Just when I thought she couldn't get any more fabulous, Libba Bray tops herself! "The Diviners" is a fantastic, jazzy read that perfectly embodies the mood of the 1920's: fun-loving, devil-may-care recklessness, with a frantic and heartbroken undercurrent. The characters are all larger-than-life, the mystery is appropriately evil and spine-chilling, and I am simply dying for the next in the series! Libba Bray's new novel is the cat's pajamas!

Khoury's debut is part of the fantastic "Penguin 5" and it is definitely worthy of the list! "Origin" is romantic, heart-breaking, and thought-provoking, and teens (especially "Lost" fans) will love it!

Are you a Dungeons-and-Dragons-playing, fantasy-loving nerd? Then this book is for you! Are you the opposite of all those things? Then this book is also for you! Vizzini's tale of a scrawny unlikely hero who must save an alternate universe whose fate decides our own, is hilarious, adventurous, and fast-paced. Teen guys and girls won't be able to put this down, I certainly couldn't (but I'm not a teen, don't tell)!

I loved "All These Things I've Done", so I was thrilled with the second installment in the "Birthright" trilogy! Anya really comes into her own in this book, accepting her family's history and embracing her dangerous inheritance. Teens and adults should check out this addictive series!

The hotly-anticipated sequel to "Ashes" is worth the wait! Just as thrillingly gory and action-packed as its predecessor, "Shadows" had me on the edge of my seat! Now I just need the last book for closure...
