"Beats The Silence of the Lambs for suspense—it's the kind of book that had me literally gasping aloud as it rattled to its incredible conclusion."
—Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Homeland

What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister?

Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister, Rosa. But he’s also certain that she’s a psychopath—clinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; he’s the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the manipulation she’s capable of.

Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosa’s “acting out.” Now that they have moved again—from Bangkok to New York City—their new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Che’s always been Rosa’s rock, protecting her from the world. Now, the world might need protection from her.

Uau, isso foi muito louco!!!

Minhas expectativas para este livro eram muito altas - sou fascinada por estórias de assassinos em série / sociopatas, então quando ouvi falar de um livro sobre uma garota fofa de 10 anos que era um sociopata, não consegui resistir. E hey, foi incrível! :D

Eu tive alguns problemas com os pais do Che e algumas coisas que foram descobertas mais perto do final do livro, mas tirando isso esse livro realmente me assustou, o que era exatamente o que eu esperava.

Eu queria MUITO que essa estória se tornasse um filme!!
