The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Each year on St. Mark’s Eve, Blue Sargent sits beside her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead take their ritual walk through the churchyard. Despite Blue’s inability to see the souls passing, her presence amplifies her mother’s psychic abilities. This year everything changes when one young soul walks directly up to Blue and speaks aloud his own name, Gansey. This inexplicable interaction is just the beginning of a journey towards uncovering secrets long buried in ancient times.

This mystifying read offers a delightful adventure from start to finish. Click here to check out the creepy book trailer created by the author!

Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill

Really cool concept! This novel in prose is told from the perspectives of the young girls who, allegedly, became afflicted and made accusations against innocents during the Salem Witch Trials.

The fact that this is based on actual events in history is haunting! If faced with power, how far would you go?
