Birthday Presence

At three in the morning at the US Space Agency Headquarters, Paul Raggone’s digital watch beeped to let him know it was no longer 2:59 am. He took off his horn-rimmed glasses and rubbed his eyes with a sigh. He thought he would be used to these late hours by now, but he still had...

Current YA seems to be full of girls who can't remember who they are. Or perhaps if they can remember who they are, they don't remember the past five years, or five weeks, or five hours. Usually, someone is trying to kill them, and the clue to who and why lies in the lost memories.

Not His Kiss to Take by Finn Marlowe

This book is most definitely different. I can't claim to have read a book anything like it ever before.

After a young man is brutally attacked, a non-practicing doctor takes him home and nurses him back to health.
