Compared to the first book, I feel like this one is a mess. I didn't feel all that connected with Piper. She has a lot of new 'challenges' in this story, and they just made me uninterested in her story. While reading these new ideas seemed forced, and like they didn't fit in with the story. A lot of the chapters I would have liked more detail on just seemed rushed to keep it under how many ever pages. I hope the series gets better, but I won't be reading it to find out first hand.

It’s just slowly getting a bit more childish as it progresses. The obsession with Sloan is a little weird, idk how she can say it’s love already. And then the introduction of Rush as an interest was just unnecessary. And then the whole alien thing and Seers felt like it completely came from nowhere

Much of what grabbed my attention in book one is lacking in book 2. I don't know what changed exactly but I just can't get behind this one.

I bought this right after finishing the first one because I had to know what happened next. And then I read the entire thing on my lunch break. I was glad to see how the story continued, especially with the way the first one ended and enjoyed getting to know Piper and her friends a bit more. Of course I've already started book 3 because I just have to know where Dawson is taking all of this. I didn't much care for the new character that was introduced in the 2nd half of the book but that's all you get from me because of spoilers.

After Dying to Forget, I expected more from this book then it gave me. Still a fascinating premise that a spiritual terminal of sorts exists for some.

Happiness is...
Finishing books one and two in a new favorite series in a couple of days.
Finding new favorite characters that make you feel like you have lost your best friend as soon as you finish reading the last page.
Finding a new favorite author.
So, obviously, I am in love love love with this series. The idea is different than anything else I have read. I cannot wait for book three.
Dying to Remember picks up right where Dying to Forget leaves off, with Piper seeing Sloan at The Station. While I was sad for the choice that Sloan had made I was super excited to see them together again. Piper is send on her longest and most difficult assignment yet, which just happens to be only her second assignment, and boy does she have her work cut out for her! I don't want to say too much in my review because I would hate to ruin any of the surprises and where the story line goes. Once again, I would highly recommend The Station books! Read them, share them with your friends, your family, anyone who loves to read! Too bad I have a Kindle full of other books to read or I would be re-reading them again!

As soon as I finished the first book, I wanted to get my hands on the second book. When I received the second book, I couldn’t wait for even a second to start it.

This book continues where the first book ends and so we get to know many things and many mysteries and “big things” unfurls in the second book.

I liked the second book and enjoyed it alot but I didn’t love it as much as I did the first one. The second book was also amazing but I guess my expectations were higher though I’m not disappointed because this book contains many different and new mysteries about The Station and what is beyond it which I’m really curious to know. Don’t worry, I’m not going to spoil anything at all.

I love Piper more in this book. She’s not annoying or whiny like some typical YA heroines but she’s hopeful, curious and a bit stubborn but not in an annoying way.

I love her friendship with Kerry-Anne and how these two including Mallory care about each other. I loved the parts when all three of them would just sit together at the fountain and talk and talk like normal best friends. Except that they’re dead. I hope to read more of their friendship in the third book.

I also admired the connection between Sloan and Piper and their love for each other. Although I wasn’t into their relationship too much, I was curious to know about their connection.

Did I mention that I also the connection between Niles and Piper? I don’t think I did. I love that he was like a fatherly figure for Piper. It’s like she has her own family in The Station and that is so sweet. I love Niles. He’s such a sweet and kind person. <3

I admire the author’s writing and how she carefully choose the words that made the readers more hooked on the novel. The story was gripping and some shocking revelations left me stunned. The world that she has created is full of mysteries and secrets that makes a reader curious. Her writing style is commendable and how she expressed every single detail and emotion of Piper is applaudable.

There were some mistakes in the format I had and that actually made it harder for to comprehend some moments and scenes in the book but they could be negligible. Apart from this, everything was really good and I highly recommend the series.

I’m looking forward to reading the third and last book (I guess) in the series.

Although this book was good, I'm surprised where they decided to take it... I'm not sure I will be reading the rest.

I took a fairly big break in the middle and near the end of this book so maybe that's why. It wasn't as compelling as the first, I think.

Annoyingly, yet brilliantly typical of Trish, this book leaves us hanging - badly. When I finished this, I had to jump right on amazon and buy the next installment. That means I not only couldn't put it down but couldn't stop even when the book stopped.

I'm painfully waiting for the third installment of her Find Me series as I write this, I know other fans of TMD are with me here.

Without spoiling anything, this book is an amazing read. A great continuance of Dying to Forget, #1 in the Station Series - it elaborates on what happens to suicide victims and opened my mind ( and hopefully yours too) to other worlds and realms. This book kept me intrigued while causing me to think which is a wonderful gift Trish has.

READ THIS SERIES - you will not be sorry. You might find yourself thinking about all kinds of things you previously thought impossible, OR even - helped. If you've lost someone or been suicidal yourself, you've got all the more reason to read this series.

While it is fiction -it is mind-opening.
