Review:
I say it every time i review one of Tamara's novels, but it still reigns true. I love this book and Tamara is a fantastic writer! I think at this point you guys need to just stalk her writing life, and buy and red every book she produces. That is just my opinion, though.

Death Speaks, the sequel to the first novel in the death series Death Whispers, was a fantastic second book. It didn't dwell too much on the past. Of course the BIG issue that happened in the first novel was still hovering, but it wasn't all that was going on. A lot of series take the problem from the first novel and keep dragging it on, making up a thousand excuses of why that problem can't be resolved just yet, but Death Speaks brought a whole new conflict into the mix. A conflict, that i thought was extremely interesting and kept me entertained the entire time.

Of course like always i loved all the characters, and Jonesy is still by far my favorite. I love the crush forming between him and Sophie too. I feel like there was a lot more violence this time, especially targeted towards the female characters, so it was definitely an angst-ier book and definitely got the reader's blood pumping.

Overall:
I loved it, just like i love all of Tamara's novels. The main plot in this novel was awesome and i loved reading every detail about it. I wish i could have been there with Tiff and Caleb to actually see everything. I still love the characters and think that Tamara kept them all true to nature, but Jonesy is still my favorite of them all. Go you Tamara! And everyone go pick up this novel, or any others by her =D
