Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting
3.0
I just finished reading Dead Silence and am now left wondering if this is really the last book. After all, Ms Derting definitely ended this book with a huge opportunity for more. There are plenty of characters and storylines she can explore and branch out on, like Rafe and whether he'd finally hook up with Chelsea (although I'm not entirely comfortable with this pairing since I'm 45% RafexViolet, I still want Rafe to be happy).
Anyways, about Dead Silence. It's a good novel, I like the story and the characters. Although I do feel like it's not enough in a way, it's lacking. There wasn't much that happened, except for her discovery of the bodies, and finding out about her grandma. But this isn't as heart-racing as the previous book when she was kidnapped by that weirdo guy and even though it was very brief and seemed easy to get over and guess. And when I read in the summary that someone close to Violet was suspected of murder it added to the suspense and mystery cause I quickly thought it would be Jay, one of her friends, her parents or even her Uncle Stephen only to read that it was just was slightly disappointing.
I did like how her relationship with Jay is still as strong as ever, her relationship with her Uncle and how Gemma, who's usually mean to Violet showed a hint care. The echoes and imprints are still fascinating. I just really hope that there was more on the Circle of Seven and (if it's not too much to ask) an explanation as to who it really is behind the Center. And more on the members of the team; Krystal, Sam and Sara.
But there is always a possibility for a next book. Hopefully.
