A Jennifer Lynn Barnes consegue surpreender-me sempre. Mesmo que já devesse estar à espera de um final completamente inesperado quando ele aconteceu eu fiquei de queixo caído.
No entanto, uma coisa curiosa foi que neste livro eu nenhum momento descobrir quem era o unsub, acho que foi porque eu percebi que os naturals estavam a trabalhar tão bem que não valia a pena pôr me ali no meio, o que é um bocado estranho ahaha.
Agora que terminei o livro é daqueles que te dá vontade de reler agora que já sabes o final e tentar apanhar aquelas pequenas pistas que às vezes nem reparamos e olhem que eu nem sou pessoa de reler livros.
Achei muito interessante que apesar de ter o ponto de vista do assassino em série estes não eram assim tão longos de forma a que não pesasse assim tanto o clima, mas que conseguisses apanhar mais algumas informações e perceber melhor a cabeça dele mesmo assim.
Estou bastante curiosa para ver o que os naturals têm pela frente.

Обожаю триллеры и детективы. Отличная книга своего жанра, правда триллер/детектив + young adult читала впервые. Читая произведение, думала о Менталисте, Теории лжи, CSI и Сидни Шелдоне, благодаря которому я полюбила подобные книги.

Я до последней строчки думала, что все будет несколько иначе. Масса вариантов, но ни один из них не был правильным. Разве что ели заметное предположение оправдалось, но и то, я его отбросила, поскольку подумала, что это нереально. Вы не догадаетесь, кто убийца, не дочитав до конца.

P.S.: *спойлер* Team Dean :D

as a first timer diving into Barnes's works, i'm not not disappointed. also, I'm fully aware this works was targeted for young adults and unfortunately I'm not one anymore. despite, i enjoyed the ride while reading the book and all the puzzles! even guessed the killer right nearly at the end of the story :)

appreciate the research and energy Barnes has poured during constructing the world of The Naturals. because years later it's all still seems real, the flow of the words is almost movie-like it makes the reader feel alive, there isn't rushed nor slower pace in between pages. also Barnes built such a good experience starting from the emotions, tensions, until the climax. and somehow, though this book has been published 12 years ago, the excitement to solve the puzzles, the snide remarks as a teen, the characterization and plot is still good to read. 

i love this series, already. I could imagine you will soon, too!

That plot twist. Did not see that coming. 

YA criminal minds is such a good description. Anything that is described as my favourite tv show is an immediate yes.
