Every Other Day

Day one of vacation. Book one down. Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes was a great way to start it. This is the story of Kali, typical teenage girl one day, superhuman hunter the next. She switches every twenty-four hours. When she is in superhuman form, she hunts supernatural creatures, like hellhounds, dragons, basilisks etc. She is immortal for those 24 hours. Her wounds heal, she can come back from the dead and she has superhuman strength and speed. What she doesn't know is what she is or how she got that way. When she decides to save a popular girl from the chupacabra that has taken her over, she starts a wild ride to figure things out. Along the way she makes a friend or two. She kills a monster or two. And she may even find her long, lost mother. Oh and there is the voice in her head that is somehow helping to keep her alive, and it's name is Zev. I'm sure you've figured out by now, that Zev is mysterious and dashing and somewhat vampire-like. I couldn't put this book down- obviously. It was interesting and different and not your typical supernatural story. There were no damsels in distress and not everyone miraculously survives. The girl may not ride off into the sunset with her prince- or vampire as the case may be. This is poised to be a series that I will happily read. She really left the end open for a fun sequel. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good supernatural tale. Happy reading my friends and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
