When We Wake (When We Wake, #1)

City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1)
by
"I read this book years ago, but there has been a resurgence of appeal with the movie about to hit the big screen. The first of the "vampire" books to be produced, but very well done."

All This Could End
by
"I added this book, as it is a rarity in young adult fiction in that it is not dystopia. An easy read about a girl whose parents are bankrobbers, and her coming of age into the family career."

Starters (Starters, #1)
by
"I could not put this book down when I read it. The idea of young bodies being used by "Enders" is compelling. I am impatiently awaiting the sequel - "Enders""

Portraits of Celina
by
"This book is probably the beginning of the next trend of Young Adult fiction - ghosts. Well written, and almost believable. Bayley and her family's escape to the country is not to be the quiet life they were after!"
