Echoes is a reprint of the first three of Metz’s Fingerprints series. There are more, but I haven’t been able to find out how to get them yet.
Echoes is about Rae Voight, who hears people’s thoughts through the fingerprints they leave behind. All she has to do is touch something that they have touched before with their bare hands, and she will be able to hear what they were thinking while they were touching the object.
At the start of the story, she doesn’t know about her ability and believes that she’s going crazy hearing voices in her head, but with the help of her friend Anthony, they soon figure it out, and not a moment too soon. Someone out there knows what Rae can do, and they want her dead. Rae and Anthony have to find out who it is before she gets killed.
Since this book only consists of the first three books in the series, I don’t know what happens in the end yet, but I have loved the journey so far. I do have my theories on who it is that wants Rae dead, and I believe that it’s quite obvious, but I don’t want to give out spoilers here. I could be totally wrong and have been fooled by Metz, but at the moment, I think I’m probably right.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the books and find out if I am right. I have missed reading YA books, and I really enjoyed this one more than most. More sophisticated readers may feel that YA books are sometimes too simple and not realistic enough for them, but I find that I’m more able to suspend my belief when reading YA than when reading more serious novels.
I finished this book before 2011, but have only been able to review it now, so I won’t be adding this into the list of YA books I’m reading for my challenge.
