Young Adult


Young adult books are not like they used to be. Back when I was a teenager (I make it sound like it was EONS ago)  found that young adult writers wrote like they were writing for idiots! So, I stopped reading young adult and read books by V.C. Andrews (her older stuff) and Dean Koontz.

I admit, what got me back on the young adult band wagon was Twilight, but since then, I have found other books that have definitely beat Twilight to a pulp!

Synopsis:

I Am Not a Serial Killer is the story of John Cleaver, a 15-year-old sociopath who works in a mortuary, dreams about death, and thinks he might be turning into a serial killer. He sets strict rules to keep himself “good” and “normal,” but when a real monster shows up in his town he has to let his dark side out in order to stop it–but without his rules to keep him in check, he might be more dangerous than the monster he’s trying to kill.

This book was AMAZING!! Crazy creepy, and did not see the twist coming what-so-ever!

Synopsis:

This has now become a series and I love it! It's a post-apocalyptic world with zombies!

Synopsis:
Twenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.
Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

If you have not read this book YET, do yourself a favor and pick it up. You'll be glad you did. This book has to be on my Top Ten Books of All Time.
