This sounds amazing! I love mysteries and FBI stories and the premise of these kids having a special talent for profiling adds a bigger draw for me. I'll have to check this out. Wonderful review! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-33818090416955678352013-11-16T08:25:09.961-05:002013-11-16T08:25:09.961-05:00Definitely a plus!Definitely a plus!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-26883522383822111452013-11-16T08:24:41.869-05:002013-11-16T08:24:41.869-05:00I think you would really like it!

That is, until I read your review. I love creepiness, crime fiction, and plot twists, so your convincing thoughts have me very excited. Also, Gallagher Girl-esque characters? I'm sold. <br /><br />As for which character I'd want to be, I'd love to borrow Michael's powers sometimes. I'm not that bad at reading emotions, but we all have moments where some extra clarification about the people around us would be nice.

So glad you loved this one too. :) I thought the whole FBI/natural aspect was so cool and all the characters were amazing (Lia and Sloane reminded me of Macy and Liz too) and the "You" thing was so creepy! I also loved that you added some of your exclamations that you made while reading, because, YES, they perfectly describe the reading process of this book. :) Now *rubs hands together* when can we get ahold of Book #2? ;)<br /><br />Alice @ Alice in ReaderlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-73124118917377223242013-11-10T15:11:05.374-05:002013-11-10T15:11:05.374-05:00I would be MIchael because of reading emotions.

I keep going back and forth with it (on one hand, I LOVE the premise, but the love triangle is a major put-off) and I literally just decided yesterday that I was going to skip it for now. I guess I need to rethink that! :D I'm so glad it impressed you, Sunny. I love when plot twists manage to catch you completely off-guard like that. i hope it manages to do the same to me!
