That's right, it's time for ...
About ONE (by Leigh Ann Kopans)
[Release date: June 11, 2013]
"When having two powers makes you a
Super and having none makes you a Normal, having only one makes you a
sad half-superpowered freak.
It makes you a One.
Sixteen-year-old Merrin Grey would love to be able to fly – too bad all she can do is hover.
If she could just land an internship at the Biotech Hub, she might finally figure out how to fix herself. She busts her butt in AP Chem and salivates over the Hub’s research on the manifestation of superpowers, all in hopes of boosting her chances.
Then she meets Elias VanDyne, another One, and all her carefully crafted plans fly out the window. Literally. When the two of them touch, their Ones combine to make them fly, and when they’re not soaring over the Nebraska cornfields, they’re busy falling for each other.
Merrin's mad chemistry skills land her a spot on the Hub's internship short list, but as she gets closer to the life she always wanted, she discovers that the Hub’s purpose is more sinister than it has always seemed. Now it’s up to her to decide if it's more important to fly solo, or to save everything - and everyone - she loves."

You guys, I am so excited for this book. I've been lucky enough to be part of the street team for ONE, which means that I got an ARC, which lamentably sat neglected on my computer for far too long*. But when I finally read it, I was blown away.
I love this book. I love Merrin, the clever, angry, unsure-where-she-fits-in-the-world protagonist. I love Elias (mmm, Elias) her equally clever and utterly adorable boyfriend. I love the conflict between Merrin's need for independence and her growing attachment to said wonderful boyfriend. I love that.
And so it is with great delight that I present the seventh installment in a super-cool comic adaptation of the first chapters of ONE. Drumroll ...

Thanks for stopping by! Come back in a few days when I post the final installment, and don't forget to pick up ONE once it comes out! (Now, back to the WIP. This book may possibly be melting my brain.)
* My ARC was unfortunate enough to arrive at roughly the same time that depression ate my life. And also my homework. But that's neither here nor there.
