Echo by Alyson Noel is the second book in her Soul Seekers series. It is set in the small town of Enchantment, New Mexico. A town that is pretty depressing due to be run by the Ritchers, a clan of Coyotes who are dark magick.
Daire is the Seeker, a person charged with keeping the balance of the good and evil. She and her boyfriend, Dace, have been busy trying to restore the Lowerworld since the events of the Day of the Dead when Cade, Dace's very evil twin, restored his dead ancestors. During their time working together, Daire and Dace become closer, and their love growing.
When they finally declare their love to each other, the learn a horrifying truth, Cade is able to gain power as their love grows stronger since he is Dace's Echo. Daire and Dace vow to keep their distance, while each figures out a way to stop Cade.
To be honest, this book not only dragged a lot, and generally got on my nerves. Daire and Dace are so sure that each other their plans to kill Cade is right, but neither seems to be able to get it together. And all the whiny angst about loving each other, but being able to think about it got old real quick. Seriously, for two people who vowed to stay apart, they found themselves together an awful lot.
The idea that true love making pure evil stronger just does not sit well with me. Maybe I spent way too much time watching Disney movies, but I am a believer in true love conquering all.
The way this book dragged, and was so full of whiny angst, I am not sure if I want to read the rest of the series.
