And girl created boy…
In the beginning, there was an apple—
And
then there was a car crash, a horrible injury, and a hospital. But
before Evening Spiker’s head clears a strange boy named Solo is rushing
her to her mother’s research facility. There, under the best care
available, Eve is left alone to heal.
Just when Eve thinks she
will die—not from her injuries, but from boredom—her mother gives her a
special project: Create the perfect boy.
Using an amazingly
detailed simulation, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up. Eve
is creating Adam. And he will be just perfect... won’t he?
It should have
been a short suspended-animation sleep. But this time Rose wakes up to
find her past is long gone-- and her future full of peril.
Rosalinda
Fitzroy has been asleep for sixty-two years when she is woken by a
kiss. Locked away in the chemically induced slumber of a stasis tube in a
forgotten subbasement, sixteen-year-old Rose slept straight through the
Dark Times that killed millions and utterly changed the world she knew.
Now, her parents and her first love are long gone, and Rose-- hailed
upon her awakening as the long-lost heir to an interplanetary empire--
is thrust alone into a future in which she is viewed as either a freak
or a threat. Desperate to put the past behind her and adapt to her new
world, Rose finds herself drawn to the boy who kissed her awake, hoping
that he can help her to start fresh. But when a deadly danger
jeopardizes her fragile new existence, Rose must face the ghosts of her
past with open eyes-- or be left without any future at all.
Just because Mel lives
in New Whitby, a city founded by vampires, doesn't mean she knows any of
the blood-drinking undead personally. They stay in their part of town;
she says in hers. Until the day a vampire shows up at her high school.
Worse yet, her best friend, Cathy, seems to be falling in love with him.
It's up to Mel to save Cathy from a mistake she might regret for all
eternity!
On top of trying to help Cathy (whether she wants it or
not), Mel is investigating a mysterious disappearance for another
friend and discovering the attractions of a certain vampire wannabe.
Combine all this with a cranky vampire cop, a number of unlikely
romantic entanglements, and the occasional zombie, and soon Mel is
hip-deep in an adventure that is equal parts hilarious and touching.
Acclaimed
authors Justine Larbalestier and Sarah Rees Brennan team up to create a
witty and poignant story of cool vampires, warm friendships, and the
changes that test the bonds of love.
SHHHH!
Don't spread the word!
Three-day weekend. Party at White Rock House on Henry Island.
You do NOT want to miss it.
It
was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party
on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for
being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor)
and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled
luxury.
But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and
what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a
DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.
Suddenly
people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from
the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry
that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more
violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before
more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever
imagine?
Oh my goodness, Ten was soo good! :D
