[fiction] FingerPrints Vol. 7: Payback

By: Melinda Metz

"Yana was my best friend--and Yana wanted me dead.

I should hate her for what she tried to do. But the people who stole what she loved most--they did the same to me.

Yana still wants revenge, and she doesn't want my help. Can I really let her walk into a trap?"

This was satisfying enough for "a last book" but the ending wasn't that powerful you know? No matter what, I've always managaed to imagine it as Rae rescuing Yana from the fire and then saying "Together". A little more right? Atleast, they have a little foreshadowing about what will happen next. Now I can check out fanfics XD.

I think I got the library's new copy. :). I feel good about that.

This book focuses on misunderstandings around Yana. How Yana feels and all that. Seeing how the importance of her mission and the importance (and stupidity) of Jesse/Rae/Anthony/Mandy's mission is, I'd say putting her on the cover was a good idea. It's a little make up game you know? We'll call 'em the "hero group". Mandy of the hero group has a sister who wants to elope with this loser guy before she finishes highschool and drops her scholarship which she worked her ass off for. So they gotta go and stop that wedding. Yana however got the knowledge through her head that the people who killed her mom were in fact the group agency her mom used to go to. But the hero group actually doens't know that and get paranoid searching for Yana when they discover she escapes. The story here is pretty dramatic, especially when it comes to the part where Sam and Yana have to escape from the burning center building.

It's nice. But the ending was too safe XD. Ah what can I say. The drama kinda made up for it.
My favourite part would have to be all the Mandy and Jesse parts. Rae and Anthony are happy so whatever but Jesse and Mandy, now that's cute. I always think Jesse is taller than Anthony XD. But not anymore lmao. I also loved how Rae brought Sam back to life. There's also a slight character development, which I like.

I remember there was a volume (4 or 5) where Jesse was talking to Rae's boobs and saying "You look amazing." That was funneh lmao :9.

Anyways, this is the last you'll be seeing of "FingerPrints" First series I've finished reading for a long time. (remember Guardians of Gahoole or whatever? haha I read to the final book but after the newcomer came buy I just forgot about it haha).

Great series :). I loved it. Next, I think I'll focus on those Young Adult books. I've gota celebrate. I'm happy with how it ended.

Mark: 10/10

The End :).
