The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

... a fast-moving plot filled with non-stop action, escapes, and high stakes?

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

If you couldn't turn the pages fast enough during Clary's wild chases, demon encounters, and desperate rescues, you'll be hooked by Ruby's flight from government pursuers, daring breakouts, and the relentless pace that keeps you reading late into the night.
