As Red As Blood

As Red As Blood by Salla Simukka, 256 pages

Lumikki is named after Snow White but is nothing like the fairy tale character either in looks or temperament.  She is living away from home, in her own apartment, while she finishes high school.  Lumikki has perfected the art of blending in.  She is like everyone and no one.  Until the day she discovers thousands of euros drying in the darkroom at school.  She is too curious to completely ignore the situation and when she figures out who put them there and they also find out that she knows she becomes involved in what could be a very dangerous plan, one that could get her killed.  This was a really good story but it was also a little odd.  Teens who like thrillers will probably still like it, but I wouldn’t necessarily give it to a reluctant reader.
