by Kimberly Derting (Author)
The second book in the steamy, romantic Body Finder thriller series by Kimberly Derting.
Violet and Jay are finally dating, but adjusting to the new relationship is not as easy as Violet anticipated. Especially when she has to split Jay's time and attention with his new best friend, Mike, and Mike's pesky younger sister--who happens to be obsessed with Jay.
Meanwhile, when Violet's supernatural abilities lead her to the body of a young boy, her tip to the police puts her on the radar of a dangerous FBI investigation. Violet tries to fend off the FBI's questions while maintaining the semblance of a normal life, but somebody's leaving her threatening notes, and a mysterious echo reinforces that this chilling paranormal thriller is far from over. Violet is forced to admit that perhaps the only people who can help her figure it out are the very people she's desperate to avoid--the FBI.
