Nobody


Photobucket

Publisher's summary: There are people in this world who are Nobody. No one sees them. No one notices them. They live their lives under the radar, forgotten as soon as you turn away. That’s why they make the perfect assassins.

The Institute finds these people when they’re young and takes them away for training. But an untrained Nobody is a threat to their organization. And threats must be eliminated.

Sixteen-year-old Claire has been invisible her whole life, missed by the Institute’s monitoring. But now they’ve ID’ed her and send seventeen-year-old Nix to remove her.

Nix is a killer. Claire is his target. But from the moment he sets eyes on her, everything changes, because only the two of them can truly see each other – and two Nobodies are more than twice as dangerous as one.


Every Other Day


Photobucket

Publisher's summary: Sixteen-year-old Kali D'Angelo has always known she's different. Sure, she goes to high school and even attends pep rallies. But every other day, Kali becomes something else, hunting and killing demons, hellhounds and other supernatural creatures. On those days, she is indestructible.

When a supernatural creat leaves the mark of death on a popular cheerleader, Kali knows she is the only one who can save her. There is only one problem. Today, Kali is only human.

Blogger Best Friend Friday Feature! Kristina's World of Books

Photobucket



I haven’t done this feature in a really long time, so I think this month is the perfect time to feature Kristina of Kristina’s World of Books!

I first met Kristina in 2011 at the Smart Chicks Kick It tour in Seattle. There were a lot of really awesome authors at that tour stop, and there were a ton of other people at that event too. And, with us being big-time readers, Kristina and I had a lot of books to get signed. So instead of just standing in the never-ending long line, we sat on the sidelines waiting for an end in sight. While we waited, we started to chat and that’s when I first got to know Kristina!

In the pic Tiffany, Mindy, Jaime & Kristina at Smart Chicks Kick It!

Almost immediately after that Seattle trip, I started regularly talking with Kristina on Twitter and regularly stalking her blog. Before I knew it, it got to the point where I would call her a friend. And even though I already thought Kristina was awesome, by the time I actually realized how unbelievably sweet-hearted of a friend she is, out of the blue I received a package in the mail from her! She sent me a few books she thought I’d like, including a couple of signed copies of The Mortal Instruments! Isn’t that awesome? Then on several occasions she’s gotten books signed for me at a few of the many events she’s attended! And when John Green had some signed copies of The Fault in Our Stars floating around out there, and I was searching and searching for a copy (and she knew it), she got me a copy! That’s what I call a totally, AWESOMELY AMAZING Blogger Best Friend!

The reason I thought this month would be the perfect time to feature Kristina is because she’s expecting a little Kristina into her World of Books and The Bean is due this month! Check out her post Blogging Hiatus to learn all about it! And it would be totally awesome if you all would stop by Kristina’s blog or tweet her to congratulate her on this new chapter in her and her husband’s life! Congrats Kristina!

Shay could be the key to ending a war that humans don't know exist. Of a race of beings that aren't real, or are they?

Shay Tafford's childhood has been fatherless, filled instead with memories of speaking to the dead. She is forced to hide her unique ability from those living around her. That's why it's been comforting to have Jeremy, a child ghost, as her confidante. But recently he's been absent, perhaps lost as her father is. When Shay meets Hugh, the guy she's had a crush on for weeks, and finds he can speak to ghosts too she's just starting to find a normalcy in her life.

But as Hugh reveals the truth to Shay, about who she really is and about what it is she can do, he erases all chances she had at a normal existence. Turns out talking to ghosts is just scratching the surface of her genetically engineered gifts. Shay learns she may be part of an age old prophecy that could save the entire race of cryptids.
