Enter to win a signed copy of Unraveled by S.X. Bradley (Evernight, 2013). From the promotional copy:
Sixteen year old math whiz, Autumn, spends her days reading about serial killers and dreaming of becoming an FBI Profiler. She never dreams her first case will be so personal.
Her world is shattered when she comes home from school and discovers her murdered sister’s body on the living room floor. When the initial evidence points to a burglary gone wrong, Autumn challenges the police’s theory because of the personal nature of the crime.
Thinking that finding the killer will bring her family back together, she conducts her own investigation using her affinity for math and forensics, but her plan backfires and her obsession with the case further splinters her family.
When her investigation reveals the killer is someone she knows, Autumn offers herself up as bait and sets a dangerous trap to unmask his true nature and to obtain a confession for her sister’s murder.

Loved the synopsis, it enticed me to read. If the killer is using a rope in the crimes, then the cover is great. I'd be disappointed if the rope on the cover is just a play on the "unraveled" title.
I loved the synopsis for the book. When I was 16 I also wanted to be a profiler so I was immediately intrigued by the story. I also love the cover, especially the unraveling rope. Such a great symbol for her life unraveling after her sisters murder.
The synopsis makes the book sound very appealing. Serial killers and investigation are a pretty popular subject in adult books, why not in YA too? I'd read it.
LOVE the synopsis! It sounds like a wonderful thriller experienced by a unique girl.
The cover is lovely as well – awesome colors and I love the girl thinking about what she'll do.
Thank you:)
like that the character's smart
