Blurb:
The dream comes every night: A warrior clad in leather and
wielding a spear, fighting off demons with the heads of jackrabbits and pumas.
Defending her.
Echo Ruiz knows it’s ridiculous. There’s no one in Santa Fe
less likely to need defending. Thanks to the migraines, she’s confined to her
mother’s house. Her Native American Studies classes are online, and she hasn’t
made a new friend in a decade.
Until her twenty-first birthday party, when trickster Coyote
himself shows up. An hour later, Echo is on the run from the power-hungry god.
Her headaches are gone. Her mother is a hostage, and she’s been thrust into a
mirror-world of deadly loveliness to fight or die.
Her dream warrior? He’s as real as the sweat on her skin.
His name is Zeke, and he remembers a lot more about Echo than she does about
him. So does her best friend, Layla, who has secrets Echo’s never guessed.
But if Echo wants to defeat Coyote—if she wants to
survive—she’ll have to discover the way herself. Because that’s one ending the
legends have never told…
My Review:
Echo Ruiz has been home schooled and is confined to her home
due to migraines that are so intense and painful that they put her down and out
of commission when they appear.
It is Echo’s twenty-first birthday and her mother is
throwing her a birthday party and the guests have been invited plus one that
her mother is not aware of until the last moment. When she finds out she hits the
roof. Echo and her mother argue. Her mother says no way is this guy she doesn’t
even know, a guy she met online is coming to the party and Echo is like oh yeah
he is arguing that her mother can’t control her life anymore as she is now an
adult.
But before a real decision or the argument can be settled
the god Coyote shows with all intensions of taking Echo with him but before
that can happen her best friend Layla shows up to help out. Echo is like whoa
who is this girl and what kind of secrets has she been keeping.
Layla is not the only one who shows up to help Echo. Guess
who shows up this time? None other than her dream guy literally. Echo has been
dreaming of this guy Zeke for a long time but she never dreamed that he was
actually real.
Come to find out Zeke and Layla know more about Echo than
she knows herself. Echo also finds out in a matter of minutes that her mother
has been keeping secrets from her for a long time like her whole life and now
her mother is gone. Coyote has taken her hostage and Echo must find out who she
is and what she is capable of in order to find her mother.
The Spirit Seducer has been a very fast paced read that kept
me glued to my chair flipping the pages wanting to more. It drew me in with all
the twists and turns that show up on every page. Every time she turns around
someone is there trying to take Echo so she must fight for her life. The world
building and the action in The Spirit Seducer is so intense that it kept me
gripping the arms of my chair and rooting for Echo, Layla and Zeke during every
fight scene. And that ending just blew me out of the water so to speak I never
predicted that one but it was good so good that it kept me hanging on and
wanting to know more. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in The Echo
Series to see where Echo, Zeke, Layla and all the other characters take us next
on their journey.
If you are a fan of fantasy and the paranormal then you are
going to love Echo and Zeke’s story which by the way I do recommend tremendously.
