I will be giving you a sneak peak of a book, by telling you the first line(s). Hopefully some of these books will interest you and inspire you to pick them up/buy them!
All links for the books will be at the end of the post:)
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
"Grace Somerfield was the first to die.
The first in my fourth grade class, at least. I'm sure that by then, thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of kids had already up and gone the same way she had. People were slow to piece it all together - or at least, they had figured out the right way to keep us in the dark long after kids started dying."
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
"Welcome to the beautiful Sinclair family.
No one is a criminal. No one is an addict. No one is a failure. The Sinclairs are athletic, tall and handsome. We are old money Democrats. Our smiles are wide, our chins square and our tennis serves aggressive."
Unremembered by Jessica Brody
"The water is cold and ruthless, lapping against my cheek.
Slapping me awake. Filling my mouth with the taste of salty solitude.
I cough violently and open my eyes, taking in the world around me. Seeing it for the first time. It's not a world I recognise. I gaze upon miles and miles of dark blue ocean, peppered with large floating objects. Metal, like the one I'm lying on.
And then there are the bodies."
Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done by Sarah Mlynowski
"I bolted awake. A police siren.
The police were outside my house. Ready to arrest me for underage partying, excessive flirting and an overcrowded hot tub.
But wait.
Brain turned on. No, not the cops. Just my phone - my dad's ringtone.
Which was even worse."
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
"There will be no awakening.
The sleeping woman will feel nothing the next morning, only a vague sense of unease and the unshakeable feeling that someone is watching her. Her anxiety will fade in less than a day and will soon be forgotten.
She will not awaken. Neither will her husband beside her. The shadow falling over them will not disturb their sleep. And what the shadow has come for - the baby within the sleeping woman - will feel nothing. It is over in less than a minute. The shadow withdraws.
Now it is only the man, the woman, the baby inside her, and the intruder inside the baby, sleeping."
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
"Daddy said, "Let mom go first."
Mom wanted me to go first. I think it was because she was afraid that after they were contained and frozen, I'd walk away, return to life rather than consign myself to that cold, clear box.
But Daddy insisted."
