Extended description

Sometimes death is only the beginning...

Even after the bad day she's had, Cassy is still surprised to find herself shot, an innocent bystander in a drive by shooting. Bleeding to death in an empty parking lot, she knows she is going die.

What she doesn't expect, is the arrival of a strange, and unnaturally handsome, man who tells her he can keep her from passing on in return for being his forever. In desperation, she agrees but afterwards she is beyond dismayed to discover she has died.

To make matters worse, the stranger has disappeared, leaving her spirit to wander through a series of worlds unknown to her. Her existence is one of fear and loneliness, until she meets another like her and discovers she's not a ghost at all but something much more.

Review by: Sheila Deeth on April 29, 2011 :
Part of the Immortal Echoes series, Forgotten Echo by Jen Wylie is a delightful short story telling the mysterious tale of Cassy who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during a drive-by shooting. Just how right or wrong her timing is takes a whole novella to learn, and the author uses that space to create a fascinating universe, peopled with factions and laws that are still only hinted, still waiting with so much to learn, after a very satisfying read and enjoyable adventure.

If you’re thinking “ghost story,” then think again. Jen Wylie’s writing is much more imaginative. Cassy narrates her experience with delightfully everyday concerns—torn clothes, mess that doesn’t wash out—and an eagerness to learn that keeps the reader turning pages and wondering.

Echoes? You’ll have to read to find out what they are. Suffice it to say, poor Cassy makes a vital decision in those moments when life might run before her eyes, and the consequences leave her in a place she might never have expected. Trapped and free, she seeks a friend and answers and finds more.

The author’s richly imagined mythology has certainly drawn me in. I hope I might get to read more of this series—scif-fi fantasy, original, intriguing, and very convincingly told, with good and evil both just out of reach as complex mysteries weave their webs.

Disclosure: I was given a free ecopy of this novella by the author with a request for an honest review.

Hand's down my favorite of author Jen Wylie's short stories. What could possibly be better than a ghost story? An echo story. That was an easy question.

Follow this new series. I can't even begin to recommend it enough. It has everything from immortals to ghosts, romance to action, and you will love every word of it!
