"The Maze Runner" by James Dashner

Thomas is hit with amnesia, when he wakes up in an elevator that delivers him to the Glade. The Glade is home to about 60 teenage boys, a contained environment, cut off from the outside world. They've been there about 2 years, but none of them have any recollection of how they got there, and they can't seem to find a way out.

The Glade is attached to a giant maze, whose gates open every morning and close every night. The maze is home to the terrifying Grievers, giant balls of metal and flesh, ready to eat anything, including boys who enter the maze.

The maze seems like a viable exit, yet attempts to navigate the labyrinth prove unsuccessful. It's hard to chart a map when your terrain keeps changing shape!

Supplies are mysteriously delivered to the Glade, and the boys are determined to survive.

Wierd things start to happen, including a girl arriving to the Glade, with a note explaining that everything is about to change. How did they get there? Who's in charge of this reality? Will they be able to find a way home?

If you liked The Hunger Games, you will LOVE The Maze Runner!

Lia is forced into treatment by her parents, but it’s hard to recover when your best friend is telling you to self destruct.

"Ash" by Malinda Lo

The story of Cinderella has been retold hundreds of times, each with its own variation on the classic rags to riches story. My favorite version usually involves one of the step-sisters chopping off their toes to try to fit the magic slipper.

Ash has a fairly miserable existence. After her father's death, she is sent to live with her horrid stepmother and two spoiled brats for stepsisters. Forced to become a servant to them, her days are long and tiresome, and she dreams of escape.

But at least the house is nice. It's a grand estate set on the edge of the ancient Royal Woods. This is where Ash stumbles across the King's Huntress, Kaisa, and strikes up an unlikely friendship.

Ash spends most of her leisure time in the woods, and loves the tranquility and serene beauty. Some claim that a magical realm still persists in the depths of the woods. When she was little, Ash's mother read fairy tales to her, and some think her mother had a special connection to the fairy world

On one of her explorations, Ash meets Sidhean, her mystical fairy godfather. Sidhean provides Ash with enough magic to escape her stepfamily and attend the royal ball where the prince will choose his new bride.

Ash is torn between her friendship with Kaisa, her feelings towards the prince and finding her place in the universe, her reality or the fairy world.

A beautiful twist on a classic with a very surprising ending.
