SUMMARY(from Goodreads):
To change the world, I may lose everything
All Eva ever wanted was the chance to be herself. But in the Americas, to be hybrid—to share your body with a second soul—is not tolerated past childhood. Now Eva and Addie, her sister soul, are constantly on the move, hiding from the officials who seek to capture them. But the tide is changing. A revolution is brewing, and people are starting to question the hybrids' mistreatment.
Then Marion, an ambitious reporter, offers Eva and Addie a daring proposal: If they go undercover and film the wretched conditions of a hybrid institution, she will not only rescue them, she'll find a way to free Jackson, the boy Addie loves. It's risky, and Eva will have to leave Ryan and her friends behind, but if she succeeds, it could also tip the scales forever and lead to hybrid freedom.
As Eva and Addie walk into danger, they cling to each other and the hope of a better future. But the price they might pay is higher than they ever could have imagined.

REVIEW:
I have tried to write this review several times, and I'm still having trouble finding the right words to describe this book. I'm not quite sure why, but the words I am coming up with are so inadequate for describing this story and how fantastically amazing it is. So I am apologizing in advance for my poor choice of words.
As always with trilogy endings, I will try to keep this brief so I can avoid spoilers.
This trilogy is so...amazing. The way the story is crafted is superb, and the characters are molded so perfectly. Eva and Addie's development from book one to book three is fantastic. The concept is so unique, and the writing flows so well.
The ending was perfect. SO PERFECT. I felt satisfied with everything.
Overall, ECHOES OF US did not disappoint in the slightest. I highly recommend reading this trilogy is you have not done so already!
CONTENT: This book was very clean. Kissing is the only thing content-wise, and that isn't even detailed a whole lot.
