"Some things can't be changed. They'll always happen the way they were supposed to."

Don't read below if you haven't read the other books!!

Matt thought his troubles were over when he closed Raven's Gate . . . but in fact they were just beginning. His fate -- and the fate of the world -- is tied to four other kids across the globe. The second is a street kid in Peru. He and Matt have never met; they don't even speak the same language. But destiny is going to throw them together as the evil threat of the Old Ones grows . . . and another Gate suddenly comes into play.

"In the end you can't always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go."

Synopsis:

In the Society, officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die.

Cassia has always trusted their choices. It’s hardly any price to pay for a long life, the perfect job, the ideal mate. So when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is the one…until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now Cassia is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s known and a path no one else has ever dared follow—between perfection and passion.

I first found this book in 6th grade; in one of the book fair catalogs. I had no idea what it was about all I knew was that the cover looked frickin' cool. So after about a month it finally arrived, along with Gamer Girl by Mari Mancusi. And there's how I first discovered Matched.. :)

"Open your heart," she said gently. "Someone will come. Someone will come for you. But first you must open your heart."

Synopsis:

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely. And then, one day, he was lost.

This was the book that got me to love reading, I haven't read it in years though. But I like the fact that, even though it's meant for kids, its main character is a rabbit; not some human, alien, etc. I kind of feel in debt to Kate, without her I wouldn't have discovered that books didn't suck. :)

"We need hope or else we cannot endure." -The Prince of Merchants

Synopsis:
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Man, I LOVE this series and Sarah J. Maas. She is a genius!! If you haven't read any of her books... well that's just stupid. You must read her books. :)

"Beautiful. And ugly. The world is always both." -Deuce Oaks

Don't read if you haven't read the other books!!

Synopsis:
Salvation is surrounded, monsters at the gates, and this time, they're not going away. When Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan set out, the odds are against them. But the odds have been stacked against Deuce from the moment she was born. She might not be a Huntress anymore, but she doesn't run. With her knives in hand and her companions at her side, she will not falter, whether fighting for her life or Fade's love.
Ahead, the battle of a lifetime awaits. Freaks are everywhere, attacking settlements, setting up scouts, perimeters, and patrols. There hasn't been a war like this in centuries, and humans have forgotten how to stand and fight. Unless Deuce can lead them.
This time, however, more than the fate of a single enclave or outpost hangs in the balance. This time, Deuce carries the banner for the survival of all humanity.

The horde is coming.
