Across the Universe by Beth Revis

A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder. Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.
Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone-one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship-tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.
Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.
As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss Anna—and readers—have long awaited?

Dash & Lily's book of Dares Rachel Cohn & David Leviathian

“I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”

So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Halo by Alexandra Adornetto

Best selling author Alexandra Adornetto brings us another  treasure in her new novel, Halo.


Ivy, Gabriel and Bethany, three angels who are sent down from heaven to balance the forces of good and evil in the tranquil town of Venus Cove don't expect much to happen on their arrival. But are they wrong, love blossoms, secrets are shared and malignant spirits stir. But can this trio of heavenly messengers save the residents of Venus Cove, as well as themselves?


As soon as I turned the first page of Halo, I was sucked in.  Bewitching, engaging and delightful, Halo is definitely a novel to read.
16-Year-Old Angel Bethany is a baby compared to her peers, inexperienced and naive, Bethany struggles with human emotions and day-to-day situations that most of us think of as normal as breathing.

Adornetto's writing convinces you that you are in the novel itself, creating a true-to-life world that makes it possible to envision the  characters and plot in your mind with ease.

"Halo enchanted me from the very first page." Claudia Gray, #1 best-selling author of Evernight series.

One of my favourite novels, I would recommend Halo to any girl aged 13 - 18.
