My Book Talk<\/b>: If that ouroboros on Bethany\u2019s back is not a tattoo, then the cheerleader will be dead today, just when Kali is merely human, instead of a supernatural hunter like she will be tomorrow. Flip-flopping capabilities every 24 hours is more than annoying now \u2013 it\u2019s liable to be deadly.<\/p>\n

Good thing that her supernatural phase includes rapid healing powers, as the werewolves and hellhounds who battle against her during extermination runs always seemed to slash and bite Kali viciously. And who wants to show up at high school the next morning looking like that?<\/p>\n

When Dad decided that she needed to go to public school for \u2018social interaction\u2019 Kali was sure it was just because his new boss at the university labs was sending his daughter there. Now, with a chupacabra stalking the cheerleading squad, maybe her presence at Heritage High can keep her classmates safe.<\/p>\n

Luring the spirit from Bethany\u2019s ouroboros into her own blood was the fastest way for Kali to save her life on this human-phase day. But now Kali has to survive many more hours with an aware parasite coursing through her veins and whispering in her brain before she turns supernatural hunter again.<\/p>\n

How will she get the parasite out of her body to kill it?
\nWhy does Bethany think that the cheerleaders were purposely injected with the parasite?
\nWhat\u2019s in the lab under Bethany\u2019s house?<\/p>\n

If the zombies don\u2019t get the teens, maybe Kali will get some answers \u2013 and live long enough to get into her hunter phase and strike back.\u00a0 (One of 6,000 books recommended on www.abookandahug.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n
