Outcast: A Novel | Adrienne Kress
"With a crisp, engaging voice and sharp wit, Adrienne Kress is always a treat to read." Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author A refreshingly different take on angel mythology with a funny, gutsy, shotgun-toting heroine and a rivetingly sexy hero. Set in an eerie deep south town, OUTCAST is a spooky, spirited, compulsively readable storycharged with wit, wisdom, and bittersweet romance. Lesley Livingston, author of the internationally bestselling Wondrous Strange series They come out of the sky and take you. Everyone knows that. After six years of angels coming out of the sky and taking people from her town, 16-year-old Riley Carver has just about had it living with the constant fear. When one decides to terrorize her in her own backyard, its the final straw. She takes her mothers shotgun and shoots the thing. So its dead. Or not? In place of the creature she shot, is a guy. A really hot guy. A really hot alive and breathing guy. Oh, and hes totally naked. Not sure what to do, she drags his unconscious body to the tool shed and ties him up. After all, hes an angel and they have tricks. When he regains consciousness shes all set to interrogate him about why the angels come to her town, and how to get back her best friend (and almost boyfriend) Chris, who was taken the year before. But it turns out the naked guy in her shed is just as confused about everything as she is. He thinks its 1956. Set in the deep south, OUTCAST is a story of love, trust, and coming of age. Its also a story about the supernatural, a girl with a strange sense of humor whos got wicked aim, a greaser from the 50s, and an army of misfits coming together for one purpose: To kick some serious angel ass.
