Cassandra asked Jodi Perkins:

Hi, I just finished your book today and wanted to let you know how much I loved it! It was so fresh and unique and beautifully written! Oh, and I got a question, too. Is the next book in the series taking place right after this one ends? Because I saw that Aviva is up next but she is the youngest of the sisters and if Taz is 16 and Krystal around 14 than she could only be 12 or 13, right?

Jodi Perkins Hi Cassandra, I'm so glad you enjoyed my book! To answer your question, the next book in the series, Black Lilies, starts immediately where Chasing Echoes ends--right at the candlelight vigil. But Aviva is actually the second-youngest of the sisters. Krystal is the baby of the girls. Aviva is fifteen when Chasing Echoes ends, and will celebrate her Sweet Sixteen in chapter 3 or so of Black Lilies, so she is actually sixteen for the majority of the book.
