Counting Stars (Josie and the Sentinels, #5) / Josie and the Sentinels (ePub)

Ten are called

One is chosen

Until then, she's only counting stars

It's Josie Braveman's 18th birthday but it's far from being a party. This is the first day of an archaic tradition that will offer her up to her prospective husband. As much as it turns her stomach, this ritual must be completed to keep her family honor. This places Josie in a difficult position. She knows who she wants to marry… in a few years. But her father isn't sure that this man should be given the opportunity.

Crow's Shadow knows the men he would like to see on Josie's list of ten for her ritual - all men who are worthy of Josie's hand. Not a single one will have the Sabri surname. Not after how Josie was treated by Manzar Sabri's fourth son.

Yasin Sabri's past few months have not covered him in glory. He may have been under the influence of magic but the pain that he caused is going to be lasting. It may even prevent him from his happily ever after. He never meant to hurt Josie when he followed his manipulated heart.

With only one year to date the ten men on the list before her father will ask her opinion, Josie has a lot of soul searching to do. It would be an easy task if she didn't have school and if the secret underworld of the sentinels would leave her alone. But university and the shadows keep interrupting.

Counting Stars is the fifth book in the Josie and the Sentinels Series. Josie has grown up and it's time for her to choose her life. Music superstar, tribal leader, corporate citizen, or sentinel.
