A paranormal Mission Impossible for teens, Jory's world and story are so meticulously parsed together they make you want to look twice at every face you see on the street." -- Aprilynne Pike, #1 NYT bestselling author of the Wings series A Thousand Faces is one of those rare books that can include heartbreaking and swoon-worthy romance and equally skillful action and suspense. It's a terrific novel. -Robison Wells, author of the Blackout series A THOUSAND FACES is the YA thriller I've been waiting for: a fantastic, troubled heroine, struggling with an incredible power she only barely controls, trapped in a web of supernatural espionage where she can't trust anyone.

A brilliant combination of romance, science fiction, and the supernatural. -Dan Wells, author of the Partials Series Contributor Bio:  Patterson, Janci Janci Patterson received her Master of Arts in creative writing from Brigham Young University.
