When the Dead Come Home
by B.L. Brunnemer
~My thoughts~
WELL, this author's writing has evolved. The first book in this series was all about Lexi's point of view, now it's multiple perspectives (Kind of like a tv drama). Not saying it's bad but, just when the actions start with a BANG, cuts to a different perspective that is happening at the same time. While it has happened in other books in the series, the characters are not what they used to be. Now the author has also made them into main characters and they will not stand to be in the background while Lexi is taking the action. I do not particularly like getting in the mindset of the enemy. There is a scene where Lexi gets kidnapped but because it involves the supernatural world, of course, no one called Rory to tell him this, this would have help in apprehending the person responsible for killing the women around town. At the same time, how can Rory explain to the police force if they even see unexplainable force or if one of the witches casts a spell and makes them believe they did not see what they just saw. While Lexi figures out who is responsible for containing the souls, she can't tell Rory because there is no evidence. Sometimes when I see the mind of the villain it kinda feels like I see the plot like ahead of time and how it might be playing out.
~Characters~
One of my problems is Miles and although I know he is the one who is on top of everyone, he has changed significantly since the camping trip as well as in this book, not only does he keep checking up on everyone on the relationship status but he does not come clean to Lexi about his background something the guys thought he had. While the boys are dealing with both relationship and their friendship, Lexi has to deal with the supernatural world and the real world trying to balance both.
Jessica and Tara take the revelation well. Tara, yeah because she has her cousin who can see but Jessica? Well, it might be because she just saw an interesting scene unfold.
Getting in the minds of the enemy, well that is a new one.
~Book~
What can I say about the journey?
Well, for one thing, it's not boring. It has it's action pact moments, secrets do get exposed (as read from my rant), relationships are tested, and enemies are closer then everyone realizes. More secrets are being kept and I can not wait for the next book because I know for sure that Lexi might be getting down to understanding her powers and she is still growing, making her enemies realize that she is just getting started and a third party might be involved.
