TOP PICK! Every Other Day - Jennifer Lynn Barnes December 27, 2011 – EgmontUSA Young Adult 5 Hoots Summary: 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. (Goodreads) Review: Imagine a world similar to our own - except that two hundred years ago, when Charles Darwin voyaged to the Galapagos Islands, instead of simply finding evidence of evolution, he found evidence of the existence of demons. Now, two centuries later, college students learn about the triple helixes found in the DNA of these preternatural beings. Hellhounds are considered an endangered species. Kali D'Angelo, who finds herself as a non-human demon hunter one day and a simple human girl the next, is breaking the law by hunting these creatures. What a whirlwind of an amazing novel! I could not put this down for even a second! Barnes's writing is eloquent, imaginative and hilarious. The heartfelt emotion of the characters is so real it's tangible. Barnes manages to execute one unforeseeable plot twist after another without ever seeming overdone or obvious. My only hope is that Barnes will turn this into a new series. *Fingers crossed!* I will definitely be checking out her previous novels, as I am now a huge fan of Jennifer Lynn Barnes!                                                                                                                                                                               Reviewed by Cindy
