The Body Finder (book review)

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting, is a suspenseful mystery with a sweet romance all in one.  

16-year-old Violet Ambrose is not your average girl. She was born with the unusual and morbid ability to sense the dead bodies of those who have been murdered. She has never considered her ability useful (finding mostly little dead birds that her cat had played with a little too hard).

Meanwhile, Violet begins falling in love with her childhood best friend Jay Heaton, who is now becoming very popular amongst the high school girls.  She wonders if he feels the same way about her, and if he does, will this change their friendship forever?

Now that a serial killer is also loose in her small town, targeting young girls, Violet begins to realize she may be able to use her unusual ability to catch the killer.

Or, could she end up being the killer’s next victim instead?

We’re having a used book sale on the same day, so for only $2 you could take home 2 sticky treats AND a new (to you) book!

Did you know that Spanish has a way of distinguishing between a brand new book and a book that’s just new to you? For example, el nuevo libro means “the newly acquired book” whereas “el libro nuevo” means a newly made book. In English, we have to make due with awkward parenthetical explanations. Yaaaaaaay!

Okay, focus people. We were talking about our awesome hour and a half sticky confection-o-rama. All ages are welcome. Proceeds benefit the Teen Advisory Council Of Students of Calvert Library.

Stick you there!
