Review originally published on The Book Smugglers
Just like Thea, I am in panic mode in this all-in attempt to read ALL THE BOOKS before 2011 closes so that I can come up with the most fair and informed Best of 2011 list as possible. Unlike Thea though, I have ZERO discipline and instead of catching up with the books that have come out early in the year and have been languishing in my TBR pile, I am reading books that are not going to be out till the end of the year.

If you are looking for a book with a kickass heroine and fabulous plot then Every Other Day is for you.
I was completely blown away by the superb writing, wonderful characters and a plot that would mess you up for good in a good way.
It was totally-out-of-this-world fantastic.
Ms. Jennifer Lynn Barnes, this book is astounding!
This book is definitely worth rereading twice, trice or even a hundred times.
It may sound exaggerated but hey I really liked it so sue me. :D

I had my expectations when I heard first read about Every Other Day in the back of the Trial by Fire ARC Egmont had sent me. In some ways I was disappointed, mostly because I've come to expect from Barnes's writing, but in others I was pleasantly surprised that she'd tackle this spectrum of the paranormal--preternatural--base. Kali was introduced as a different sort of being, not knowing any one else like her, she considered being alone and not caring was how she was going to spend the rest of h

Y'all may recall a little ol' TV show by the name of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And if you were an obsessive fangirl devoted watcher like me, you will probably remember that in season 3 episode 12 Buffy is temporarily stripped of her slayer powers and is therefore forced to fight the baddie of the week as a normal human girl.

At the very beginning of this book we meet Kali D'Angelo. She isn't doing something that normal teen girls do - she is fighting and killing hellhounds. In the world of Every Other Day, the supernatural is the norm. Zombies, dragons, hellhounds, life-sucking parasites; it's all just your every day occurrence. Every other day, Kali hunts them. It's a need that goes right down into the heart of who and what she More...

I took far, far too long to read this book. It was one of the first things I was approved for on Netgalley, and I downloaded it back in September along with four other books, excited to finally have my hands on these fabulous e-galleys. Unfortunately, I overestimated my ability to read for long stretches on the tiny screen of my iPod, and so while I'd gotten over halfway through this book when it expired, that wasn't enough. The end result was that yesterday, when I decided I felt like finish

Okay, this book was amazing. It had it's faults which I'll get to soon enough, but overall I loved it. It really was one of those books you had stay up all night with to find up what happens next. Kali was a real treat. Barnes created a three dimensional character with real problems and faults. The supporting cast was great as well, they defied archetypes. The plot itself was well thought out as well. The lone complaint I had about this book its the use of science. Personally, I loved how Barnes

Starting this book was like plunging into an icy lake. It was fast and furious. I actually briefly wondered if I was somehow reading the second book in a series because it started with not a whole lot of introduction. Once I got past that, however, the rest of the story fell into place with no problem.

On the days she is not normal.....she has no idea what she is other than she is powerful and filled with the urge to hunt and kill supernatural creatures.

When you first start this book you may be tempted to put it down. The writing seem juvenile, the characters trite. Boo hoo, super special girl and her emotionally distant father with no mother in sight. Where have you seen that before? You get a lot of why the girl, Kali, is special, without really thinking that she is special other than her super powers that, in a twist, only work every other day.

Well, really, do you think that Summary tells it all? Of course not. First of all, Kali isn't what she seems, even to herself. And, secondly neither are any of her friends or would-be friends...or her family...or theirs, for that matter. This is a book that calls for investigation, at the very least!

Barnes must be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. It's ok, there are a lot of us. But we're going to need to move past that comparison to really discuss this book, because let's face it, nothing is Buffy except Buffy. So just drop that expectation before you start, and no one will be disappointed.

I won't lie, when I first read about the idea behind this I was kind of like...really? It sounds kind of stupid on paper--a girl who is human only every other day. Literally not human. However its Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and as I enjoy her Raised by Wolves books so much I felt confident she wouldn't let me down. And for the most part she didn't.

Every Other Day, Kali is human, until dawn hits, then she turns into something OTHER — a hunter with enhanced senses and strengths. You see, the world in Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ Every Other Day is built on an intriguing premise. Instead of discovering giant turtles, Darwin discovers preternatural creatures. The stupid government decides to protect the monsters – zombies, hellhounds, and the like. This leaves Kali to act like a vigilante every other night.

What a fun paranormal romp this was! Paranormal has been a bit overdone recently, although, to be honest, I still love it (when it's done creatively). Barnes has taken the paranormal craze and given it an alternative history twist, which I think is pretty fantastic. In this world, Darwin discovered a hydra when he went sailing on the Beagle, which let the paranormal cat out of the proverbial bag. All of this is humorously similar to the beginning of the divergence in Leviathan.

In just two weeks, the second book in Barnes’ extremely interesting and fun YA series that began with Raised By Wolves will hit the market. This is a series that concentrates on a world where hellhounds are actually normal and people are striving to get them placed on the endangered species list. Creatures such as zombies, vamps, and everything you thought was mythological, are actually quite real and live side-by-side with the humans.

I read a lot of YA paranormal books, and lately, I've been feeling some fatigue for the genre. I guess I've read one too many books with weak heroines, love at first sight romances, and lame plots. But every once in a while, I find a book that reminds why I actually like this genre. Every Other Day is definitely one of those books.
