Of those, my favourite so far was Boundless by Cynthia Hand. The Unearthly series was amazing, and I have a bit of a book hangover! If you love YA Fantasy/Paranormal, I highly recommend the series. The biggest disappointment was Lamb by Christopher Moore. I'm a huge Moore fan, and this one just didn't click with me. That was followed by a close second, The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. For a book that is touted as a "heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense," it was anything but!
