Okay, so maybe last week’s realistic drama titles aren’t your thing. Maybe you wanted to hear more about Paranormal Romance. You’re not alone: most of the titles nominated for the Teens’ Top Ten this year have paranormal characters. If you didn’t see anything you wanted on the other blog post, perhaps you’ll find a title here.
Hex Hall and Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins
It’s unusual for two books from the same series to be nominated to the list in the same year, but it’s happened for the first two books of the new Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins. The series follows sixteen-year-old witch Sophie after she is sent to a reform school for delinquent witches and faeries, or Prodigium, when a botched spell at her normal school attracts too much attention from her human classmates. As the series unfolds, Sophie learns more about her mysterious powers, her family’s dark secrets, and her supernatural classmates. A third book is scheduled for release in March of 2012.
Red Moon Rising by Peter Moore
In a world where vampires are the social elite and wulves are second class citizens treated like criminals, half-vamp Danny likes to pretend his other half is human. Unfortunately, it’s not true: his father is a wulf. As Danny grows older, it’s getting harder to hide his half-wulf heritage. If anyone finds out, he’ll be forced to live as an inmate at a government compound during each full moon, but living as an unregistered wulf is illegal: if he’s caught, his punishment will be even more severe.
Blessed by Cynthia Leitich Smith
In this exciting sequel to Tantalize and Eternal, Quincie would like to run her restaurant in peace, but dying and becoming a vampire kind of messes up your schedule. As Quincie tries to clear her werewolf boyfriend of murder charges and stop an evil vampire overlord from ending the world, her newly hired waiter turns out to be an angel with plans of his own. Quincie’s soul is at stake… no pun intended.
That’s all for this year’s Teens’ Top Ten nominees! Voting closes this week on Friday, September 16th. The winners will be announced during Teen Read Week in October. Remember, all of these titles and more are available at the Andover Public Library.
