Where Echoes Die

4.5 stars!!!

I generally enjoy YA horror/mystery/thrillers and this was no different! This novel follows two sisters as they set off to a town in the middle of the desert that their late mother had an obsession with, and when they arrive, things are much werider than they every imagined. The pseudo-science had me super interested and just how weird everyone who lives in this town was made it hard for me to put this down. I just needed to know all the answers! This features a very sweet female/female romance that I wasn't expecting and my biggest gripe is that I wanted more of them! I'm super excited to read Courtney Gould's other full length novel and anything that she writes in the future!






Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.

Rating: 3.1 leaves out of 5Characters: 3/5 Cover: 4/5Story: 4/5Writing: 4/5Horror: .5/5Genre: Horror/Mystery/Thriller/Sci-fi/LGBT/RomanceType: AudiobookWorth?: YeahHated Disliked Meh It Was Okay Liked Loved FavoritedWant to thank Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to listen to this book.For the people who know me, they know I don't like YA. I am very turned off by the genre BUT this was kind of well done. Yes, Becca has her YA moments but given what she has gone through I can't fault her for it, plus you know... her age and all. Though I usually say that writers need to stop making their characters stupid. Just because they are a teen doesn't mean they don't have freaking brains. These adult AF writers need to learn that shit real fast.Courtney is a prime example of having a teen be a teen but have brains. Kudos. You might be asking well, if you liked it so much why is it so low rating? Well, as you can tell it is the horror part of it all. I wouldn't call this a horror. I'd call it a mystery thriller. I get the concept of it all could be scary but in the end I am not really scared at all. Also, reactions. BOY LEMME TELL YA. How she treated her sister that WHOLE time and how her sister was a WEE bit mad but MEH about it all? That isn't a normal reaction nor can it be justified. I was gravely disappointed in that whole bit. This could have been an easy 4.5 or even 5 if it hadn't have been for those two things.In the end, is it worth? YES! If you like things like A Cure for Wellness I HIGHLY suggest this book to you.
