The most badass girl of all time started out as a total mess...
A missing girl. Triplets who aren't related. A diabolical geneticist who says he can give me the world, all I have to do is give up my body. High school has never been so insane! The good news is, I'm dying for a change. Then again, others are dying to, or so it seems...
The only people who truly love high school are torture artists.
Glimpse into my world. The things you see may scare you. The life I live is a bit backwards, perhaps a touch caustic to normal people like you. Not to be a snarky twat, but with unlimited wealth comes undue privilege, the kind of privilege that breeds hot guys and bitchy girls in droves. Unfortunately this is also the kind of life that can turn an ordinary girl into something else completely, something not quite human.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:
Q:Why should readers try this series?
A: This bold new series starts out looking at the life of a regular(ish) teen girl who's bullied at the hands of her mother, the paparazzi and her fellow students. But what happens over this nine book series is this unfortunate girl becomes the most badass girl in all of history. Most readers will appreciate this series because there is literally nothing like it out there right now, which makes the Swann series feel fresh and a bit addictive.
Q:What kind of series is this?
A:Swann and Monarch (books one and two) are both human stories steeped in high school angst, bullies, difficult parents and the twisted effects of human genetic modification. The third book, Clone, kicks this world wide open, unleashing a rapidly evolving world of urban fantasy. By the ninth and final book in this series, urban fantasy will have become dark fantasy, but by then you'll be so hooked that nothing else will matter (the author says with a Cheshire cat-like grin).
Q: What kind of readers will enjoy these books?
A: I find fans of Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent will appreciate this series. Although this is not a rehashed version of any of the series listed above, Swann is for readers who love a strong, snarky heroine with real internal struggles who constantly wrestles with adversity while facing off with some of the most unusual villains in YA fiction today.
Q:Are there adult themes in this series?
A: Yes. To stay authentic to the YA world, and to most of today's teens, there is some strong language, violence and adult situations. I personally feel this series should be enjoyed by ages 15 and above. Also, if you're triggered by bullying, this might not be the series for you.
