Murdered in the 1970s, Molly is a ghost who appears as a hitchhiker to drivers. When Tatum picks her up, Molly foresees Tatum's equally horrible death by school bullies and swears to protect her. Flashbacks slowly reveal how both girls came to be in danger, ratcheting up the tension. But prepare to suspend disbelief as characters act unrealistically and excessively violent and overt bullying goes unchecked.

Six years ago, at age eleven, Faye and her best friend Christian were forced to take the ultra-addictive drug Heam. Christian died; Faye, permanently scarred, became a pariah. Faye has vowed to kill the perpetrators, though the arrival of mysterious Chael complicates her resolution. The intense, gritty supernatural novel takes a hard look at the consequences of obsession and revenge.

YA
The group of teens from Dark Inside who survived the disaster that turned most of the world's population into Baggers must continue to hide from these humanoid monsters on the decimated streets of Vancouver. Although the alternating narration, especially chapters narrated by "Nothing," is a bit confusing, the high-stakes plot and tense atmosphere will thrill fans of post-apocalyptic fiction.

YA
Earthquakes cause a large proportion of the earth's population to become raging maniacs bent on homicide. Four teens who seem unaffected gradually come together in order to survive. Though the characters are generally indistinguishable, an intriguing premise and the story's fast pacing will attract sci-fi fans. The book's many unanswered questions may be addressed in sequels.
