Fracture by Megan Miranda (262 pages)

Delaney Maxwell is an all-around normal girl with a normal life, normal hair, normal body, and a normal brain; until she falls through the ice and plunges into an arctic environment. It took 11 minutes for her best friend, Decker, to pull her out. Being engulfed in freezing water, death is certain to occur in 10 minutes, so she should have been dead. Well, she was; her heart wasn’t beating, her skin was icy blue, and she wasn’t breathing. After a little while, she wakes up from a coma in the hospital and everybody says it’s a miracle. Maybe it is a miracle, but Delaney knew better. After seeing cat scans showing the brain damage she has, but not having any symptoms, strange things start happening. She begins to have a magnetic pull to anybody who will die within the next 24 hours. And then, against all odds she begins to be drawn to a strange boy, who has the same problem she has. This book is thrilling and adventurous with a twist of science-fiction and could make you question science itself.
