Author: Kimberly Derting
Series: The Body Finder, book #4
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publication Date: April 16, 2013
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.
The Body Finder series has been praised as a “delectable blend of mystery and romance” (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books), a “fast-paced, compelling read” (ALA Booklist), and as “imaginative, convincing, and successful suspense” (Kirkus Reviews). With a perfect blend of romance, intrigue, and suspense, Dead Silence continues this gripping series, delivering unexpected twists that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.

Why I'm waiting: I love this series. First, there's the totally healthy, teenage romance between Violet and Jay. Yes, there may be a kink thrown in there, but I think they'll survive. Second, this girl senses the echoes left behind by the dead. I find that so freaking interesting, and I can't wait to see where this next chapter takes us. I only hope this isn't the final book...I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters!
So, what are you waiting on this week? Tell me in the comments or leave a link so I can stop by!
The covers for these books are always so gorgeous--simple but evocative. Hope you get your hands on this soon, Jen. And happy new year!!
