" The stats: Luminous is Dawn Metcalf&amp;#039;s first novel, and is set to hit bookstores on June 30! The gist: After an episode of vertigo in a mall, Consuela finds herself able to remove her skin and cloak herself in elemental skins crafted from water, fire, and air. She falls into the Flow, a world where she is surrounded by other teens with extraordinary abilities (which they use to save people from dying before their time, in the real world). She soon finds, however, that the Flow is not as peaceful as it first seems when someone\u2014or something\u2014starts killing off her newfound friends. Our favorite part: Every time you think you have the story figured out, a new secret about the Flow and how Consuela fits into it all is revealed. The last hundred pages are especially intense, so set aside time to finish it all at once, because you won&amp;#039;t be able to stop reading! Plus, we love how even with all the guys swooning over her, Consuela stays a strong, independent girl who doesn&amp;#039;t need a man to protect her from danger! You&amp;#039;ll love it if... You were all about Twilight, but now you&amp;#039;re so over the whole vampire/werewolf thing. Luminous still has tons of romance and fantasy, but with a totally original plot that is nothing like you&amp;#039;ve ever read before! After you&amp;#039;ve read it, leave a comment below!
