Mindy Mejia

    Mindy Mejia píše, protože od dětství milovala hru na předstírání. Její tvorba se zaměřuje na hledání symetrie, tématu a symboliky, které v životě postrádá. Slova ji fascinují svou krásou a silou a Mejia věří v pravdivost svých smyšlených světů. Thrillery, které vymýšlí, jí často připadají skutečnější než její vlastní život.

      Novodobá Lolita je mrtvá. A ve městě jsou hned tři lidé, kteří měli dobrý důvod ji zabít. Hattie Hoffmanová se během svého krátkého života úspěšně zhostila mnoha rolí: byla hodnou dcerou, úspěšnou studentkou, dobrou kamarádkou. Ona sama však chtěla od života něco víc. Mnohem víc než bezbřehou nudu jednotvárných dnů. Něco vzrušujícího, klidně trochu nebezpečného. Nebo třeba idost nebezpečného... Když je během školního představení nalezena Hattiina mrtvola, malé město strne hrůzou. Hrůza se změní v úžas, jakmile vyjde najevo, že Hattie udržovala přes internet sexuální vztah, který byl daleko za hranicí toho, co je společnost ochotna tolerovat. Kdo ještě o tom vztahu věděl? Koho Hattie svým chováním rozběsnila natolik, že ji ubodal? Psychothriller Budu vším, čím mě chceš mít zaznamenává rok života podmanivě krásné dívky, která si se svým okolím zahrávala tak dlouho, až s ní komusi došla trpělivost. Vyšetřování vraždy vynáší na světlo temná, doposud úzkostně skrývaná tajemství některých obyvatel maloměsta; najednou přestává být zřejmé, kde přesně vede hranice mezi vinou a nevinou. Najednou jako by mnohé přestalo být tím, čím se dříve zdálo být...

    • In this brand new series from national bestseller Mindy Mejia, a physicist and a psychic reluctantly team up to solve two missing persons cases during an ice storm in Iowa. When her husband's car is found abandoned and on fire--in the middle of a rainstorm--Eve Roth becomes the police's number one suspect. After all, her husband was suspended from the University of Iowa for inappropriate conduct with a student, and who else but an atmospheric physicist could incinerate a car in a downpour? But Eve has no idea why her husband disappeared. She's desperate to find him, both for herself and her beloved, disabled father-in-law. Jonah Kendrick appears on their doorstep with a theory. He's seen Eve's husband, bound and bleeding in a barn. Claiming to be a psychic detective who dreams of the lost, Jonah has helped find missing people his entire life. He dreamed about a young woman trapped in the same barn months ago, and she's still missing. As a firm believer in the laws of nature, Eve rejects anything to do with psychics, but their investigations soon collide. As the temperature drops and Iowa turns to ice, Eve and Jonah race across the state to discover what happened to the people they've lost. But the truth is more deadly either of them expected, and the physicist and the psychic must learn to believe in each other if they want to escape this storm alive.
