Best of the Bunch – August 2011

Best of the Bunch is an award which was created by Lyrical over at Lyrical Reviews. It's to award the most amazing book that you've read this month. And this month, the winner of the Best of the Bunch award is...

Fury by Elizabeth Miles (Review here)

Sometimes sorry isn't enough....

It’s winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems...

Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year’s even better--the guy she’s been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there’s no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em’s best friend.

On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that’s nothing compared to what’s really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it’s only a matter of time before he’s exposed.

In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls—three beautiful, mysterious girls—are here to choose who will pay.

Em and Chase have been chosen.

I hadn't read too many books this month, with school starting and all, but it was difficult picking between Fury and another book Clean by Amy Reed. But I found Clean very sad and quite depressing, while Fury had much more action. But I loved both :)
