Synopsis

WHEN NEWLY ORPHANED JAX AUBREY awakes to a world without people the day after his thirteenth
birthday, he thinks it’s the apocalypse. But then the next day is a regular old Thursday. Has Jax gone crazy? What’s
going on?

Riley Pendare, Jax’s sort of clueless eighteen-year-old guardian, breaks the news: Jax just experienced the Eighth
Day, an extra twenty-four-hour period between Wednesday and Thursday. Some people, like Jax and Riley, have the
ability to live in all eight days. But others, like Evangeline, the teenage girl who’s been hiding in the house next door
for years, exist only on this special day.

At first it’s awesome to have a secret day. But as Jax gets to know the very guarded Evangeline, he discovers that
she is the sought-after key to an ancient spell rooted in Arthurian legend. And Riley—who forgets to pay bills and
buy groceries!—is sworn to keep her safe from those who want to use her to eliminate the seven-day world and all
who live there.

Jax tries to protect Evangeline, but with his new friend’s life on the line, as well as the threat of human destruction,
he is faced with an impossible choice: trigger a real apocalypse or sacrifice Evangeline.

WITH A WHOLE EXTRA DAY TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, IT COULDN’T BE TOO
HARD . . . RIGHT?

[Not Five Stars Because of the Ending] A few things I have to say; 1. I NEED MORE! It feels so unfinished! Another book or series about these characters PLEASE!! 2. Jax you idiot. 3. Don't fall from thin air with a knife wound in your back right in front of the girl you secretly like. Listen to me, it's......more
