“The sight of beautiful blue eyes snaps me back to reality. Veronica stands at the bottom of the steps, appearing like an angel in the midst of a nightmare, and looks awestruck as she watches me. “You heard it, didn’t you? You heard and felt the ghost?” - Katie McGarry, Echoes Between Us
- Echoes Between Us my new favorite book by Katie McGarry!! The writing and storytelling really stand out. The way some of the chapters are written, I felt like I was watching a movie. I’ve loved Veronica since Only a Breath Apart and I’m so happy that she gets a chance to tell her story. She is confident, funny, and adventurous. Veronica is a character who I’d love to be friends with!! I grew to love Sawyer once I got to know him. I can relate to Sawyer and it made me appreciate his character more. Sawyer’s close relationship with his little sister, Lucy, is so sweet. Lucy is the adorable and comedic relief character of the book. There’s just something about the innocence and wonder of children. I also liked Sawyer’s friends, Miguel and Sylvia. I would love book where Sylvia is the main character.
- In the beginning, I didn’t think I could see the connection between Veronica and Sawyer. Of course, Katie McGarry proved me wrong!! They are so cute together. Veronica and Sawyer brought out the best in each other and my heart was soaring over it. They are so heartbreakingly beautiful. Watching Veronica and Sawyer grow together was so inspiring and powerful.
- It was so fun to see returning characters and little details connecting Echoes Between Us and Only a Breath Apart. I really enjoyed seeing Jesse, Scarlett, Nazareth, Leo, and Glory again!!
- The paranormal aspect in the book was so exciting for me to read. I’ve always been interested in historic and haunted places. I strongly believe in ghosts/spirits and I’m fascinated by people’s experiences with them. Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures is one of my favorite TV shows. I’ve learned a lot about ghost investigations from the show and I had an understanding of the technology and terms that were used in the book on the subject.
Echoes Between Us has so many things that I love in it. It’s a YA contemporary romance with paranormal aspects of ghosts and haunted places. The ending was so beautiful and hopeful. I’m convinced that I was meant to read this book. Echoes Between Us was my best and favorite read of 2021!!
