Echo Prophecy 5/5

Wow! Just Wow!
At first I was like:


But by the end of the book I was:


So for me, I had no idea what I was getting into. The description of the book doesn't do it justice. A better, concise, summary would be:
"Experience the journey of an individual that learns about her Egyptian Mythology roots and has to use love to conquer evil." Or something like that!

For starters, Lindsey does a great job of giving insight into her main character. Lex is a well developed character, and we are given sufficient insight into her character to understand her actions.

The plot is refreshingly unique and takes some predictable twists, but overall, I was kept on edge around what would occur in the book.

I hate to do this, but this book can be compared to 50 Shades of Grey, yet this author has an actual plot that can stand without the romance. This book was exactly what I was looking for at the time, action with romance, and not too many complications.

Ok now the main character isn't the strongest I have seen a women as a protagonist, but she is a hell of alot stronger than Tris in Divergent or Katniss in the Hunger Games.

Basic Plot Summary:
Lex is to some degree, a lost individual, wrapped up in her dissertation in the intro of the novel. She continues to develop into a decent character. I do have one major niggle, her emotions seem to be that of a 17 year old not a 25 year old (bear in mind I am a guy... so I guess I expect girls to be slightly more developed, all well..).

I will say, the author does a great job of balancing both the romance and central plot (the egyptian stuff). Some of her weaknesses, would be lack of detail regarding the mythology stuff and rushed transitions.  Like really?? Lex is conveniently out for 3 months and therefore, the author can skip writing what occurs during that time?? WTF!

I highly recommend this book to anyone and can not wait for the sequel!
