Young Adult Paranormal
QUICK FIX—the second installment of the original urban
fantasy series by LINDA GRIMES. Ciel Halligan, an aura adaptor with a chameleon-like ability
to step into the lives of her clients and fix their problems
for them—as them—is working a job at the National Zoo with
her boyfriend, Billy, and his ten-year-old sister, Molly.
It's supposed to be a quick fix, giving her time to decide
if it's wise to pursue the romantic relationship her
charming scoundrel of a best friend wants, or if she should
give Mark, the CIA spook she's crushed on since hormones
first rattled her pubescent brain, a chance to step up to
the plate. Molly has already begun to show signs of being an adaptor
herself. She's young for it, but she's always been
precocious, so it's not impossible. What is impossible is
her taking on the form of the baby orangutan she
touches—adaptors can only project human auras. Until now,
apparently. Worse, Molly is stuck in ape form. She can't
change herself back. Escaping from the zoo with their new baby orang, Ciel and
Billy head for New York City and the only person they know
can help: Ciel's brother James, a non-adaptor scientist
who's determined to crack the aura adaptor genetic code. But
when Billy winds up in jail, accused of attempted murder,
Ciel begins to suspect Molly's unusual adapting ability is
more than just a fluke. Who's been experimenting on Molly,
and what do they hope to gain? And will Ciel survive to find
out? At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without
Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
