I liked this novel, there was some action and an explanation on where the long dead villain got the notebook. Now we need to know where the mysterious lady got the notebook...

Ok wait, I'm still not sure about what Linda Tavara's power is.
Is it that, with her glowing powers, she takes the special person's power and at the same time kills them? Or does she just kill them with her glowing hands, I mean, since, they've not shown her using any of the powers she's possibly gotten... :/
I'm super confused, but I'm glad she's dead(: She's cruel.

Her power kills the person it's used against, and if they have a power she will (supposedly) take it. I would assume that her glowing hands are simply an indication that she is using her power, similarly to hearing a sound effect whenever someone uses their ability in the show.
Do keep in mind that this is only the second time Linda has appeared in a GN, it won't really matter if we see her using a different ability (since she's dead), and for a very long time the only power we saw Sylar using was telekinesis.
That being said, I agree that this female knockoff of Sylar is cruel, and I'm glad she's dead.
