Pang on Speed Clearing Books, Miss You!! | 168 comments Did you read Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy, #1) by Wendy Higgins ? It's not a Tearjerker one, but it is Heart-Breaking!

Ahhh... This book! Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare I haven't read it yet! But I heard this book broke many people's heart! I will read it soon.

I heard this series is Heart-Breaking, too.
The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1) by Julie Kagawa The Iron Daughter (The Iron Fey, #2) by Julie Kagawa The Iron Queen (The Iron Fey, #3) by Julie Kagawa The Iron Knight (Iron Fey, #4) by Julie Kagawa

For Fey novel, I just used to read this series. I cry almost every Keenan and Donia scene. They are Bitter Tortured couple!

message 7: by Jaime (new)

Jaime Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

You should read Twenty Boy Summer if you haven't already!!!!!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

I don't really know if you can consider it a romance novel but it was amazing and so sad :'( Definitely a tearjerker!

I've had Sweet Evil on my Amazon Wish list for awhile, but it never made it over to my TBR shelf here. Rectifying that now.

I wasn't much on Melissa Marr's Fae series as much because it hit one of my triggers - though I do love the trio potential there. I haven't been back since Ink Exchange/Stopping Time.

My favorite in the Fae world is the Glimmerglass (Faeriewalker, #1) by Jenna Black series.

Have you ever read Fracture (Fracture, #1) by Megan Miranda ? No insta-love there, and a really compelling, well done story.


message 14: by Ana K. (new)

Ana K. | 2 comments Have you read "The Fault In Our Stars", by John Green? Beautiful plot, lovely writing, and a genuine romance. I should warn you it is a bit sad though, but very realistic.

It is a very scary ghost book, and it also has some romance and high school drama (:

Well I just read Lula Bell on Geekdom, Freakdom & the Challenges of Bad Hair by C.C. Payne and loved it sooo much. Not a YA since she is only 10, but the book is so funny and very well written.


message 34: by Beckles_max (new)

Beckles_max | 2 comments So I'm looking for a book that is a mystery but it has a strong male lead., such as the "Homelanders" series by Andrew Klavan and "I Hunt Killers" by Barry Lyga. I also tend to gravitate towards dystopian books, such as the Gone novels. Any suggestions?


message 35: by Katrin (new)

Katrin Does anyone know any good Roadtrip books?

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 72 comments Above, Trisha recommended the "Chaos Walking" series. I wholeheartedly agree.

Loved it; something completely different :D

Did you know there's a fourth book Trisha: The New World (Chaos Walking, #0.5) by Patrick Ness

Yes, it was really good!!!! I loved it! Told from Viola's POV before she landed.


message 48: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 72 comments It was just mentioned to me that a good prequel could come from my own book Alloria (Labyrinth of labyrinths, #1) by David Staniforth . I have to admit to never having read one, but I was tempted to give "the new world a go".

Just wondered what people think of prequels in general.

Kathy | 48 comments Among the Hidden Among the Hidden (Shadow Children, #1) by Margaret Peterson Haddix and the rest of the series if you like it! LOVED these! They are in the kid's genre, but I would still recommend reading it!
