SEQUEL TO THE AMAZON TEEN BEST SELLER RIPPLER

Sixteen-year-old Samantha Ruiz has a lot on her mind. The crush who kissed her but changed his mind. The BFF who thinks Sam is in an abusive relationship. The Nazi-geneticist who wanted Sam dead but now wants her ALIVE. All this, and she's still dealing with a tendency to disappear into thin air. When Sam learns of her nemesis Helmann's Nazi-like plan to re-establish a Thousand-Year Reign, she's determined to fight him. Along with Will and Mickie, Sam flees to France to meet Sir Walter--their best hope for stopping Helmann's brave new world. Unfortunately, Sam isn't any safer in France. Someone invisible is following her, and now Sam must figure out how to hide from an enemy she can't even see.

From the Back Cover

My eyes followed the curve of space between us, a pathway of places where we didn't touch, where our bodies might intersect but didn't.. . . I ached for how his hand would feel pressed into my hand. For his lips melting with mine. For wishing his head resting upon my shoulder meant something more . . .

About the Author

Hey Book Lovers! My name is Cidney and I'm a full time writer of young adult science fiction and fantasy novels. (That is, when I can persuade my cat to move off the keyboard.) I'm easily distracted by shiny things such as new book covers, direct sunlight, and Mars set against an inky night sky. My year so far has included learning to milk goats, baking thirteen pies for friends who wanted Wedding Pie instead of cake, and trying to tan my pasty-white Oregon skin. (That last isn't going too well.) If you'd like to visit, I hang out at cidneyswanson.com where I natter on about this and that assuming I haven't been distracted by something shiny.

5.0 out of 5 stars sooooo good! March 3, 2012

Usually I'm disappointed by the second and third books in a series. The first book creates the world, involves me in character's lives, and I end up buying the rest of the trilogy (or series) based on the strengths of the first book.... but am not as impressed by the subsequent books. Chameleon was different!
I got the book this morning- was able to find some free time this afternoon to finish it- and I can't wait to read the third book in this trilogy!
The suspense was increased without making it too over the top, there are quirkier characters introduced while keeping the ones you love, the drama is more intense while still remaining believable, and the descriptions still draw beautiful mental pictures (both of locations and- my favorite- what glass/stone/wood "taste" like when you ripple).
Also, big props for not rehashing the entire plot of the first book within the first chapter of the second book (a la Rowling). I was able to dive right back into the world created in book one with hardly a ripple (sorry,couldn't help it!), but without all the extra work of skipping over boring retelling of a book I just finished last night!

I couldn't put this book down! If you liked Rippler you will LOVE Chameleon. The plot thickens and the pace quickens. I can't wait for book three!

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome... couldn't put it down!! March 6, 2012

i read the first two books in two days... i just could not put them down... unfortunately i finished the second book at 11pm which is the only reason why i didn't buy the third book right away. i knew that i wouldn't get to sleep at all if i started reading it.
i love the tempo of the story, it never gets boring but still it does not seem rushed.
i am already sad when i think aboub that the next book is also the last... i would love more to read about sam and will and everybody else in the book!!
