Strange things are happening to Daire Santos. Crows mock her, glowing people stalk her, time stops without warning, and a beautiful boy with unearthly blue eyes haunts all her dreams. Fearing for her daughter's sanity, Daire's mother sends her to live with the grandmother she's never met, but who recognizes the visions for what they truly are-the call to her destiny as a Soul Seeker-one who can navigate the worlds between the living and dead.

I'm gonna give this 3,5 stars, but I'll round it up to 4, because Goodreads still doesn't play well with halves.

What you need to know about this book is that it involves some crazy "magick" and souls are a big deal. There's also some sort of telekinesis going on and kind-of-but-not-actually possession of animals. It is a very complex plot that you need to keep track of or you'll get lost, but it all comes down to a simple basic: there's light, there's dark, they're on opposite sides.

I've seen some not so nice reviews for this book, and I have to say I don't understand why they think it's so bad. This wasn't the best book I've ever read and I do think that sometimes a little simplification of things would work well with such a complicated plot-line, but it wasn't at all bad. I enjoyed it. And, so far, the main character hasn't gotten on my nerves (which happens a lot in books similar to this one). I liked the whole Seeker thing, I think it's an interesting concept. Curious about the Echo part. Hmm.

I'll try to get my hands on the rest of this series and see where this will lead me.
