For those of you that don't know, Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where book bloggers devote a post to an upcoming book release they are particularly looking forward to reading.
THIS WEEK'S PICK:
EVERY OTHER DAY BY JENNIFER LYNN BARNES
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.

I have read Jennifer Lynn Barnes' Raised by Wolves and Trial By Fire and absolutely loved both books. She is an absolutely fantastic writer and I just can't wait to see what she has come up with in Every Other Day. Plus the premise for the book sounds really interesting.
Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes will be published December 27th, 2011 by EgmontUSA.
I have never read anything by Jennifer but I have heard such great things about her books and they are definitely on my TBR list. Great pick!
