Sorry.

The next Masked review will be up this week. You will soon understand why it's taken me so long to touch this one.

Oops! My bad. It's coming, it's coming. I've been working extra hard on the book-in-progress so that's been eating up a lot of my time. As if time were cookies.

Those are my favorite cookies!

I'm glad you're actually working on your novel. Maybe you'll let me read some again soon.

I was thinking about starting a blog chronicling my progress in my thesis. Would that be acceptable to you or is that stepping on your toes?

Step on my toes? I'd rather you mambo on my toes. Go for it!

About the Book

There are people with abilities they shouldn't have. Abilities that should not be possible. A man who can transform into a tiger, apple core eyes, and orange, black stripes, burning. A woman with metal fingers instead of flesh, scalpel-like. They are called Caps.

Kallie is a Cap. She's stronger than anyone she's ever known, and she aches to be the hero she could be. When the man who maimed her years ago is broken out of his padded cell, she knows he will find her again. She can regenerate, but John Doe plucked the fingers from her hand and swallowed each one. He took too much. She can already feel the phantom crawl of his tongue, and she will kill him before he tastes her for the last time.

Danny's the reason John Doe is free, and he did it because his boyfriend, Marcus, told him to. He does whatever Marcus tells him to because Marcus can see the future as well as he can the present, and right now his apple core eyes are fixed on the source of their abilities. Convinced the answer's in their blood, Marcus pegs John Doe as just the Cap to section and study. His abilities will keep his blood flowing long after his veins should have dried.

During the break out, Marcus is severely wounded, John Doe escapes, and Danny finds himself shouldering a plan he doesn't even understand. He still trusts Marcus, though, if nothing else, and knows of someone they could bleed instead. Someone Danny's only fought once before. She could regenerate like John Doe. He downs another vodka shot and tries to remember her name. And then it comes to him:

Kallie.
