After narrowly escaping Alice’s clutches, Laura Jones, Maverick Schall, and the 13 other anomalies they rescued are finally safe - but not sound. No one from their old lives remembers who they are anymore, and the teens need to hide or risk getting captured again. Even with the odds against them, Laura is determined to find a way to get everyone’s memories back, and believes Alice knows how. As the group tries to track her down, tensions run high among Laura’s rag-tag team, and with each second that passes, Alice gets closer to her ultimate goal.

A sequel every bit as good as the original

A perfect middle installment with creative heroes!
Revisado: 02-11-23
This book went by so quickly in a good way! It’s the perfect middle installment in a trilogy: Anomalies jumped right into the action after the events of the Echoes and left the reader with the perfect setup for the final book, Heroes.
I read Anomalies in hybrid form: ebook and audiobook. I enjoyed the narrator’s performance in both books! Her voice is pleasant while still sounding like a 17 year old, and her character voices add flavor without being distracting.
No actual spoilers ahead, but I’m going to mention what some of the characters’ abilities are without mentioning specific events in this book. I think most, if not all of the abilities were briefly mentioned in Echoes.
I loved how the author explored the limits of the anomalies’ abilities, especially with Laura. I appreciated how the the abilities are either fresh takes on superpowers we’re used to seeing (like Gabe’s mind reading and the twins’ teleportation) or abilities that feel completely original like Veronica’s. I think it would’ve been easy to fall into the trap of having a recycled Justice League or Avengers type of group, but the author made this ragtag group of anomalies feel unique.
It also helps that they all have varying levels of control over their abilities, and the abilities themselves have varying degrees of power. Even with the supernatural elements in this series, it feels more realistic than other YA series I’ve enjoyed because these aren’t trained fighters and spies— they’re normal kids trying to find advantages wherever they can against an almost omniscient enemy.
Some vague spoilers here:
Adding to the realistic “they aren’t trained spies” thing… I love how the characters spent most of this book failing. They fought tooth and nail for little successes and planned to the best of their abilities, but again and again, they played into Alice’s traps. This book did a great job of making the villain truly intimidating, and her scheming also pushed the anomalies to use their abilities in ways they never expected—especially Laura, who finds that her seemingly useless echoes offer her a power of truth and clarity shared by no one else. I’m so excited to read the third book and see how it all ends!

Seventeen-year-old Laura Jones has always heard the echoes of the past wherever she goes. She’s gotten used to them, of course, and has learned how to live a relatively normal life despite hearing last year’s teachers in her classrooms, the past chatting in the hallways, and even herself talking to her family at home during years prior.

Intriguing and Original Story with a Great Performance!
Revisado: 01-30-23
What a great read! It’s been a while since I read a YA book, and I can’t wait to dive into the rest of this series. Even though we’ve all read and watched a million stories about a teenager with a secret power, this one felt fresh and original. I loved the specificity the author provided that Laura can’t just generally hear sounds from the past, but sounds that were created exactly one, two, five, etc. years ago. So much thought went into the accommodations she had with her noiseless office and newly built (free of echoes) house. I was hooked on this book as an adult and only wish I’d had it to obsess over as a teenager!
I read this book half ebook, half audiobook. I love the current cover art and the stars on the chapter pages! The narrator for the audiobook was easy to listen to and sounded age appropriate for the main character. They also did distinct voices for all the different characters that brought them to life, and I was able to keep track of everyone easily even when 3 or more people were having a conversation.
(Some light/vague spoilers ahead)
Because of these powers, the author introduced Laura and Maverick’s relationship in such a creative way: hearing their relationship begin in her echoes, following the sounds, and searching for physical evidence of his existence when no one seemed to remember him. By the end, she’s left what remained of her ordinary life behind, and I’m so excited to read the next book to see where she and the people in her new life go now.
