This Savage Song (2016)
Others: Overwhelmingly positive KATE HARKER wants to be as ruthless as her father. After five years and six boarding schools, she's finally going home to prove that she can be. AUGUST FLYNN wants to be human. But he isn't. He's a monster, one that can steal souls with a song. He's one of the three most powerful monsters in a city overrun with them. His own father's secret weapon. THEIR CITY IS DIVIDED. THEIR CITY IS CRUMBLING. Kate and August are the only two who see both sides, the only two who could do something. But how do you decide to be a hero or a villain when it's hard to tell which is which? This description comes from the publisher.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Rae Carson
2011 · 437 pages · 13 reviews
Others: Overwhelmingly positiveOnce a century, one person is chosen for greatness. Elisa is the chosen one. But she is also the younger of two princesses. The one who has never done anything remarkable, and can't see how she ever will. Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king--a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs her to be the chosen one, not a failure of a princess. And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies, seething with dark magic, are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior, and he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake. Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn't die young. Most of the chosen do.

Others: Mostly positiveJason has a problem. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she’s his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea―except that everything seems very wrong. Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he’s in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn’t recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on? Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What’s troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper’s gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all―including Leo―related to a god.

Neal Shusterman
2006 · 328 pages · 2 reviews
Others: PositiveNick and Allie don't survive the car accident... ...but their souls don't exactly get where they're supposed to get either. Instead, they're caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no longer exist. It's a magical, yet dangerous place where bands of lost children run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth. When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost kids, Nick feels like he he's found a home, but Allie isn't satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the "Criminal Art" of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost. In this imaginative novel, Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what just might lie in between. (Book Cover)

Loved itI think it's a criminally underrated series or duology
Review 1 of 2
Loved itI loved this I blew through it I couldn't put it down I would just highly recommend this
Loved itI actually read four books by Victoria Schwab this year and any one of these could have been the one I chose for this list because I adored all of these books. Like Victoria Schwab is one of my favorite authors and that has just been like cemented now after I read all of these books because they were all amazing and fantastic.
Not a fanthe first book this savage song I read last year I wasn't the biggest fan of it
Loved itI really enjoyed it I thought it was a really interesting novel I like that she kind of took some tropes such as the monster a paranormal story and then added some new twist to it
Loved itI haven't read like vicious and stuff I have read this Savage song which I also loved
Loved itI really liked it was fast-paced it had a bit of a slow start but after that it was just I don't know I just found it very interesting
Loved itI just loved everything about this book I loved the world and how dark it was I freaking adored the characters especially August was my favorite by far
Loved itBut this one, I didn't really know what to expect. I just kind of went into it and I ended up really loving it. It's all about kind of good and evil and how the boundaries between good and evil are blurred and it's this crazy world with monsters and music and it's just awesome.
