1. City of Bones – Cassandra Clare

When fifteen-year-old
Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she
hardly expects to witness a murder — much less a murder committed by
three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre
weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the
police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there
is nothing — not even a smear of blood — to show that a boy has died.
Or was he a boy?

This is Clary’s first meeting with the
Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s
also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little
like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary
is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother
disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would
demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And
how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to
know. . . .

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly
gripping, Cassandra Clare’s ferociously entertaining fantasy takes
readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

2. A Million Suns – Beth Revis

Godspeed was once fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.

It’s
been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is
over. Everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed.

But
there may be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He’s
finally free to act on his vision—no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder learns shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed.
They must work together to unlock a mystery that was set in motion
hundreds of years earlier. Their success—or failure—will determine the
fate of the 2,298 passengers aboard Godspeed. But with each
step, the journey becomes more perilous, the ship more chaotic, and the
love between them more impossible to fight.


3. Bloodrose – Andrea Cremer

Calla has always welcomed war.

But
now that the final battle is upon her, there’s more at stake than
fighting. There’s saving Ren, even if it incurs Shay’s wrath. There’s
keeping Ansel safe, even if he’s been branded a traitor. There’s
proving herself as the pack’s alpha, facing unnamable horrors, and
ridding the world of the Keepers’ magic once and for all. And then
there’s deciding what to do when the war ends. If Calla makes it out
alive, that is.

 6. Black Heart – Holly Black

In a world where Magic is illegal.

Cassel
Sharpe has the most deadly ability of all. With one touch, he can
transform any object – including a person – into something else
entirely. And that makes him a wanted man. The Feds are willing to
forgive all his past crimes if he’ll only leave his con artist family
behind and go straight. But why does going straight feel so crooked?

For
one thing, it means being on the opposite side of the law from Lila,
the girl he loves. She’s the daughter of a mob boss and getting ready to
join the family business herself. Though Cassel is pretty sure she can
never love him back, he can’t stop obsessing over her. Which would be
bad enough, even if her father wasn’t keeping Cassel’s mother prisoner
in a posh apartment and threatening not to let her leave until she
returns the priceless diamond she scammed off him years ago. Too bad she
can’t remember where she put it.

The Feds say they need Cassel
to get rid of a powerful man who is spinning dangerously out of control.
But if they want Cassel to use his unique talent to hurt people, what
separates the good guys from the bad ones? Or is everyone just out to
con him?

Time is running out, and all Cassel’s magic and
cleverness might not be enough to save him. With no easy answers and no
one he can trust, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.

need an army. Zara isn’t sure what her role is anymore. She’s not just
fighting for her friends; she’s also a pixie queen. And to align her

battles yet. Especially since she can’t even reconcile her growing
feelings for her pixie king . . .
