If you think that your life is less than typical, look at the case of Chloe Saunders before you draw any conclusions. For example, she sees the dead and experiences them on a very real level. And she has the power to raise corpses from the grave through necromancy. Chloe is a genetically-altered supernatural being with a life that is far from ordinary, and her friends are no more normal than she is—like her werewolf companion and his brother, the charming sorcerer. To complicate matters, having a supernatural life gives you great enemies, such as the evil corporation that is currently hunting Chloe and her atypical group. In short, Chloe's life is not normal.
Chloe and her dramatic adventure are the foundation for Kelley Armstrong's series entitled the Darkest Powers trilogy. Armstrong is a New York Times bestselling author also known for her immensely popular Women of the Otherworld series. Her work is thrilling and engaging, perfect for young readers in the middle age and adolescent groups.
If you enjoy stories that are captivating and out of the ordinary in their content, then you should find a copy of Armstrong's The Reckoning, but not before finding the first two installments of the series, The Summoning and The Awakening . Fans of gothic-style fiction and supernatural, fantasy-oriented works will also appreciate the Darkest Powers trilogy for its dark overtones and exciting, well-crafted plot.

Running Just to Stay Alive
Evernight Academy is a vampire boarding school that has just been ravaged by a terrible fire. Once the only refuge for Bianca and her lover Lucas, it is now no longer a haven from the harsh world that seeks to destroy every vampire. At the forefront of this movement to eliminate their kind is Black Cross, a fanatical and efficient group of hunters who despise vampires and will stop at nothing to win their fight against them. It is with this dangerous group that Bianca and Lucas must now seek sanctuary. And Bianca knows that if any member of Black Cross should discover the truth about her--her vampire heritage and increasingly vampiric tendencies--she and Lucas will be forced on the run again or destroyed before they have the chance. When the vampire Balthazar, who knows Bianca and her true identity, is captured by Black Cross, both Bianca and Lucas know that in order to survive, they must escape from their perilous situation before it is too late. Where will they go to stay safe from those who hunt them? Is their any place that could become a haven to this supernatural pair? Time is running out for Bianca and Lucas in Hourglass, the latest release from Claudia Gray.

What Happens When the Past Catches Up With You?
We all want to believe that the mistakes of our past will not follow us into our potentially improved future states. Brad Cutler is no different, and his future seems so bright that it would seem impossible that a wrong decision from nearly a decade in the past could possibly reach him at his height. In both professional and personal ways, Brad has everything for which one could hope: his career is soaring, he has praise coming from all sides, as well as a strong personal value system, and he is about to marry the woman of his dreams, the beautiful daughter of his ad company's manager. But lately, Brad has not been able to focus on any of this, because he knows that in order to go forward he has to find a means of redemption, a way of being forgiven for the worst mistake he ever made. It is a mistake that involves a woman he cared for very deeply—and a future that could have been. Will Brad find resolution before he loses his chance to win the world of his dreams?
Brad's engaging story is the basis for Shades of Blue, a new novel by Karen Kingsbury, dubbed the greatest American contemporary inspirational novelist. Her award-winning Christian-fiction has appealed to readers across the globe for years, and Shades of Blue is bound not to disappoint. The novel is clear in its delivery, well-written, and engaging from start to finish.
