She Was Only Trying to Help...., July 30 2003
This review is from: Fingerprints #3: Trust Me (Paperback)
Rae Voight knew that she owed Anthony for all of his help - big time. He was the one who discovered that she wasn't going crazy, she just was picking up other people's thoughts when she touched their fingerprints. Rae is learning how to control her new skills, but she can't help but remember that Anthony's deepest wish and biggest fear is to find out about his dad. Rae wants to do something nice for Anthony and so she convinces Yana to help her find out about Anthony's father. Rae quickly discovers that Anthony's dad is in Scott State Prison. She doesn't want to tell Anthony, though, not until she knows what kind of a guy his father is. Unfortunately, Anthony's dad won't talk to her so Yana comes up with a plan to get them into Scott State and even get a full on tour! While she's there, Rae "reads" someone's thoughts and realizes that there is someone in prison who knew Rae's mother, Melissa. But who, and how? Rae doesn't get the chance to find out and she can't even tell Anthony because he is furious with her about finding his dad. Anthony doesn't know what to do about his dad. He finds out from Rae that he is in jail for killing someone during an armed robbery and knows that he can never be good enough to be around someone like Rae. He tries to keep his distance from her and even agrees to start doing some robbing with a group of other guys to make some money. Rae is really hurt by Anthony's attitude, but she is determined to find out the truth about her mother. Her mother died in a mental hospital after murdering her best friend. Rae can't understand why her dad just doesn't face the fact that her mom wasn't the great person he thought she was, but she is also starting to wonder if her mom had powers too... This is the third book in the Fingerprints series and it starts right after #2 ends so it is really helpful to read the first two books first. This book is more about deepening the mystery around Rae & her mother and furthering the plot from previous books than anything new going on. If you have read the first two books, you'll totally be into it; if not, you will feel like the book is kind of pointless. Still, the characters are great and the book is fast paced. Just remember to have the next books in the series ready to go when you finish!

AWESOME!..., May 28 2003

This review is from: Fingerprints #3: Trust Me (Paperback)
I LOVED the whole series of fingerprints by Melinda Metz!! When you read the book, everything just feels so real! There is a bit of EVERYTHING in these books. There is adventure, mystery, magic, teen romance.... These books are one of the best that I have read. The vocabulary used isn't the highest, it's everyday English that people use in high school. These books aren't very suitable for people under the age of 12-13. There are some drug and drinking scenes, as well as some of the characters who are making out. My favourite part in this series is that Rae, Mandy, and Yana are all connected some how. They all have powers given through the genes. I absolutly LOVE these books full of mysterious events.

Great Book!, Jun 11 2002

This book was really good, but it wasn't the best. Rae goes looking for Anthony's dad because she felt like she had to. She needed to repay him, but instead of thanks, she got him mad at her because she didn't tell him she was going to visit his father. In this book Rae tries to help Anthony with his reading disorder. When she tries to visit Anthony's father a second time, this time with Yana she finds some disturbing news. Not only did people at this place know her mother, but they know Rae now too. Using her ability, she finds information about her mother that is very disturbing....
