• Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

  If I had never read the Hunger Games trilogy or the Lunar Chronicles or the Mortal Instruments, or watched the Divergent movies or The 100 television series, I would most certainly have been blown out of the water by this dystopian YA novel.

• Winter by Marissa Meyer

  Typically, when I have to wait for a long while between books in a series, I lose interest and drop it.

• Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

  Love how she kept Cinder’s story going while focussing on a whole new set of characters. Red Riding Hood is bad ass. Kendra wrote a review for this one, too.

• Cinder by Marissa Meyer

  I LOVE FAIRY TALES. I LOVE DYSTOPIAN WORLDS. And I’m pretty pumped that this version of Cinderella delves deeper than evil sisters and Prince Charming. (So does my friend Kendra, and she actually writes hilarious reviews.)

• Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

  I know that the ending makes the most sense for the trilogy. I know that! Geez. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

  Brilliant, really. A thrilling and desperate melange of The Lord of the Flies, Gladiator, and Survivor. Couldn’t put it down.
