Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I like this character of Violet and I want to like the story more than I did. I have to say that I was increasingly upset that Violet wouldn't tell someone what she was up to.

****Possible Spoiler****
Not that someone who said they were from the FBI was trying to contact her, not that someone was stalking her, nothing. I get that she was concerned for her family and friends because they were caught up in her last encounter with using her ability to find a serial killer. But this makes no sense. Her Uncle is the sheriff who would know who to call or how to protect her.

She's technically a minor and should have been approached by an adult who claimed to be with the FBI, or continued to meet this person without alerting someone.

I get that her ability compels her to seek out the dead thing that's calling to her, but she continues to put herself in danger by not letting someone know what she's doing. The term "half-cocked" applies here. She continually goes off half-cocked.

I like the idea that she may ultimately end up working for an organization with other who have differing abilities.

I even can say I liked the story though she frustrated me with how she handled things. Quick and fun read.
