The Scorpio Races  by Maggie Stiefvater

Each November the men of Thisby surrender to the power of the island's flesh-eating water horses in a vicious race that is certain to leave few standing. In an attempt to save her family's home, Puck Connolly goes against all odds and enters this year's race. Will Puck make it to the finish line or will the legendary Sean Kendrick reign in his 5th consecutive win? 

This fast-paced novel will have you biting your nails until the very end. If the premise of flesh-eating horses does not draw you in, read this one for an adventure! Puck and Sean are characters you will remember long after setting this book down.

Maggie Stiefvater is awesome!

If you don't already know who Maggie is, I suggest you become familiar with her works: Shiver, Linger, Forever, Lament, Ballad and The Scorpio Races. She is a brilliant writer! After meeting her on Friday night I can also say that she is an engaging speaker as well. For more info. check out her website and blog.

Lockdown  by Alexander Gordon Smith

When Alex is framed for murder, he becomes an inmate in the Furnace Penitentiary, where brutal inmates and sadistic guards reign. Boys disappear in the middle of the night and sometimes return strangely altered.

Thrilling! Smith does a brilliant job at keeping readers on their toes. Lockdown is mysterious and creative, suspenseful and terrifying. The cliff hanger will leave you desperate for Book 2: Solitary.
