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?

    REVIEW: Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

    1. Wicked Lovely
    2. Ink Exchange
    3. Fragile Eternity
    4. Radiant Shadows
    5. Darkest Mercy
     
    The Enchanting first novel in the best selling series, Wicked Lovely is a novel that captures you and takes you away with the fairies.

    Aislinn has always seen faeries. She has always lived by the three rules:

    RULE 3: Never stare at Invisible faeries.
    RULE 2: Never speak to Invisible faeries.
    RULE 1: Don't ever attract their attention.

    But these rules alter dramatically when a faerie pursues Aislinn. Disguised as human and oddly trying to become part of her life, can Aislinn keep her secrets, fall in love and make the right choices?

    I love this book. I am smitten, Wicked Lovely is definitely high up in my top 10.

    The way the Marr writes has the characters leaping off the page, playing out the scenes in front of your eyes. The characters are skilfully written, making them believable and life-like; their personalities similar to those of people you might know.
    The plot itself is filled with twists and turns that retain your attention to the last page and after, the wrting leaving you wanting more.
    I highly recommend Wicked Lovely for teenage girls aged 13-16.

    I Can't wait to read the next book, INK EXCHANGE
