Chime

Franny Billingsley

Briony lives in the Swampsea - a place known for its links to the old world.  Briony has a secret - she can see the Old Ones and spirits - Briony is a witch.  She knows that exposing this secret will mean her death.  Yet when a young man comes into her life she discovers that more than just her own secret will be exposed - secrets she never even knew.  This book is a bit slow but it grabs you and won't let go.

Divergent

by Veronica Roth

Divergence is dangerous.  Deathly dangerous...but 16-year old Beatrice (aka Tris) does not know why. In a future world where people are divided into factions based on their values and personalities, friends are made and trouble brews.  I enjoyed this book (mainly for the insights into society it presented) and while the writing was not particularly descriptive, it drew me in and kept me reading.  It has something for everyone - action and characters, suspense and mystery.
