Manifest by Artist Arthur

Arthur, Artist Manifest (Mystyx 1), 256 p. Kimani Press (Harlequin), $9.99.  978-03738-31968.  Language – PG13 (30 swears, O “F”); Mature Content – PG13 (lewdly mentions pictures of naked teens who have been drugged).  Krystal isn’t sure how she could be less happy; her mother has remarried a man whom Krystal despises and they have moved away from everything she knows.  To make matters worse, she thinks she may be going crazy, because she can see a dead, though handsome, boy in her bedroom.  Unfortunately, dead boy also has a very beautiful dead girlfriend.  Some kids at school know that Krystal has special powers and they insist that she work with them.  When Krystal realizes that someone is taking provocative pictures of girls, just before they kill them, and she may be the next target, she knows she must snap out of her funk and get to work.  Older teens who like special powers, ghosts and a really dramatic mystery will dive into this series.  I hope that the other kids with powers get a book to highlight them, because they came off as superfluous in this installment.  HS – ADVISABLE.  Cindy, Library Teacher.
