Blood Echo

Written by Christopher Rice

Narrated by Lauren Ezzo

A conspiracy that promises bloodshed and the only woman who can stop it collide in the page-turning thriller by Christopher Rice, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Bone Music.

Kidnapped and raised by serial killers, Charlotte Rowe suffered an ordeal that made her infamous. Everyone in the world knew who she was. But no one in the world has any idea what she’s become…

Charlotte is an experiment. And a weapon. Enabled by a superpower drug, she’s partnered with a shadowy pharmaceutical company to hunt down and eliminate society’s most depraved human predators. But her latest mission goes off the rails in a horrifying way. Unsettled by her own capacity for violence, Charlotte wants some time to retreat so she can work on her new relationship with Luke, a sheriff’s deputy in the isolated Central California town she now calls home.

If only the threats hadn’t followed Charlotte there.

Something sinister is evolving in Altamira, California—a massive network of domestic terrorists with ties to Charlotte’s influential and corrupt employers. As a vast and explosive criminal conspiracy grows, the fate of Charlotte’s hometown hangs in the balance. With everyone she cares about in danger, Charlotte has no choice but to bring her powers home.

Charlotte Rowe has been triggered, and now she’ll have to take matters into her own powerful hands.

Reviews for Blood Echo

[tuusannuuska-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Sometimes star ratings are really confusing to me, because a three star read can be a real disappointment, and it can be a completely acceptable read. It all depends on the book. In the case of Blood music, the rating is a "I liked it, but I'll never re-read it" kind of rating. I still like the satisfaction that comes from Charlie totally dominating, but it almost feels cheap. You know how things will end, so the stakes aren't that high. I'm also fed up with misogynistic, homophobic, lunatic villains. As well as with references to Noah/Dylan's and Cole's past. I found the spin on Charlie being the protector of Luke well enough. Gotta love a man who's masculinity isn't threatened by his girlfriend saving his ass.

I badly want to talk about this book! But I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll tread carefully.First, I highly recommend starting at the beginning of this series, with Bone Music. While Rice does a great job of scattering details as reminders, this is the kind of series that is more a continuation of a storyline than separate plots with the same main character. I really love this series. Rice gives us a unique spin on the traditional thriller, with what might feel to some like an element of science fiction. But the science behind it makes sense to me, and I can see it as a possibility, so I have no problem making that leap. The characters are well developed. We're given a lot of emotional depth that adds layers to the story.The content offers much to think about on issues such as vigilante justice and our illusion of privacy.While there are aspects of this series that will be ongoing, we don't have any major cliffhangers. The immediate issues of the plot are resolved, which I appreciate because I really despise cliffhangers.This is definitely a series I recommend!*I received an advance copy from the publisher, via NetGalley.*
