“Mike, I need your help.” When Mike receives a call from Betty Vallant--the vain, selfish woman who once acted the part of his mother--he knows it’s a trap. However, Angel sees an opportunity to double-cross their enemies. Soon the genetically-enhanced teens find themselves enmeshed in a scheme to steal a jewelled key from Zinnia and Dahlia, heirs to Iris Cartwright’s legacy.

So. Awkward. Devon and Gabe reluctantly agree to provide alibis for their clones, Mike and Angel. Devon is apprehensive, but betraying her new-found romantic feelings for Gabe is the least of her troubles. Their Caribbean ‘vacation’ turns disastrous when they’re forced to bail into the ocean near a mysterious island.

Top Four New (to me) Series of 2015

1/ Gini Koch’s Katherine “Kitty” Katt series. (SF) I read book one Touched by an Alien in February. I immediately needed book two. I caught up with the latest book in the 11-books-and-counting series by June and am looking forward to book 12, Alien in Chief, coming out in December.

 

2/ Brent Week’s Lightbringer series. (epic fantasy) Book one: The Black Prism. Even more amazing than his Night Angel trilogy. Love the light-and-color-based magic. Love the characters. High action and man, oh man, some of the plot twists! Am dying to find out what happens next. I’m lobbying to convince my husband and son to start reading the series so I can justify buying book four in hardcover when it comes out.

3/ Diana Pharaoh Francis’s Diamond City series. (urban fantasy) Book one: Trace of Magic. Every bit as good as the author’s Horngate Witches series. Cool magic, lots of action and peril and some steamy romance scenes, too. Two books out so far.

4/ Carol Berg's Sanctuary Duet. (fantasy) Book one: Dust and Light. I'm super excited for the release of book two Ash and Silver to come out in December. I love Carol Berg’s world-building, and she's very good at putting her characters in tough places.
