Determined to find him, Daphne travels from her home in Pandemonium to the vast streets of Earth, where everything is colder and more terrifying. With the help of the human boy she believes was the last person to see her brother alive, Daphne glimpses into his dreams, discovering clues to Obie’s whereabouts.

Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Hardcover, 329 pages

Published December 27th 2011 by EgmontUSA

Every other day, Kali D'Angelo is a normal sixteen-year-old girl. She goes to public high school. She attends pep rallies. She's human.
And then every day in between . . .She's something else entirely.
Though she still looks like herself, every twenty-four hours predatory instincts take over and Kali becomes a feared demon-hunter with the undeniable urge to hunt, trap, and kill zombies, hellhounds, and other supernatural creatures. Kali has no idea why she is the way she is, but she gives in to instinct anyway. Even though the government considers it environmental terrorism.
When Kali notices a mark on the lower back of a popular girl at school, she knows instantly that the girl is marked for death by one of these creatures. Kali has twenty-four hours to save her and, unfortunately, she'll have to do it as a human. With the help of a few new friends, Kali takes a risk that her human body might not survive. . .and learns the secrets of her mysterious condition in the process.
I'm getting in the bad habit of judging a book by its cover. Most of the books that come out these days are really pretty, and I'm worried that I won't read some amazing book just because it looks weird. That's definitely my goal next week, to check out more eclectic books. :)

Library Monday (1)

March 19, 2012

As a dirt poor teenager, I can't afford to buy books whenever I want. I wish I could, but I can't.

However there are perks to living next to a nice library, and I plan to take advantage of it as much as humanly possible. It's big and has four stories full of books. Granted, about 1/5 of the books there are in Chinese, but I'm not complaining.

Every Monday it's become a tradition of mine to go to the library and get my books for the week. Even though I get picked up there, I think the librarians are tired of my checking stuff out everyday so I'm trying to keep my visits to a minimum. 

Anywho, I figured that I'll keep doing to "In the Mailbox" segments, but my Library Mondays seem a lot more fun and frequent. 
Not only with they include books that I check out, but any audiobooks, and albums as well.

So, here it goes! :)

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans. Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld... this time forever.
She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.
Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen.
As Nikki's time grows short and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she's forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's...

Published September 28th 2010 by Listening Library (Audio)


Hell on earth.
That’s what it’s like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel.
It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts—immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.
At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows to her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she suspects that Daniel hasn’t told her everything. He’s hiding something—something dangerous.
What if Daniel’s version of the past isn’t actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?

The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series . . . where love never dies.
