Another book that I’m looking forward to reading is The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong. I was really drawn to this cover when I saw it on the upcoming releases list. Also, Harper Collins has been publishing a lot of great young adult books recently, and I feel that this is no exception. I’m going to pick this up as soon as I can and start reading it. So many books, so little time!

Synopsis: Strange things are happening in Maya’s tiny Vancouver Island town. First, her friend Serena, the captain of the swim team, drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. Then, one year later, mountain lions are spotted rather frequently around Maya’s home—and her reactions to them are somewhat . . . unexpected. Her best friend, Daniel, has also been experiencing unexplainable premonitions about certain people and situations.

It doesn’t help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret, and he’s interested in one special part of Maya’s anatomy—her paw-print birthmark.
