The Host by Stephenie Meyer
The Host

This book is fantastic, top-of-the-line literature. I just finished reading it yesterday, and although it is a pretty thick book and I had been reading it non-stop since I started, the last page came all too quickly for me. I wanted the story of Wanderer, Melanie, and all the people they meet on their journey to continue. Yet, at the same time, the ending fits the rhythm the author sets and keeps in the book. The plot is engrossing and the unique characters will become, like Edward and Bella, forever close to the reader's heart. Keep rockin', Stephanie Meyers.

The Subtle Knife: His Dark Materials, Book 2 (His Dark Materials #02) by Philip Pullman

i read this book first, even though it is the second in the His Dark Materials series. After i read it I was left with the insatiable need to read the rest. It is startlingly discriptive and addictive, and pulled me in from page one. I definately reccomend this book to any teen to adult readers interested in a sharp new twist on fantasy and dreamlands. Your bedside lamp will be working overtime with this one, trust me. :)
