A Diamond in My Heart

By Lorena Angell

Book Overview

Who can Calli trust, or who wants her dead and has everything in place to make that happen?

"Engaging characters (including a memorable young hero) fuel this paranormal thriller." -Kirkus Reviews

A Diamond in My Heart, book two in The Unaltered series, follows teenage Calli Courtnae as she learns how to control her new cosmic superpowers. She's afraid she's no match for some of the other people showing up with different paranormal powers, including a time-rewinding teen who has some romantic fantasy about her going on in his head. She faces more challenges with him as he attempts to save the day. Maetha, her paranormal guide, assigns Calli to investigate the young man and teach him what a real superhero looks like. Before that can happen, she'll have to determine what his power is, which takes her into an action-packed adventure.

All the while, someone is systematically kidnapping the clan leaders who wear the near-magical diamond amulets. Calli feels overwhelmed with trying to figure everything out and keep balance in the world. All her powers-the ability to read minds, view the future, heal people, and locate other Sanguine Diamond Bearers-should be a good thing. They turn sour, however, when she learns of traitors who've sided with the U.S. government, threatening her new world and the lives of those she loves. Despite all her superpowers, she feels alone and up against insurmountable odds. She begins to question the loyalty and friendship of others, and she is faced with an unforeseeable event-the reuniting of the diamond shards.
