YA
For six months in the labyrinth, the quiet, nameless girl protagonist has managed to survive the monsters mostly alone. She's discovered two other tribes of teen survivors, but deceit breeds distrust between them. With a fight threatened, the girl is caught in the middle. This sequel to the dystopic Children of Icarus continues its harrowing violence and desperate search for salvation.

YA
An unnamed sixteen-year-old girl becomes one of the chosen teens to traverse the labyrinth surrounding their city--eventually, they're told, to become angels. Yet in the maze there are terrors, monsters, and hard truths for which none of the teens are prepared. Much is left unresolved, but fans of the Hunger Games and Divergent books looking for a gorier next read should enjoy this paranormal dystopia.
