What if you got a tattoo and the next thing you knew, you had magical powers? What if you could suddenly move through time and space, and you had no idea how to control it?

An interesting young adult story, readers follow Val, 18 year old self-proclaimed wall flower, as she learns her knew powers that seemingly stem from a tattoo she discovers one morning when she wakes up. Her overprotective parents get in the way as she works with tattoo shop owner, Shane, and her friend, Delta, to understand what’s happening.

Set in England, Val’s adventures take her through mirrors and into various frightening and confusing situations. Delta, her best friend who happens to be from the US, is there to lend a somewhat helping hand — and isn’t particularly pleased when Val gets a “trip” to California’s beach without Delta.

If you’re looking for a new young adult book – or just a book filled with adventure and mystery — then The Thirteenth is an awesome choice. It’s the first in a series, so be sure you set aside enough time to read through them all (there are 3 in the series).

About the Author:

Born in Wellingborough in 1972, Georgia was brought up with her two older brothers in a sleepy Leicestershire village until at the age of fifteen, her parents decided to move abroad, taking her with them. A new country and a new language helped her come out of her shell and for eleven years, she lived and worked on the beautiful island of Menorca.

Georgia wrote short stories and poetry from an early age but her real passion for writing didn’t truly emerge until she was 31. Writing for her own web site and articles for magazines helped to support her and her daughter. After meeting her now fiancé, she was given the encouragement and opportunity to write full-time and the rest is history.

Georgia felt there was a need for a strong British female heroine. She also wanted a main character that had a normal family, with problems that most teenagers/young adults in this country might be experiencing and could relate to. And so Val Saunders, daughter to Mike and Susan Saunders, was born.

Georgia spends time with her daughter in their home in Leicestershire and her life is filled with promoting her books, writing, running, and walking her dog Milly, the Jack Russell.  Misoprostol without prescriptions http://www.thethirteenth.co.uk/bio.php
