Goodreads Summary:
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.

My Thoughts:
Unraveled was a really interesting read and I definitely
enjoyed it, if you are a fan of crime shows and mystery solving then there is
no way you wouldn't want to read this one. Bradley has created a great
character in Autumn that is everything you want, she is strong and determined,
and intelligent, she won't give up until her sisters murderer is found and I couldn't help but feel the same way.
Autumn is a certified math genius and her one dream is to go
to MIT and become an FBI profiler, she is forever changed after one day she
comes home to find her sister murdered, devastated but determined she is going
to use her genius skills to find out who did this to her sister, but along her journey for justice Autumn
finds even more than she ever expects to find.
I hoped that I would enjoy this book because I love watching
crime shows and get interested in how they find things out the way they do and
following the mystery get solved. I definitely got what I was looking for with
this book, Autumn takes a different approach to solving the crime then you
usually see not just following clues around until she found something out but,
she used her awesome math skills and really interested me while doing it.
The other aspect that
I really enjoyed was Autumn's family, they were a huge and close Latino
family and you really felt that throughout the entire book, you felt for
everything that they were going through and I also understood how each person
fit into their family and how important Autumn's sister Celeste was to each one
of them.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book, it may sound
like it might be a bit of a depressing read but, it didn't read that way at
all, there was romance and family, tough issues with dealing with loss, and I
enjoyed every bit of it. I was really surprised with so many of the things that
happened in the book, as soon as I h ad guessed anything I ended up being
completely wrong and it definitely kept
me on the edge of my seat and into the mystery of it all. If you are looking
for a contemporary with a mix of mystery I definitely recommend this one!
