Human....not human....Human...not human

You think you have it rough? Try going from hunter to hunted every other day.  Try going from bulletproof to fragile every other day.  Try going from superhuman to high school student every other day.

I started this book (Every Other Day by Jennifer Barnes) being very skeptical. I didn't want to like it. I really didn't. But I ended up liking it. I really did. The opening pages made me roll my eyes in a "here we go again" kind of way, but the book took some major turns that I was quite interested by.  Every girl in high school knows a Bethany (and some are as deep as this one but never get a chance to show it).  And Skylar is just one of those characters that I want to scoop up and carry around in my pocket. I bought into the characters, which makes it much easier to buy the ridiculously fantastic storyline.  It fits with the current paranormal craze that is overwhelming the teen fiction sections at every library, but doe have its own story to tell.  I might read it again, which, given the number of unread books I always have sitting on my Kindle at any given moment, is high praise indeed.
