The dream comes every night: A warrior clad in leather and wielding a spear, fighting off demons with the heads of jackrabbits and pumas. Defending her.Echo Ruiz knows it’s ridiculous. There’s no one in Santa Fe less likely to need defending. Thanks to the migraines, she’s confined to her mother’s house. Her Native American Studies classes are online, and she hasn’t made a new friend in a decade. friend in a decade.
Until her twenty-first birthday party, when the trickster Coyote shows up. An hour later, Echo is on the run from the power-hungry god. Her headaches disappeared the moment her mother became Coyote’s hostage, and Echo’s thrust into a mirror-world of deadly loveliness to fight or die.
Her dream warrior? He’s as real as the sweat coating her skin. His name is Zeke, and he remembers much more about Echo than she does about him.
To defeat Coyote—which Echo must do to survive—she’ll have to discover the way herself. Because that’s one ending the legends have never told…

I loved how Layla and Zeke were protectors of Echo. Echo has a huge learning curve when monsters cross from spiritual realm ctoss to kill her. Friendship and support is so important. Action and suspense await you.
Echo Ruiz is an innocent. Her mother has kept her hidden away. It’s made her feel isolated. Why all the secrecy? The answer is finally revealed at her 21st birthday party. Coyote, the trickster, appears and takes her mother hostage. Now she’s running from a power hungry god. To protect her there is Zeke, a warrior, and her best friend, Layla. I was pulled into The Spirit Seducer by the mythology and by the non-stop action. I could understand how Echo felt. She was thrown into a world that she had no experience with. I wanted her to defeat her enemies. I was glad that she finally understood why her parents did what they did. It was amazing to see how quickly Echo adapted. I want her to help fulfill The Prophecy. I plan to be with Echo and Zeke on the next step of the journey. I enjoy the writing of Alexa Padgett.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.
This is a Fantastic read. That intrigues from the first page. Echo has dreams. That seem so real. Until after her Birthday. Now her whole world is shook up. This is a fast paced read. And the Author really brings the characters to life in the book. And the emotions. There are heart pounding scenes that have you on the edge of your seat. A definite must Read

Echo Ruiz has been home schooled and is confined to her home due to migraines that are so intense and painful that they put her down and out of commission when they appear.
It is Echo’s twenty-first birthday and her mother is throwing her a birthday party and the guests have been invited plus one that her mother is not aware of until the last moment. When she finds out she hits the roof. Echo and her mother argue. Her mother says no way is this guy she doesn’t even know, a guy she met online is coming to the party and Echo is like oh yeah he is arguing that her mother can’t control her life anymore as she is now an adult.
But before a real decision or the argument can be settled the god Coyote shows with all intensions of taking Echo with him but before that can happen her best friend Layla shows up to help out. Echo is like whoa who is this girl and what kind of secrets has she been keeping.
Layla is not the only one who shows up to help Echo. Guess who shows up this time? None other than her dream guy literally. Echo has been dreaming of this guy Zeke for a long time but she never dreamed that he was actually real.
Come to find out Zeke and Layla know more about Echo than she knows herself. Echo also finds out in a matter of minutes that her mother has been keeping secrets from her for a long time like her whole life and now her mother is gone. Coyote has taken her hostage and Echo must find out who she is and what she is capable of in order to find her mother.
The Spirit Seducer has been a very fast paced read that kept me glued to my chair flipping the pages wanting to more. It drew me in with all the twists and turns that show up on every page. Every time she turns around someone is there trying to take Echo so she must fight for her life. The world building and the action in The Spirit Seducer is so intense that it kept me gripping the arms of my chair and rooting for Echo, Layla and Zeke during every fight scene. And that ending just blew me out of the water so to speak I never predicted that one but it was good so good that it kept me hanging on and wanting to know more. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in The Echo Series to see where Echo, Zeke, Layla and all the other characters take us next on their journey.
If you are a fan of fantasy and the paranormal then you are going to love Echo and Zeke’s story which by the way I do recommend tremendously.
