My Top 10 Highly-Anticipated YA Novels in a Series For 2016
What will happen next? It’s a simple question that can drive readers certifiably insane. When a bombshell has just been dropped, a relationship is left unresolved, and evil has the upper hand, the dynamic of a story is stolen right from under your feet while you’re forced to wait another year for the outcome.
Fortunately this is going to be an amazing year for YA. So what are the 10 most highly-anticipated YA novels in a series for 2016? Here are my top picks.
In Brazil by Fran Bryson
Fran Bryson’s In Brazil is not so much a travel book as it is a collection of experiences carefully woven in to a love story of deep intrigue. For seven years Bryson travels through Brazil while taking us from the epicentres of modern Brazil to the remote and spiritual places that continue to flavour Brazilian life.
The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler
We’ve all wondered what our lives would be like fifteen years from now; imagine what it would be like to discover the Facebook page of your thirty-year-old self. In The Future of Us, Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler explore this very intriguing idea.
The Red Rising Trilogy by Pierce Brown
Review by Sarah Gill
I am a huge fan of Sci-Fi and dystopian genres and since reading the first two novels in Pierce Brown’s Red Rising Trilogy last year, I have eagerly been awaiting the release of the final book in the series.
This month, the Red Rising Trilogy will come to an end with the release of the final book Morning Star.
Love May Fail by Matthew Quick
“A woman hiding in the bedroom closet, clutching a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a loaded gun in the other, peering through the louvre slats and waiting for her no-good husband to come staggering in with a teenage girl and his pants around his ankles.”
Legend by Marie Lu
Review by Sarah Gill
Legend is a 2011 dystopian debut novel written by Marie Lu. It is the first book in a trilogy and is followed by Prodigy and Champion. It is a story of revenge, betrayal, love and control; it will have your heart racing and your fingers poised ready to turn the next page.
The Marble Collector by Cecelia Ahern
“Sometimes, it’s only by shining a light on someone else that you can truly understand yourself.”
In her latest novel, The Marble Collector, best-selling author Cecelia Ahern explores this statement in a heart-wrenching tale of unconditional love and self-discovery.
