Silence by Michelle Sagara

4.0

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

This was a good book. Not a great book, but decent enough.

Emma meets Eric and finds out he was sent to kill. To say she isn't happy is an understatement. He becomes woven in her life and learns she isn't what he thought she was.

What was great about this book: The interaction between the living and dead. It was easy to read and there wasn't a lot of excess to bog down the plot. The idea of the the story was amazing. I loved the characters including Michael and Chase.

What wasn't so great about the book: The characters were way too accepting of what the bleep was going on.
SpoilerI mean, oh we saw a dead person in a hospital room. My friend is a Necromancer, oh okay.
Um, hello, where is the freaking out! There was another thing that bugged me. It could have used a bit more explanation for things. So I was floundering quite a bit of the time. Not for long, but long enough. The last thing was that I had a heck of a time getting through the 0 chapter called Emma. It was in present tense and drove me batty.

Thankfully the rest of the book was past tense.
