Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting






Blurb:
A GIRL WITH A MORBID ABILITY
When a murder is committed it leaves a unique echo... on both the victim and the killer. Most people are unaware of these echoes but Violet Ambrose has always been able to sense them.
A SERIAL KILLER ON THE LOOSE
Now that Violet's town is in thralls of a serial killer the echoes of the local girls he has murdered are haunting her.
AND A BOY WHO WOULD NEVER LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HER
The only shining light is Violet's best friend Jay. She's started falling for him and his fierce protectiveness gives her hope that he may feel the same...
With the police at a loss, can Violet use her ability to stop the killer or is she in danger of becoming his next victim?

Review:
I read this in the car, I read this on my uncles couch while listening to his baby scream, I read this while my sister and mum had a screaming match but I didn't even care. I was too hooked. I only blogged about a book I read yesterday and now I have finished this one. I know,  I know, I say I'm hooked in all my posts but I really am. I love this book. The chemistry between characters, the turns, the parts in the book that keep you guessing for the next couple of pages. This book is probably one of the only books in a while that isn't a Vampire/Werewolf book but it is about a serial killer and a girl who can sense murdered bodies and I think that people think I may become a slasher since murders are all I talk about when it comes on the news so this book was kind of a perfect match for me.  I say I cry in my other books but my eyes only water, my lip actually quivered in this book, more than once. My friends tried to shut me up with cellotape today because I was screaming, 'HE'S GONNA KILL HER. OH MY GOD, HE'S GONNA KILL HER!' Two of my best friends tried taking it off me in my German Lesson because I wasn't listening and I had to apparently. Personally German isn't something I want to do and I'd rather read all day. My other best friend was begging for me to let her have the book. I promised her I would finish it tonight and I did without even trying, it was a doddle.
