I just finished this book. The second installment in Rove's Burning Girl Series that I'm addicted to. It was a page turner from the get go i had to finish it couldn't out the book down. The characters just keep getting better. Can't wait for the next book.

Blood echo does not disappoint. Charley starts out hunting down a killer but ends up with a lot more trouble closer to home.
I highly recommend this series.

This book was amazing, following right on the heals of Bone Music - the story takes place a little after the events in Bone Music.
Charley is hunting, but comes home to something even more sinister. Killers, terrorists, all kinds of evil lurk in the mind of Christopher Rice.

A Great Extension of the Story
Rice continues the story from the first book by advancing the plot, developing characters, and deepening relationships. Charlotte has accepted her newfound power and now faces the blurred moral line it pushes. Luke is wrestling with the fact that his girlfriend is a part of the action, while he is in a slow-paced job after having to give up on his much more dangerous dream career. Cole is becoming more likable and more dangerous. Noah remains a lit stick of dynamite. The situations become more complicated, and the ultimate outcome is still up in the air. I'm definitely planning to find out what happens in the third book.

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.

Burning Girl! Decepticon Toaster! I'm going to start this review with a warning I saw in another: If you have not yet read Bone Music, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. But you should *absolutely* read Bone Music... and then you'll be desperate to get this book in your hands immediately. :D (Also, if you haven't read Bone Music yet... stop reading this review now and go read it. :) )
Arguably one of the only maybe weaknesses of Bone Music is that Burning Girl... didn't. Here, we get Burning Girl burning early enough in the tale that you almost have to know it is going to happen again somehow... and Rice doesn't disappoint.
Along the way we also get a reference to one of those jokes that *always* makes me laugh: "My wife asked me why I carry a gun in the house. I looked at her and said "Decepticons". She laughed. I laughed. The toaster laughed. I shot the toaster. It was a good day."
Ultimately this continues the excellent work Rice began in Bone Music of creating a compelling Limitless-type superhero but focusing on the various interpersonal relationships at least as much as the superpowers/ action, and is very much recommended.

Bone Music was phenomenal and unfortunately, Blood Echo was OK.
There just wasn’t enough of Charley.
