Trust Me (Fingerprints, Book 3) [Paperback]

Melinda Metz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 5, 2001

It was Anthony who helped me understand what I can do-who showed me that I wasn't crazy.

I was only trying to thank him, to help him find what he's been searching for his entire life. But he thinks I've betrayed him.

He doesn't understand that the answers I found aren't what either one of us expected-and the truth could hurt me as much as it hurts him.

More About the Author

Melinda Metz grew up in San Jose, California. People sometimes ask if she knows the way there. She kinda does, but she has an off-kilter sense of direction, so to be confident of arriving, it's better to consult some kind of navigational device.

Her mother tried to teach her to read in kindergarten, but Melinda had no interest. She also had no interest in learning to write her name. (FYI, when Melinda was in kindergarten it was all about finger-painting, play time, and naps.) Eventually, she mastered both and even majored in English at San Jose State University.

After college, Melinda moved to Manhattan to seek her fortune, which involved learning to identify fruits and vegetables while working at a grocery store,
making $2.73 working backstage for an off-off Broadway play (her part of the box-office profits), and editing books.

Melinda and the lovely and talented Laura J. Burns pretty much became unofficial writing partners when they were editors at the same company. They teamed up to brainstorm story ideas, and at some point their brains fused in some key places. Later they worked on the Roswell High book series, Laura developing and editing the series, Melinda writing.

That series led to Melinda and Laura, now an official writing team, writing two TV pilots, moving to L.A. to work on the Roswell TV show, and briefly living in Toronto while on the writing staff of 1-800-Missing. They both continue to write books, together and separately.

Melinda has never regretted learning to read and write her name.

This review is from: Trust Me (Fingerprints, Book 3) (Paperback)

Rae Voight knows her life will never be the same. She knows she is in constant danger. And she knows that because of her powers, her friends, which include Jesse, Anthony, and of course Yana, will never be safe around her. And the last thing she would want to do was betray any of them. But when she tracks down Anothony's dad and finds out the horrible truth about him, that he is in jail for armed robbery and murder, Anthony thinks she's betrayed him. But even more terrifying than that, Rae finds out some more of the truth about her mother, she begins to think that her life might be in danger, not only from her stalker and someone she doesn't know about trying to kill her, but from something else. Only she doesn't know what... Fingerprints #3- Trust Me is by far the best book of the Fingerprints series so far. Just like the others, you will not be able to put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars The thrilling third book in the Fingerprints series., June 5, 2001

By

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Trust Me (Fingerprints, Book 3) (Paperback)

Rae Voight knows someone is out to get her, and that someone has no hesitation about using the people she cares about in order to fulfill his twisted scheme. She only has the help of her friends - Anthony, who knows about her mysterious abilities, and Yana, who doesn't, but does know something is not right. In an effort to discover the origins of her powers, Rae digs deeper into her painful past - and discovers more about her mother's life and death than she ever would have wanted to. The terrible secrets she has uncovered could help Rae to save her own life - or put her in even more danger. And the greatest threat could come from something even more deadly than the man who wants to kill her. That threat is the same unseen force that killed her mother, and it is a threat that Rae understands even less than her stalker. This was a thrilling continuation of Rae's story, and the wait until the next book comes out is far too long.
