Romance, ladies or men for that matter, has arrived. When strong, protective, superhuman and plainly gorgeous Gale (sounds good already right) falls for Emma, who thinks she’s human, a forbidden romance unfolds and this time it isn’t because the boring human might be murdered, bitten by her vampire lover (thank god), no this is much more serious. Generations of people are relying on them not being together. If you’re ready (which you should be) to fall in love, cry and then fall in love some more then this book is perfect for you!
Suited for people aged, anything, okay fine, 10+
9/10

Switched is a magical, superb book. It features magic (obviously), magical creatures and trolls (which due to this book are coming into fashion, watch out vampires!). Switch will captivate you and ensure its pages keep turning. It’s a mystical novel of romance and lies. The main character, an awkward, strange female teenager (no, not all teenagers are like that), with a dark past, becomes an acquaintance of a mysterious, young adult who has a habit of appearing in her bedroom at night. Soon she’s off with him, traveling to find the truth of her past. Hurry up and read this book before everyone else does, because Switched has true awesomeness and is going to be big!
For ages 10+

If you love a book with drama, action, comedy and suspense. A book that makes you think and ponder then this is the book for you. I was so engrossed that I stayed up many nights just thinking about some possible futures. The main two characters are kind, daring, interesting and very believable. This book points out some of the problems with today’s society and how it could change. 10 Futures is a book with just that, 10 possible futures in which two consistent characters remain. So how would you go if artificial intelligence ruled our lives, there was extreme rationing due to overpopulation or a massive plague that wipes out most of humanity? Read up to find out 10 Futures will leave you speechless!

This book is phenomenal; I was gobsmacked with not only the brilliance of the series but also how action-packed, thrilling and emotional this book in particular was. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, for real this time. The use of spies, humour, action, emotion, boy-drama (vital) and mind-blowingness blends together into the young adult girl fiction of the year (well so far). So if you are thinking (or even not thinking) about reading this book, well screw your head on, rush out to the store/library and have a mental fit until you have this book in your hands, because it really book changing. But make sure you have tissues right next to you and are NOT in a extremely public place, cause you will be crying, laughing, smiling, crying hysterically again and then really tired the next day, when you haven’t had any sleep from reading this book. Recommended for people (girls mainly) 8-100000000000 years old. 9.5/10

Divergent is a BRILLIANT book. It’s up there with CHERUB and The Hunger Games. It is the best book of the year and its sequel will be anxiously awaited. Divergent is full of suspense and surprises, is action-packed and I will read it multiple times in the future. It is about choices and what defines you as a person. So do yourself a MAJOR favour and read DIVERGENT!!! Hooray!

The Paradise Trap is an exciting book full of twists and turns; you never know what’s going to happen next. It’s a light read and doesn’t have much depth. If your looking for a fun, stimulating ride this is the book for you! This book teaches the reader that a true paradise world is one where not everything is perfect and makes you question whether you are strong enough to escape a fake paradise. So will you escape or fall for the paradise trap?
