Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, 352 pages
16 year old Kali is not your ordinary teenage girl ... every day. Every other day she's something entirely different. She isn't sure what possesses her to hunt out the things that go bump in the night, but she's been tracking/killing monsters since she hit puberty years before. She doesn't have friends and isn't close to anyone - her single-parent father included. That all changes one day when she meets a peculiar girl during school and saves the life of another student. What follows is a story that spans no more than four days but is so action packed you are sure it's months. The story moves fast enough to where you really don't form a connection to any of the characters, but is well told enough to keep you turning pages. The plot isn't exactly original but the premise is - totally vulnerable human one day, totally not the next.
