April showers bring May...books :) (Part 3)

Immortal City by Scott Speer
Jackson Godspeed is the hottest young Angel in a city filled with them. He's days away from becoming a full Guardian, and people around the world are already competing for the chance to be watched over by him. Everyone's obsessed with the Angels and the lucky people they protect - everyone except for Madison Montgomery. Maddy's the one girl in Angel City who doesn't breathlessly follow the Angels on TV and gossip blogs. When she meets Jackson, she doesn't recognize him. But Jackson is instantly captivated by her, and against all odds the two fall in love. Maddy is swiftly caught up in Jackson's scene, a world of glamour, paparazzi - and murder. A serial killer is on the loose, leaving dead Angels' wings for the police to find on the Walk of Fame. Even the Guardians are powerless to protect themselves in the face of this threat ... and this time it's up to Maddy to save Jackson.

 Last Echo by Kimberly Derting
Violet, a high school junior, discovers the body of a teen killed by "the girlfriend collector" and is determined to solve the case, but the serial killer is on the lookout for a new "relationship" and Violet may have caught his eye.

 The Project by Brian Falkner

The Power of a Praying Teen by Stormie Omartian
Along with Scripture verses and true stories of teens in action, The Power of a Praying Teen addresses key issues young people face, including purity, peer pressure, insecurity, body/self image, and friendships. Each segment of the book concludes with a prayer teens can follow or use as a model for their own prayers. Easy to access chapters focus on what it means to be maturing in all areas of life, including talking to God in prayer. Young men and women just on the cusp of growing up will find the compassion, help, direction, strength, and stability that comes with knowing and hearing from God in The Power of a Praying Teen.
