Violet
Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret
ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her
best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to
sense dead bodies—or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a
little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world...
and the imprints that attach to their killers.
Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.
Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer—and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.

Violet...sensing the dead
I absolutely love this book, it was pretty awesome.
When I was reading The Body Finder, I was like that's kind of creepy finding
dead people, but that's why the book was good because in the book when Violet
is struggling with her power and the tension between her best friend since childhood (Jay Heaton).
I liked how the book kept you going, you
don't even want to put the book down even for a minute and I liked how the book had a
lot of ups and downs in Violets life, cause in reality everyone has ups and
downs.
There was some chapters, that were creepy because those chapters were the point of view of the serial killer, so that was weird reading a part of the serial killer point of view.
When I was Reading The Body Finder, I kept thinking that Violet was going to become a victim and the serial killer was going to find her and then violet hero comes and saves the day (*SPOILER*) and YES, Violet hero comes and saves the day.
