The Masked Truth (2015)

By: Kelley Armstrong

Two teens are forced to attend a group therapy session in an abandoned warehouse, as a way to overcome their individual troubles. However, things start to go south when three masked assailants break into the facility and hold them hostage. The exits are sealed, there are no windows, their phones are gone, and their captors are on a killing spree. Will anyone escape?

This novel handles mental illness in a fascinating way. I won’t spoil the big reveal here, but the points of view in the novel were enlightening. Mixed with the elements of a slasher flick, this novel was truly entertaining. If you like that kind of thing, definitely check this book out.

Horde (2013)

By: Anne Aguire

So, the zombies have amassed into a… you guessed it: horde. Deuce’s town is surrounded, and it’s up to her and her merry band of fellows to defend what they all hold dear. However, there are twists you don’t see coming.

This was an incredible end to the trilogy. The end was perfect, not too saccharine, not to prickly. Honestly, I can’t praise these books enough. Go read them!

Outpost (2012)

By: Anne Aguire

This sequel was just as great as the first. This time, Deuce and Fade find themselves in a small town of sorts. However, they’re faced with the fact that in this society, neither are considered adults, and the majority of people are painfully sexist. Plus, the zombies are getting worse. They’re evolving in a way no one thought possible, and Deuce may just be able to force her way onto the male-only warrior squad.

As with the first book, I loved the writing, the world, the characters, everything. I highly recommend this book if you’re good with gore and violence.

The Keeper’s Tattoo (2010)

By: Gill Arbuthnott

A young woman discovers she has three lines of a sacred text tattooed on her scalp, and the Big Bad is after her to get it. Fearing for her life, the young woman flees her small town, discovering truths about her family along the way.

Honestly, I almost didn’t finish this book. The writing was so long-winded and yet stilted. There were too many things going on that didn’t pertain to the plot, and too many things that were convenient plot devices. That being said, I did enjoy the world. I thought the characters were pretty cool, too.
