Hello Stranger
Author: Katherine Center
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250283795
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
The glorious novel from the beloved author whose bright, hopelessly romantic New York Times bestsellers have been called “My perfect 10 of a book” (Emily Henry) and cheered for their “speedy pacing and sexual tension for miles” (People). Love may be blind. But what if . . . what you see isn't what you get? It’s all starting to come together for struggling artist Sadie Montgomery. She was just named a finalist in the national portrait competition of her dreams. But when she winds up with a rare, but real, condition where human faces look like jumbled puzzle pieces . . . it is, to say the least, not good. With only a few weeks to paint the best portrait of her entire life, Sadie will do anything to reverse her condition and get back to work, but it’s anyone’s guess when (or even if) that'll happen. Enter her dog’s charming veterinarian (who may or may not be Sadie’s daydream fiancé), and her bowling-jacket-wearing, Vespa-riding neighbor (who she can’t seem to stay away from)—both vying for her attention and adding to the chaos. It’s a lot, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Because the truth is, seeing the world differently has its upsides. And love has an undeniable way of giving us courage. And the best way of looking is always, always with the heart. "With its emphasis on its central character, combined with its “swoony” romance, “Hello Stranger” is a hit. Sadie is everything you could want in a protagonist — the right amount of quirky, sunshiney and stubborn, and the men she’s in love with are equally fascinating. All the side characters provide humor and comfort, and even those characters who you aren’t really supposed to like are annoyingly intriguing and captivating. Center created a brilliant cast of characters, set to a plot that’s sure to keep you reading." --Michigan Daily

The Trilogy: The Guardian, Vendetta, and Revelation (3 in 1)
Author: Katie Klein
Publisher: Katie Klein Books
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
It’s against the rules for a Guardian to fall in love with their mortal charge, but it’s too late for Seth, the supernatural playboy assigned to look after Genesis Green. Because the night Genesis crawls from the wreckage of her boyfriend’s totaled SUV, just before she slips into the darkness, Seth calls out to her, promising everything will be okay. It’s this mysterious voice that pulls Genesis back from the brink, and when Seth finally steps into her world, Genesis is just as drawn to him as he is to her. When she begins having strange visions—something she attributes to the head trauma she suffered from the accident—the Guardian Council, an otherworldly force of good, reaches out, asking for her help. The goal? To minimize or undo the damage the Diabols are inflicting upon her seaside town. But with her visions growing increasingly unreliable and her behavior more reckless by the day, Seth is finding it harder and harder to keep her safe, especially from herself, and losing her would be the end of him. What happens when the line between reality and the celestial becomes so blurred it’s impossible to determine who’s real and who’s otherworldly, and worse: who's good and who's evil? With her life and soul on the line, Genesis will suffer the greatest sacrifices imaginable to put an end to the evil threatening her world—and it isn’t the evil she was anticipating. Fans of the Twilight and Hush, Hush sagas will revel in this epic urban fantasy trilogy detailing a battle that has raged for millennia in a series that has been called “intense, action-packed, and romantic in every way possible.” The Trilogy: The Guardian, Vendetta, and Revelation is a 3-book collection (over 165k words/650 pages). Bonus Material includes an Interview with Katie Klein, and "In the Beginning," a re-telling of Carter and Genesis's car accident from Seth's point of view. Download 3 Books in 1 Today!
