Currently reading The Ripple Trilogy - I picked it up on a whim because it was so cheap. They call it a trilogy, but honestly - each book is so short that all three in their entirety equals out to a single book imo.
It's about a girl with a genetic mutation that allows her to turn invisible; she meets a guy with the same genetic mutation, and then they discover that this nazi scientist from WW II did experiments on people like them, and is still experimenting and trying to eliminate anyone with the mutation that isn't under his control. I'm only about halfway through, so that's as far as I've gotten :)
It's not bad, but it annoys me that half the narrative is about the protagonist's crush on the guy, and how sad she is because she thinks he only wants to be friends. The story part is really well done and intriguing, but the romance angle is bullshit, awkward, and poorly executed. It feels so forced, like the author thought she had to include romance for whatever reason - because that's the way things are done? I dunno. It's stupid, and it's really taking away from my enjoyment of the book otherwise.
