I will say, it did keep me at the edge of my seat wondering what is really happening most of the book and even at the end I was interested in jumping into the next book right away. Did they go to Berlin and forget before being put on an island or is it the other way around? Also wtf is going on with this pharmaceutical company that they got the internship with and what is their role in Miles and Fiona being totally lost and confused as to what is going on. I seriously spent the entire time trying to figure out which location timeline came first. The story is only told from Fiona’s PoV and alternates between an island she and Miles have crashed on, and Berlin, the city they showed up in for an internship that isn’t at all what it seems. Miles and Fiona have never gotten along well in school but both are picked for an internship with a pharmaceutical company in Europe and will be working with with each other for the duration or at least that is what they thought. Even after the ending I’m still not entirely sure and I don’t think you will be either. But that said, this is one of the few YA novels that have gripped my attention in awhile and I’m sure that has everything to do with the what the heck is going on aspect of the book. I don’t know if I’ve outgrown it a little or if the tropes have just gotten a little redundant and obvious that I’ve lost interest in so much of it.

I haven’t been reading a lot of YA lately. Well the short answer is I still really don’t know, and I love it. What is real, what is happening, who can be trusted. Something that won't let them leave alive.Įchoes, is the first book the Echoes duology, maybe trilogy I’m not sure but it will twist your head and make you wonder the entire time what is going on, much like this show Lost or The Maze Runner. And soon, the most chilling discovery: something else is on the island with them. No plan to follow, no hope to hold on to.Įach step forward reveals the mystery behind the forces that brought them here. Fiona and Miles, high school enemies now stranded together.
