I have a list on my white board! I will inevitably forget something, of course. You know me. I didn't think of my DS, though, should I bring it? We could have a Mario Kart 2 person party.

Also, that dancing Gaga is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

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.
