TOP 10 YA READS FOR ME FROM 2013

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

TOP 10 YOUNG ADULT READS I READ IN 2013

STUNG - Bethany Wiggins

Loved this YA dystopian.

Fast paced, exciting.

If I hadn’t fallen asleep at 2.00am I would have not put this book down. I was captivated from the first page. It is a non-stop ride.

REVIEW

Trust Me!!!

Try it and see if I am wrong.

MY LIFE AFTER NOW - Jessica Verdi

Powerful read.

This book was crazy good is so many ways. Such an important message is delivered wrapped up in this book. I personally think this book should be in ALL High Schools around the world as the message really hit home for me.

REVIEW

THE 5TH WAVE - Rick Yancey

Alien Invasion at its best.

Rick Yancey brings the freakin 'A' to Alien invasion. I could not put this book down. Rick will hold you captive with his brilliant, realistic use of several lead characters whose stories flow so well together.

This is a clever read.

I brought 6 stars to this read as it went beyond the call of 5 stars, for me.

REVIEW

ENDLESS KNIGHT - Kresley Cole

I got to say, this was a total ride, I was literally running from cannibals, bagmen, militia, other Arcana and..and..and...

Who could I trust?

Notice how I am using myself in that sentence. I was literally thrown into this book, sucked into a vortex to Kresley’s apocalyptic world. I was there with Evie.

Evie is badass in this book. She is on fire.

REVIEW

DEITY - Jennifer L. Armentrout

Gods!

This. Was. Brilliant.

Deity has everything.

This was a Gods and mayhem TOUCHDOWN!!

Aiden St.Delphi is one of the most beautiful book boyfriends in YA. I absolutely adored him in Half-Blood and Gods he is even more beautiful and protective and loyal and smexi in Deity. 

REVIEW

THE FIRST THIRD - Will Kostakis

What an emotion filled read!

I laughed out loud, I cried and I did that weird giggle/cry combo.

Will Kostakis did for me what, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, did for me.

I got pure enjoyment from his story and some lessons learnt along the way.

REVIEW

THROUGH THE ZOMBIE GLASS - Gena Showalter

I am giving you fair warning , clear your schedule because when you start this book, you won’t put it down, except for pee pee breaks. Get your drinks, your snacks lined up or summon your butler when you need sustenance. This feels like deja vu for me when I read Alice In Zombieland.

REVIEW

ORIGIN - Jennifer L. Armentrout

I am on a Lux high after reading this installment. From the very first page this book took off at the speed of Daemon in his natural form.

The story line glowed as bright as the Luxen in their alien form.

I didn’t want this book to end.

It was told from both Katy and Daemon’s pov’s and I LIKED IT! I loved being in Daemon’s head.

The pages turned.

The sub characters were brilliant.

The smexi scenes... well, let’s just say, Jennifer turned up the heat.

REVIEW 

INSURGENT - Veronica Roth

Insurgent was a rush. It was a non stop ride. Divergent # 1, had a lot of setting up and getting to know characters.

Insurgent just takes off.

Hold on to your book.

What I loved about this book was how well thought out the plot was by Veronica. She really shapes this book for Allegiant. This is not a middle book. This is a stand out book.

It was intense.

REVIEW

FLESH AND BONE - Jonathan Maberry

I can’t recommend this series enough to readers. It is YA genre , but Jonathan packs a punch in his story telling. He will have you laughing, cheering, scared for his characters and also heart broken.
