Welcome to the first official Forever Endeavor Online Book Club . . . Meeting?
*waves* Hi, All! Please stop laughing at my elementary school attempt at making a banner. (What can I say? Tech stuff isn't my strong suit.)
My goal with this club is to find books that I feel might appeal to the majority of us, since we have quite varied reading interests -- at least, according to my highly scientific poll. That being said, I was unable to find an adult novel written for teens, that was a literary fantasy historical romantic mystery thriller of women's fiction.
Since the overwhelming results of the voting showed a strong preference for both Young Adult books, and stories that fall under the Fantasy category, it shouldn't come as much surprise that our February selection is a YA Paranormal. And hopefully not something everyone has already read.
So without further ado, I give you . . .
Kaylee Cavanaugh doesn't see dead people, but she senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.
Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy at school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead, only Kaylee knows who'll be next.
There are a LOT of really good YA paranormals to choose from. The reason I chose this story is because it steps away from the more prevalent vampire/ werewolf / faery mythology and takes us into one of my personal favorite folklores. The Banshee. (or Bean Sidhe, for the Gaelic amongst us)
Confession: I love most thing Irish, so that helped mold my choice a wee bit too.
It's also the first book in a series. So for those who enjoy going on an extended journey with their fictional friends, there appears to be much more where this came from.
To help everyone out, if you need to order and don't have a local bookstore (indie or chain) nearby. . . here are some links.

For the paperback crew
**** How long do we have to read?? The discussion post for My Soul To Take will be posted on Friday, February 25th and will be open throughout that weekend ****
Hopefully, this is a selection that others are looking forward to reading as much as I am!

If it's not your cup of tea, that's cool. There'll be a different selection next month, no worries.
If you've already read it . . . Congrats! You get a freebie month to read whatever you want, but please come back to join in the discussion.
To everyone else: Let's Get Our Read On!!
