This post was supposed to be up last week but due to my sick week it wasn't going to happen. I'm very sorry to miss the tour but I want to share my review.

Synopsis:
The countdown clock reads ten days until the end of the world. The citizens are organized. Everyone's been notified and assigned a duty. The problem is . . . no one knows for sure how it will end.
Energy-hungry Mages are the most likely culprit. They travel toward a single location from every corner of the continent. Fueled by the two suns, each Mage holds the power of an element: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or ether. They harness their powers to draw energy from the most readily available resource: humans.
Ashara has been assigned to the Ethereal task force, made up of human ether manipulators and directed by Loken, a young man with whom she has a complicated past. Loken and Ashara bond over a common goal: to stop the Mages from occupying their home and gaining more energy than they can contain. But soon, they begin to suspect that the future of the world may depend on Ashara's death.
Review
I received Echo in return for an honest review as part of
the tour hosted by Xpresso Book Tours. The world is ending the Seers have seen
the future however the elders have been resetting the time-line back ten days
in hopes of being able to change the future. Ashara isn't a practitioner she has no
elemental abilities but with the timeline reset she assigned to the Ethereal
task force. Her leader also just happens to be her ex-boyfriend Loken whom she
still has feels for even though he ended it nine months earlier.
Ashara’s best friend Rey is a Breather meaning he can control
the air and he’s thrilled to be part of the Breather task force and drive a transport.
Ashara on the other hand isn't thrilled after having lost her little brother to
a mage attack before. As the slowly run out of time she learns that she does
have the ability to manipulate ether in the air and that they will be fighting
mages. As she dives deeper into the truth she learns more than she bargained for
that she is the cause for the end of the world. Will she be able to save
everyone or will they be forced to reset again?
I instantly fell in love with Echo. The concept is unique
and exciting I found it refreshing a new spin of the apocalyptic concept. The
characters are amazing I felt like I was connected with Ashara the story gives
us a full spectrum of emotion I shared with her. Plus the book is filled with
great secondary characters like a love interest, best friend, a secret keeping
elder or two and many more. Echo’s story pulled me in right from the start and
didn’t let go till the end. An action packed adventure it keeps you on the edge
of the seat filled with twists and turns plus a little romance. I found the
writing style beautifully done it’s a story that teens as well as adults will
enjoy. I look forward to reading more books by Alicia Wright Brewster.
