Love, Lattes, and Mutants

Romance Contemporary

The first in a series, LOVE, LATTES AND MUTANTS by Sandra Cox will sure be a hit with the young adults. If you love a little bit of romance, and some science fiction, then this is the book that you will enjoy as well. I am not a big reader of young adults books unless they have a great storyline that catches your attention and keeps it upon reading, which this novel has.

Sandra Cox is able to present the life of a teenage girl in her character, Piper, successfully with her insecurities and her emotions of feeling confused from what she feels she has to do and what she wants to do. What teenager could not relate to those feelings? Add some strong characters, even mutants and you have an interesting storyline.

Piper Dunn is a typical seventeen year old who wants to fit in but not stand out. She has a secret that even her closest friends must not know. Piper is a mutant with dolphin DNA with part of her characteristics being a blowhole. She likes the new dreamy boy in school, who in returns likes her, but she must keep her distance, without much success, so he does not find out what she is. Then as she tries to help a fellow dolphin friend, the very same people who are responsible for her mutant state capture her. She finds that she is not the only one of her kind and now has decisions to make at what her heart feels.

With such a great start with a debut of a new series, Sandra Cox has a storyline that can take many turns in any upcoming sequels to LOVE, LATTES AND MUTANTS. I cannot wait for the next installment to see what Piper has planned next. Along with the interesting characters the paranormal storyline is a fresh and new one that one cannot resist.

SUMMARY

Finding love is hard, even when you aren't a mutant. Like most seventeen-year-olds, Piper Dunn wants to blend in with the crowd. Having a blowhole is a definite handicap. A product of a lab-engineered mother with dolphin DNA, Piper spends her school days hiding her brilliant ocean-colored eyes and sea siren voice behind baggy clothing and ugly glasses. When Tyler, the new boy in school, zeroes in on her, ignoring every other girl vying for his attention, no one, including Piper, understands why... Then Piper is captured on one of her secret missions rescuing endangered sea creatures and ends up in the same test center where her mother was engineered. There she discovers she isn't the only one of her kind. Joel is someone she doesn't have to hide from, and she finds herself drawn to the dolph-boy who shares her secrets. Talking to him is almost as easy as escaping from the lab. Deciding which boy has captured her heart is another story...
