Friday Finds- April 9, 2010

Here are my finds for the week:

Firelight- Sophie Jordan

With her rare ability to breathe fire, Jacinda is special even among the draki—the descendants of dragons who can shift between human and dragon forms. But when Jacinda’s rebelliousness leads her family to flee into the human world, she struggles to adapt, even as her draki spirit fades. The one thing that revives it is Will, whose family hunts her kind. Jacinda can’t resist getting closer to him, even though she knows she’s risking not only her life but the draki’s most closely guarded secret.  (From Goodreads)

Albatross- Josie Bloss

What’s so cool about nice guys?

Everyone at Tess’s new school warns her that Micah is bad news—a heartbreaker. But she can’t ignore her attraction to this brooding, brilliant, friendless emo hottie who can turn on the charm—or heart-shredding scorn—at a moment’s notice.

Starting over in a new town after her parents’ split isn’t easy for Tess, and Micah feels like her first real connection. But what happens when their bond suddenly feels like shackles? And Micah starts to remind Tess of her freakishly controlling father? (From Josie Bloss's website)
