Product Description
Can't believe she did that . . .
. . . at four-thirty I have to . . .
. . . I hate this place . . .
Rae Voight is losing her mind. When she walks down the halls of Sanderson Prep, she hears voices . . . even when no one is talking. Other people's thoughts crowd her head, a confusing tangle of insecurities and dark secrets. Just when Rae reaches her breaking point, one voice comes screaming through the din, loud and clear:
. . . Rae must die . . .
If Rae doesn't figure out who the thought belongs to soon, she could lose more than just her sanity.

Acceptable,
By
This review is from: Echoes (Paperback)
There were some good and bad points of this book. Overall it was an acceptable book. This book is actually three books in one which I didn't realise when I bought it.
The main character Rae is likable and so are most of the others. Sometimes some of the things she did annoyed me, but that might have been just me. I made some predictions about this series and I'm pretty sure I'm right. Though its supposed to be a surprise its kind of obvious who the mystery bad guys are, or maybe Im just a bit better at figuring this stuff out. Overall, entertaining, and I would like to read the next books in the series but only to see if I am right.

Great Read!,
By Cari "Cari's Book Blog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echoes (Paperback)
How does Rae Voight, the popular girl end up in a mental hospital? Rae had a breakdown in school when she was hearing thoughts that weren't her own. Being that her mother died in a mental institution after murdering someone Rae thinks the same is happening to her.
While forced to attend group therapy she meets Anthony who is very short tempered. Anthony figures out that when Rae touches a finger print she hears what the person was thinking at the time. As Rae spends more time with Anthony she realizes he always goes out of his way to help his family and friends. When accidentally reading Anthony's prints Rae finds out he never knew his father and a lot of anger comes from having a learning disability. Just as Rae is coming to term with her gift she finds out that someone is trying to kill her. She also starts receiving packages and weird notes that later lead to her mother. The entire time Anthony is at her side trying to help her. [Anthony KISS HER!] I really like that Rae has a good handle on all the obstacles thrown her way. I also love that Anthony is sweet and is often misunderstood. I only wish that Rae had picked up on what Anthony felt sooner. Echos was published earlier as Fingerprints 1-3. The cover is stunning and will make you want to pick it up in bookstores. The stories are easy to devour! My only thought is CLIFFHANGER!!!! Fans of The Body Finder will love this book. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Phenomenal Book (Series),
By CoLiamPet - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echoes (Paperback)
Echoes is actually a re-release of books one through three of the Fingerprints series which was originally published in 2000/2001. Contrary to what another reviewer noted, the entire series is easy to locate, I found it in its entirety on Amazon in two seconds and bought each one for Kindle ($4.99/book). Anyway, I digress. This is, hands down, the best series I have ever read. Melinda Metz has a true gift for creating vibrant characters and drops them into such a fascinating world and the reader is compelled to stay seated until the final page is read. I think what I love most about her writing is that she has an uncanny ability to meld suspense and tension with everyday life. In one scene you're falling through a skylight in the search for a kidnapped friend, in the next you're running late for group therapy. And it works! What's more, there is so much happening that you simply don't notice that you've killed three hours devouring a book.
This book has everything, mystery, suspense, love, heartbreak, teen angst, etc. and it's all blended masterfully into a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The dynamics between Anthony and Rae are electric yet the budding romance is subdue and tender. These two are, at the core of everything, good friends. It's a wonderful lesson for teens, especially in this age where most books tout epic love affairs, that at the heart of it all you should fall in love with your best friend. The paranormal element are truly original and the unfolding mystery is so gripping you simply can't pull yourself away. This is a must read! And once you've finished, do yourself a favor and complete the series by reading Fingerprints books four through seven. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
4.0 out of 5 stars
7 book series.. not a trilogy!,
By CRISTY "Mommy of twins" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Echoes (Paperback)
This is a fun well written story that is easy to get sucked into.. which I did.
The story is based on a High School Jr, Rae Voight, who finds out that she can pick up "echoes", of other peoples thoughts by touching her fingers to theirs, or to the fingerprints left behind on objects they've touched. When the "not-her" thoughts started popping into her head, Rae fears she was going insane like her mother, who had died in a mental hospital when Rae was a baby. The new revelation of Fingerprinting causes Rae to question whether her mother really was crazy or if they had more in common then just their looks. Rae is a likeable and relatable character, as is hard-to-resist bad boy Anthony. The two form a close friendship after Rae uses her special gift to clear Anthony's name in a criminal case.. which reveals evidence of a much more disturbing conspiracy that could cost them both their lives. This story has it all.. non-stop action, romance, assassination attempts, kidnapping and murder. Fans of books like the Body Finder and Whisper will enjoy this paranormal mystery which is captivating and hard to put down. Unfortunately I was unaware that is was a reprint of a older series (books #1-3).. which is great, aside from the fact that the series is a collection of 7 total books (not a trilogy)... and books #4-7 are nearly impossible to get your hands on. Incredibly frustrating!!.. I REALLY hope that HarperCollins Publishing plans to do a reprint of the final 4 books soon, although I was unable find any encouraging evidence of that on the web. I recommend this book.. if you don't mind hunting down the final 4 books, other wise you'll have to be content with the story ending quite unfinished and a huge cliffhanger to chew on. |
