Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from:
Ghostgirl
Mercy #1
by J B Salsbury
Genre: YA Romance
From page in the paperback.
The blank look on her face proves it …. she can’t see me.
But I see her perfectly.
I just started this and already loving it. I heard such good things about this and it’s been some time since I read a YA romance.

Synopsis
She was brainwashed into believing she could save mankind.
Now, she’s the one who needs saving.
Abandoned with his two younger brothers, Milo Vega was placed in foster care. Now a twenty-year-old high-school senior covered in gang tattoos and working as the school’s janitor, he is living a life vastly different from the one he was destined for.
When another foster joins the family, this one from the psychiatric facility, Milo’s skeptical. A rare genetic condition makes her unlike any girl he’s ever seen, and he wants nothing to do with the one he calls Ghostgirl.
Despite his reluctance, his protective instincts flare when she enrolls in school, and eventually, an unlikely friendship grows between them. When a tragic event snaps her fragile psyche, Milo is faced with the possibility of never seeing her again.
Unless he risks it all to save her.

You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
That cover is remarkably beautiful. Looks like a great book.
It sure is. I just read the first few chapters and it’s pulled me right in.
Sounds like a really good story. Enjoy!!
I’m excited to get my hands on it. Heard lots of good things about the story.
Fascinating excerpt…and I love the cover! Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
The complete scene had a little bit of a creepy vibe also. Couldn’t share without spoiling it.
Sounds thrilling!!! Happy weekend!
I’m hoping it is! Thanks, Freda:)
This does sound good. It is a new one for me. Mine is from The Point by John Dixon – a science fiction thriller from my review stack. Happy reading!
I wn this and was so excited. Been a while since I read this category.
Enjoy your current read!
Thanks, Breana:)
Happy Friday!
Ooh, how interesting!
Hallie @ Book by Book
Indeed!
I usually have a hard time not rolling my eyes for YA romances. Glad this one is good. My Friday Quotes
Me too but I read a sample and it sounded promising. So far, so good:)
Love the title and cover, but reading the blurb, I almost feel cheated. I don’t think it’s what I was envisioning, but I look forward to your review so I can see if I am wrong.

You were expecting creepy, eh. LOL
I usually don’t read YA, but this looks good.

I was able to read some more last night and enjoying it still:)
I already want to know more. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I read one by her and enjoyed it. I hadn’t seen this one yet.
