THE ARRIVALS / Melissa Marr / 278 Pages

Kitty, Jack, and their companions, all from different time periods in human history, work together to defend and assist the denizens of the Wasteland. But only Kitty has the magical talent needed to defeat (or communicate) with the monsters of their alternate world.

Now another human has been drawn into their world and Chloe will need help to survive. Especially as she is bound to draw the attention of Ajani, a wealthy but evil human, who tries to recruit every new Arrival to come and work for him.

The characters and situations are adult but the story reads more like a Teen / Young Adult novel. It is fast-paced, with plenty of action, some humor, and a quick resolution.
