I have to be honest, as a sequel, this was kind of disappointing(though The Body Finder is a tough act to follow). I still liked it, but for completely different reasons.

Desires of the Dead isn't driven by mystery as The Body Finder was, but rather focused more on the development of Violet--her progress towards accepting who she is with her ability, what she can do with it and not hiding/running from who she is.

There is still the romance-- which is getting more serious--and mystery intertwined within, though not as enthralling and full-force as it's predecessor, but still enough to keep me wanting more.

I can't wait to see what Violet does with her ability from here on out as well as seeing her and Jays romance blossom.

Overall, it was a great addition to the series in that it furthered the development of the characters and plot... I couldn't put it down.
