The Echo of a Thousand Voices by Jillian Webster is the third and final book of The Forgotten Ones trilogy. In only 408 pages the author creates a perfect ending to her series, packing the plot with adventure, romance, emotion, and the thrill of the unknown. She has managed to squeeze every emotional response possible out of my body through the use of her words. I can easily say that this book is my absolute favourite out of the series.  Read more

But against all odds, Ethan and Violet have survived.  Read more
