Book Review – Through Violet Eyes (Stephen Woodworth)

Book 59 of 2007 was Through Violet Eyes by Stephen Woodworth.

In a world where the dead can testify against the living, someone is getting away with murder. Because to every generation are born a select few souls with violet-colored eyes, and the ability to channel the dead. Both rare and precious—and rigidly controlled by a society that craves their services—these Violets perform a number of different duties. But now the Violets themselves have become the target of a brutal serial murderer—a murderer who had learned how to mask his or her identity even from the victims. Can the FBI, aided by a Violet so scared of death that she is afraid to live, uncover the criminal in time? Or must more of her race be dispatched to the realm that has haunted them all since childhood?

Through Violet Eyes is Stephen Woodworth’s debut novel. I thought this book sounded alot better then it turned out to be. I liked the idea behind the story, but I thought the character development was weak. The romance sub-plot was clumsy and forced. The ending was what you wouldn’t expect, but I’m glad it turned out the way it did.
