If The Affinity Theory introduced us to the powers, the people, and the potential of Uri City, then Echoes turns up the volume, the velocity, and the vulnerability.
This isn’t just a sequel. It’s a war cry.
Eddie Dee Williams builds on the solid foundation of his breakout debut with a blockbuster follow-up that’s one part X-Men, one part True Blood, and all-out Captain America: Civil War. The Elite Defenders Unit returns, only this time, the soul of the city—and perhaps the fate of powered people everywhere—hangs in the balance.
The stakes? Catastrophic. The emotional arcs? Deeper than ever.
Symone steps into the spotlight, navigating newfound power, professional ascension, and the terror of emotional intimacy as her past rises with destructive intent. Malcolm, whose internal peace has long been his anchor, finds himself unraveling in the wake of a personal confrontation so seismic it could collapse the entire world he’s rebuilt. And Wova? Still haunted by control, self-doubt, and the burden of leadership, she continues to be the heart of this stormy series.
Williams threads explosive action with precise emotional beats. A political coup, a Senate vote, and a rogue faction’s rise create a thrilling backdrop—but it’s the characters’ individual battles that give this story its heat. Identity, loyalty, and generational trauma echo loudly in every showdown.
If the first book asked: What can powered people become?
Then Echoes asks: What will they destroy—or protect—to survive?
Standout Moment: The Uri Mega Mall meltdown is the kind of opening that punches through the page—heartbreaking, horrifying, and technically cinematic. But what lingers is how Williams uses that spectacle to dive into a deeper question: When children manifest power, what does society do—nurture them, fear them, or weaponize them?
Final Vibe: Echoes is relentless, raw, and remarkably human. It’s about choosing who you fight for—even when you’re fractured inside. It’s about monsters (both internal and institutional), and whether unity is possible when your past is still bleeding.

I loved this one more than the first one! Every super hero fan should have this book on their shelves, it’s really for us.I want to first say thank you for the chapter titles a lot of books don’t have that these days. Wow I really enjoyed how this story developed and the new characters that came into play. Once again the elite fight to save uri city while dealing with their own life trials and trying to balance it all. Symone and Malcom are finding out things about themselves individually and I think I know where this is going I’m so excited to see where this saga goes.Thank you Eddie for this ARC . I hope you are currently writing book three because this saga is going places. This book was well written and flowed very well it had me stuck from the first page. On another note the quality of this book is amazing 🤩 the cover and feel of the actual book is really nice. This book did not disappoint, it brought all the action and some laughs. Good job again! #Afinitysaga

I had the honor of reading Echo's book 2 of The Affinity Theory Saga. The first book was amazing with action packed scenes that kept you on the edge of your seat. Now book 2!!!!! Let me tell you!! This book took all of the action of book 1 and raised it from its little pedestal to the clouds. This boon has so many actions, we meet a variety of new characters, some you’ll love to hate. The ending of this book, literally had me yelling on live video. I’m a detail-oriented person and I can’t for the life of me figure out how he did it. It will have you going back to book 1 and trying to figure out how it’s possible. RUN DONT WALK TO BUY THIS BOOK SUMMER 2025.

The team had a new case they needed to resolve. There was action, intrigue, Malcolm and Symone having me go through it 🤭, and a cliffhanger that will have me back for book 3!
Mr. Williams, made some very salient statements/social commentary, that now ring more true than ever, making me love it all the more.
"It's politics,... and politics is theater. It's all one big fat show. What do people with power want? More power. And when that power is threatened, people will do whatever they need to do and say whatever they need to say to keep it.”

love that this isn't wrapped up in a little bow! what a cliffhanger! I am stoked for the third book. Man, Malcom went through a lot in this book and still going through it. love that we got to know our beloved characters a little better in this book! the writing is still very well done, super smooth read, and so easy to feel like the words are lifing off the page and you're watching a TV series or a movie again!
