I liked it the characters of Neil and Holly and the cases that they had called to solve was hard enough But I would enjoyed much better if the story was not so detailed. I believe too much information for the both parts of the story was confused and some times a little bit boring.

This book was sooo different.... This book was letters to their 16 years old selves and was like confession and acceptance about their mental problem that they had since that time... It was as if they had their selves across them and shared their experiences from the age of 16 to the age that they have now, writing this letter. As a human person I can't really criticize their letters because it's like I changing the plot of their story... Yeah ... I hope I could but I can't.... For this young people that suffer from mental health and they dared to write those letters and their struggle everyday to stay in this condition I tell them Bravo and Keep going this way. For the writer and inspirer of this book I tell her that she's made a real good job and she has to keep trying to help as many young people as she can, with every mean she have. As a reader the only thing that I didn't enjoy so much is the fact that I was reading about the same condition with other person. Anxiety and depression was almost in every letter. The wrong thing about this, is that she chooses to put it in her book repeatedly and the repeat it's not good in any form. Next time that the writer decide to do something like that, I suggest to wait and find and other incidents.
P.S. This book is better not to be readen by someone with mental problem ... If he haven't be helped by some doctor or counsaller it's possible not helping him at all.... But I believe that must be read from all others.
I hate Maths.... and with this book I still hate maths. But I loved this book....
First of all I love the writing. Fast and fresh it was a joy to read tI hate Maths.... and with this book I still hate maths. But I loved this book....
First of all I love the writing. Fast and fresh it was a joy to read this story. Secontly I loved Eva character... This girl was amazing... She was realist, with confidence, with humor and 100% conscious about her condition... and not forget the math madness so she was super clever. But I loved Zenn character too. He was the good guy with all the meanings. Hard working boy who try to support his mom, who try to finish the school and who try to survive from his father past. And the 2 of them make a very interesting couple... because they linked in some way even if they don't know.

Bad little girl was a psychological thriller about a little girl (Lorna) and a teacher of her school (Claire).
It was a book where the limits of sympathy and help are complicated by the way of empathy and wrong conclusions.
It was a strong story and sometimes I wanted to scream from the crueliness and the craziness of the characters.
The teacher clearly had issues of her own... She was weak and miserable with low selfesteem .... so and Marriane but they were as guilty as Lorna on this.
Synopsis ... The story was interesting, the psychological tricks were interesting, the chapters in the begining was too much... in the middle more less and in the end too few... It was a quite good psychological thriller but it could be much better.

But let's talk about the others chapters.
The book began with a strong story. A missing child and a murder. Credits for that. So the first 5% was full of interesting, agony and with good prospectives... And then... nada... nothing... pause... It was like someone speed the car with 200km/h and suddenly drops the speed to minimum... What sense was give me this book... Thoughts, thoughts and thoughts. There was Eden, a special agent of FBI, who was a woman with a deep and dark past in a cult in the small town where the body was found and there was Zack the Sheriff of this town that he was tried to solve the disapearnce and the murder as well. Thoughts so many thoughts.... about the past, about her mother and this story was soooo slow... The romance (because as I find out this was a romantic suspence) even that, came too late for my standarts .. (in 45% of the book). And somewhere in 93% of this book ... something happen and the "car" speed up again... The closure of this story had all this things that a mystery book sould have. Agony and fast scenes... and ofcourse happy ending... Anyway, as I said in the beggining I was ready to rate this book with 1 star..
If today someone saw a blonde girl, on public transport to sniffle and sucking the nose, stop wonder, it was me. This book was very sad and unfair. TheIf today someone saw a blonde girl, on public transport to sniffle and sucking the nose, stop wonder, it was me. This book was very sad and unfair. There is Jayce who must be strong to deal the situation of her mother. There is Kirt a new friend that makes her life a little better. There is a dad who he never be around. There is a little sister who she needs attention and love. There is a grandmother who's not so good mother and there is a mother that struggle to survive

The plot was very good. The killers were perverts and crazy as it should. But I had issue with the main characters. Our main character is paramedic and his best friend is cop. There were times when Ethan (the paramedic) did a better job from the police. Basically Ethan and his friends managed to solve the whole case. Practical? Yes Smart? Not so. I don't know how the things work in the USΑ but I am sure that no one likes to say how to do his job. Especially when it comes to the police. I can't understand how a paramedic can have access in police cases just because his friendship with a cop. In other words this book humilate the police in a way that not fits in a mystery crime book. The authour could to give Ethan another profession (eg the law) so that all this cooperation to be more believable and convincing.
So in the 2nd book we've got more adventures, more agony and much more informationWait... Whaaaaaaaaaaat???
Oh meeeeen... this was a storng ending !!!!

East and West attached in this way creating an adventurous setting, of mystery combining customs and Oriental myths. But wThis story was awesome !!!!!
East and West attached in this way creating an adventurous setting, of mystery combining customs and Oriental myths. But what impressed me was that the author managed to put me through the pages of the book ... There were moments that really lived. I felt the heat of the heat and walked along with Amani and Jin in the desert..
The truth is that this book reminded me of some other books ... For instance the writing style reminded me Daughter of smoke and bone by Laina Taylor also some points reminded me a little of the Tiger Curse by Colleen Hook in other points came to my mind moments of the Game of thrones... But that was only a sense that doesn't bother me.
Our story begins in a village somewhere in the depths of the East for a girl who wished she had been born a boy. Orphaned by parents were forced to live with her uncles. (as I said we are talking about the East so we are talking about subservient women, men with many wives, etc.) who tolerate until they find her a husband. If they didn't found anyone would take her, her uncle.
So the girl she didn't want to live this way and taking advantage of the gift that has with guns trying by all means to raise money and to escape from this place. Taking part therefore in a shooting contest meets a foreigner.... and here begins our journey.
P.S. The book was sent by the author of netgalley.com for an honest review ...more
