me, all the while breaking my heart.
Reading this was like trying to eat a particularly stodgy fruit cake. There were delicious pieces of cherry hidden within, but the rest of it was very heavy, hard work to finish and my brain-gut is not going to thank me for it later on.I think I'd enjoy this more if Sylvie could decide on whether she wants to walk the road of redemption or throw her morals to the wind and go for full amoral survival all the time. At the moment she wavers uncontrollably between the two leaving guilt and emo
