Echo, by Kate Morgenroth

The book ECHO, by Kate Morgenroth, follows the story of a young boy named Justin who has to deal with a voice in his head after his brother Mark's death. Before his brother’s death, Justin was a popular guy among his classmates and dated Megan, one of the prettiest girls in school. After the accident involving his younger brother’s passing, everyone began to look at Justin as a monster. The voice in his head makes Justin relive the day that he got in a fight with his former best friend, which lead to a horrible accident.

I personally enjoyed reading this book because of the mystery behind it. It was interesting to find out what the voice in Justin’s head was. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes mysterious and suspisious stories. The characters in the story have very interesting personalities, which helps keep the story going. This book made me think about the consequences and aftermath of a tragedy that follows people in their daily lives.
