Both of Me by Jonathan Friesen
To escape darkness in her past, Clara is traveling the world, following her father's journal and avoiding attachments. Then she meets Elias. He is angry and lives in a world of his own making, drawing incessantly, muttering to himself, and accusing her of spying on him. When Elias accidentally takes Clara's bag, she finds herself drawn into his world. He has two personalities: the angry and distant Salem Elias and the gentle Elias Clara finds herself falling in love with.
This is certainly a unique concept. I'm looking forward to seeing the way this book plays out.

Tut: the Story of My Immortal Life by P.J. Hoover
Tutankhamen didn't die as a young man as we all believe. Instead, Osiris gifted him with immortality. He's been living as a 14 year-old ever since. Now he lives with Gilgamesh and Horus in a Washington DC apartment. Tut lives a pretty average life. But those days are over now that his evil Uncle Horemheb is after him with the full force of the cult of Set behind him.
This is likely to go over well with fans of Percy Jackson, The Kane Chronicles, and that ilk. While a little foreknowledge of Egyptian history and mythology would be helpful in understanding this book it isn't necessary. While it is not for everyone, there is a section of young readers who will enjoy this one.
