One lost love.
One
lost best friend.
One
hot soul reaper.
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just
wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers
collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for
years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious
heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms
into her life.
The chemistry between them is mind-blowing.
The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for
everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general
pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever
felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.
Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be
her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A
Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated
because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a
Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.
Echo, Echo, Echo.... You beautiful, cocky, sweet, loving man. Torin has owned my heart, but Echo has shown that he is just as special in my eyes.
Cora has just been released from a mental institution and wants nothing more than for her life to go back to normal. But how can you have normal when you are regularly followed by souls and your world has been inhabited by Grimnirs, Immortals, Gods, Norns and Valkyries, and there appears to be mystery and danger at every turn. And then there's the gorgeous, infuriating soul reaper who makes your blood boil one minute and has your heart doing flips the next.
I like my books to be heavy on the romance and Ednah Walter's has delivered just what I need once again. I thought Cora's heart belonged to Eirik and I was so torn when Echo emerged on the scene. But Echo won me over. He is a man who truly believes that he's not worthy of love. He believes that his heart and soul are bad. Yes, he's done bad things but he's had such horrid pain in his life. Thank God Cora saw right through him and saw the beautiful, loving man that was buried under his cockiness. He protects, he cares, and he loves. Boy, does he love!!
There was lots of mystery and action to offset the hot romance and I found myself questioning almost everyone's motives at some point during the book. I really felt that I was taking this great journey of discovery right alongside Cora as she learnt more about her new world and it's inhabitants and her abilities.
I'm so happy that the author is writing these books to give us greater insights into the other characters. After reading this I liked Cora so much more. She has much more substance than what I originally thought. And as much as I want to get to know all the characters better, my greedy self is also jumping up and down because it means that the Runes series still has a fair way to go before it wraps up.
Theres not one particular thing that makes Ednah Walters Runes series a standout to me. It's a whole combination of things. It's the fantastic, easy to read writing style. It's the world building and plot twists. It's the incredibly likeable characters. Its the gorgeous swoony males. It's the fine line between Young Adult and New Adult that she manages to walk the story along. This series just keeps getting better with each book.
My Thoughts:
I shook my head. I'd never met a man with a one-track mind. "Just when I'm beginning to see something redeemable in you, you open your mouth and spoil it."

I wanted someone to kiss me like he couldn't get enough of me. Touch me like he'd die if we didn't. Look at me like he was seeing me for the first time every time we were together. I wanted Echo.

His chest was right there, begging me to kiss it, so I did, and he groaned. Best fantasy ever.
