Among the Echoes is a full length standalone novel.

My name was Dr. Erica Hill. I was a victim, then a witness, and then I ceased to exist altogether.

I may still be breathing, but stripped of my identity, I have long since stopped living. I am invisible, and my life depends on my ability to stay in the shadows.

But he sees me.

Slate Andrews is the embodiment of everything I have been taught to avoid. He’s rich and famous, and one image of him with a woman would earn millions for any paparazzi lucky enough to snap it. He has vowed to protect me with his life, yet he exposes me with his every breath. I should be stronger and walk away. I should disappear. But I’m terrified he would come after me.

I’m on the run, determined not to take him down with me but absolutely unable to let him go.

My name is Riley Peterson…at least for today.

This novel contains material that may be offensive to some readers. Including sexual abuse, graphic language, and adult situations. Intended for readers 18+.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her four hilarious children.

Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys movies that can surprise her with a twist, charcuterie boards, and her mildly neurotic golden retriever. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a glass of wine by her side.

4.5-5 stars. Amazing story. The beginning starts off dark but also sets up the situation for the characters. Erica has survived a horrific experience and only trusts 1 person, her friend and rescuer, Leo. The opinion of Leo as a rescuer might be debatable, but I would say that the initial circumstances required survival and that's exactly what happened. It was still all kinds of wrong but I liked Leo because he genuinely cared about Erica and looked after her in a protective way. The fact that Erica only trusts Leo demonstrates how little love and support she has had in her life. When Slate meets her, Erica is a terrified and skittish woman always looking over her shoulder. Slate observes that her behavior is abnormal but as he gets to know her, he sees more of the real person underneath who is actually incredible in so many ways. Still, Erica has many secrets that she can't share but she is beginning to trust Slate. What I loved was that despite the attraction, Slate and Erica moved slow because Erica needed it that way and Slate understood even though he didn't have all the facts yet. He comes off as a guy who gets what he wants whenever he wants, but Slate doesn't push his luck or demand too much of Erica even if he's definitely an alpha all the way. Erica intrigued me because of her layers. She was so cautious and fearful, but also very loving and brave, but could be funny and sarcastic. It was wonderful to see all of her different sides come out throughout the book. She and Slate balanced each other perfectly. I was drawn to Slate because he is so controlled and put together on the outside with his routines and focus on his career, yet he wasn't the sort of person who ever had his priorities mixed up. His intentions always came from his heart and he had a little bit of a savior complex that Leo recognized as being beneficial for Erica. He wasn't broken, but he was definitely a loner and he had a lot to offer if he chose to be someone's friend. The suspense and thriller element keeps the plot moving and unpredictable and does not disappoint. I haven't read the other 2 Wrecked & Ruined books by Aly Martinez yet, and even I could appreciate the unique ending leading to a story for other future characters. Definitely give this book a chance.

Oh my god I loved this story. It started right off & had me hooked right to the end. I loved Leo, Slate & Erica’s characters so much. Slate was so perfect & patient w/Erica. He knew she was hiding something & he knew it was bad. As determined as he was to find out, he was also gentle not to push her too much. Slate was the best thing for Erica. She grew so much stronger & got her strength back because of him. And I loved the relationship between Erica & Leo, he was so much more than a friend & protector. He sacrificed a lot to keep her safe all those years. I even enjoyed the friendship between Leo & Slate. The ending had me floored, I was so mad at Leo at first & wanted to know what was going on. But when everything played out I didn’t even see it coming.
This was such a great read. I’ll be honest I wasn’t going to read Sarah’s story after book 1, I couldn’t stand. However, after book 2 I was more curious & was interested in getting her pov. But, after reading this book & loving Leo so much I’m definitely diving into their story!

So I email Aly and beg her pretty please can I get an early copy…Please Please Please with a cherry on top…And because she is awesome she’s like sure..Ok maybe she was like who are you and why did you fill my inbox with 25 requests, but whatever….I got my arc…

So here I am on a Sunday morning and I’m drinking my coffee. Swinging in my hammock..enjoying my day and then boom….I download this book..This is going to be so good..Aha love story…Oh I can’t wait..

I open the book and the first thing I see is

“Kill her”
“No! Please! I didn’t see anything!” I scream, backing into the corner.

UMMMM…What What What the hell is this??? So I continue reading and I have to say that the first three chapters are so heart wrenching, soul breaking, and the most scariest chapters I’ve read…I must have filled up her inbox with about 200 emails..To say I was shocked is an understatement. I was in shock..How..What..Why..Where..WHAT THE HELL!!!!

My name was Dr. Erica Hill. I was a victim, then a witness, and then I ceased to exist altogether.

I may still be breathing, but stripped of my identity, I have long since stopped living. I am invisible, and my life depends on my ability to stay in the shadows.

So she moves into a new apartment..and she meets her neighbor..
HELLLLOOOO

Slate Andrews is the embodiment of everything I have been taught to avoid. He’s rich and famous and super hot…

Their first encounter is different for each of them, she thinks he’s a killer, he thinks she a fan looking to sell his story to the tabloids..
When he finally gets her to open up and trust him, he falls in love with the woman that he thinks she is. She is so scared to let her guard down and finally acknowledge that he’ll never leave her or that nothing can happen to him.

When push comes to shove who is going to win?? Will she leave to make sure nothing happens to him and will he actually et her..

It was such a great story and it had me from the first sentence. And then the ending…ALY FREAKING MARTINEZ…YOU'VE DONE IT!!!! My jaw is being peeled off the floor…And yes I emailed her also after I finished. I’m sure I’m on her blocked list..But im going undercover, and after reading this, I now know how…

I read Broken Course before Among the Echoes and im so glad Erica and Slate have their own book. After reading about Erica's relationship with Slate after they're already married, this book tied it all together for me and answered all the questions I had. I freaking LOVE Erica and how can you not totally love Slate too?! Thank you Aly Martinez, I'm a total fangirl!

This author never fails. This is a very dark start to a positive thriller, with a very romantic twist. Rape, kidnap and murder are not your average romantic storyline but out of the darkness and terror a seed is down which flourished. The scenes are graphically written and it is for this reason it may disturb some people. We all have different tastes and strengths of tolerance, and although these scenes are sympathetically written and needed for the storyline, it may be to much for some. However it is the growth of one incredible young lady Erica, and the ordeal she suffers. It is the attraction of Slate towards this lady that we embark on a roller coaster of a journey. It is descriptive, well written, runs smoothly, and only graphic when it needs to be. All characters are totally believable and Leo is as strong as the other two main characters. We have terrible trust issues. The inability to tell the truth for fear, but the most tender and protective moments imaginable. A fabulous book . A stand alone possibly but I know Leo gets his story told in the next book Broken course.

My second book of Alys and was not disappointed. Erica & Slate ❤️
From the first page I was hooked.
Did not want to stop reading
Took kids to park so they could play for 2 hrs while I read (win win for family 😊)
Now to decide which of Alys books to read next. Pretty sure it will be Leo’s story.

This book is about violence, hope, true love and serenity. He is a professional boxer that loves her at first sight, while she is a rape victim that is hiding from the mafia.
At the beginning she doesn't want to trust and desire him, but then they become an item, who want serenity and fight for their love.

Erica/Rily has been through stuff that no human being should suffer. Due to circumstances her and Leo/Dave are bound together in order to survive.
Along comes Slate/Adam. The attraction between Erica and Adam is almost instantaneous! Erica is afraid to get involved, afraid of the danger that her circumstances may bring into Slates life as well as her's and Leo's.
The story is filled with lots of drama and suspense.
Good read, I recommend this book.
