6. Replica by Lauren Oliver
Replica is a super cool double narrative book. It's called a flip book, because you need to flip the book to read each narrative. Kind of complicated, but totally worth it. You can read both stories simultaneously, or you can read them separately. Either way it's a really interesting and entertaining read.

This is a twisty, horror-ish, romance-ish novel from the Collector Trilogy. The story follows a man, "The Gardener," collects young woman and keeps them in his garden. I can't really delve into it without giving away too much, so that's all I'm going to say about it.
