Books for Teens!
Searching for some great books for teens? Check out one of these great novels this weekend! It may get you out of tidying your room… (there is no guarantee, but surely it’s worth a try? Isn’t it?)
Infinity Son
The tag line had us hooked! “Who will live forever. And who will die trying?” Infinity Son by Adam Silvera could be the book for you.
Growing up in New York, brothers Emil and Brighton always idolized the Spell Walkers — a vigilante group sworn to rid the world of specters. While the Spell Walkers and other celestials are born with powers, specters take them, violently stealing the essence of endangered magical creatures. Brighton wishes he had a power so he could join the fray. Emil just wants the fighting to stop. The cycle of violence has taken a toll, making it harder for anyone with a power to live peacefully and openly. In this climate of fear, a gang of specters has been growing bolder by the day. Then, in a brawl after a protest, Emil manifests a power of his own — one that puts him right at the heart of the conflict and sets him up to be the heroic Spell Walker Brighton always wanted to be. Brotherhood, love, and loyalty will be put to the test, and no one will escape the fight unscathed.
The Belles
Apparently “Beauty can be deadly” and this book looks like a killer so why not try The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton.
I am a Belle. I control Beauty. In the opulent world of Orleans, the people are born grey and damned, and only a Belle’s powers can make them beautiful. Camellia Beauregard wants to be the favourite Belle – the one chosen by the Queen to live in the royal palace, to tend to the royal family and be recognized as the most talented Belle in the land.
City of Saints and Thieves
For those who want the trifecta – suspense, action and heart. City of Saints and Thieves by Natalie C Anderson should be your read this weekend.
Sixteen-year-old Tina and two friends leave Kenya and slip into the Congo, from where she and her mother fled years before, seeking revenge for her mother’s murder, but uncover startling secrets.
Keystone
Seriously when the blurb says influencer, betrayal, school for thieves and conspiracy you have to ask yourself “Why have I not already read this book?”. Give it a go – Keystone by Katie Delahanty.
When Ella Karman debuts on the Social Stock Exchange, she finds out life as a high-profile “Influencer” isn’t what she expected. Everyone around her is consumed by their rankings, in creating the smoke and mirrors that make them the envy of the world. But then Ella’s best friend betrays her, her rankings tank, and she loses – everything. Leaving her old life behind, she joins Keystone, a secret school for thieves, where students are being trained to steal everything analog and original because something – or someone – is changing history to suit their needs. Partnered with the annoyingly hot – and utterly impossible – Garrett Alexander, who has plenty of his own secrets, Ella is forced to return to the Influencer world, while unravelling a conspiracy that began decades ago. One wrong move and she could lose everything – again.
