**One more note. As it is this post is without my input because I finished these books weeks ago, and I hadn't written down any thoughts I had about them. I apologize for the inconvienience of not knowing why I rated them the way I did**
The Human
by Keary Taylor
Summary:
The city of New Eden is cleared, but it won’t stay that way
forever. The Bane continue to advance in horrific ways that will wipe humanity
from the face of the Earth. A storm is coming, one none of them could have dared
imagine.
When a group of outsiders come to the city, everyone is on edge. They have too many questions and not enough answers about where they are from or what they want. Just because they are human doesn’t mean they can be trusted.
Eve made a choice–one that could have deadly repercussions. Desperate hearts bring about desperate actions. Now she must make another decision as her world continues to crumble: come to terms with who she really is, or risk her sanity. She thought she had unlocked all the secrets from her past, but there are truths still buried that leave her questioning what is real and what is not.

Black Heart
by Holly Black
Summary:
Love is dangerous and trust is priceless in the satisfying conclusion to Holly Black’s “powerful, edgy dark” fantasy series (Publishers Weekly).
Cassel Sharpe knows he’s been used as an assassin, but he’s trying to put all that behind him. He’s trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. He’s trying to do the right thing, even though the girl he loves is the one he should stay the farthest away from. And he’s trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is smart, even though he’s been raised to believe the government is the enemy. But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what’s right and what’s wrong becomes increasingly blurred. When the Feds ask Cassel to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what’s a con and what’s truth. In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet—this time on love.

Enclave
by Ann Aguirre
Summary:
New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most of
civilization has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is no
more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a
Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young
boy. When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated
by the tunnel monsters--or Freaks--who seem to be growing more organized, the
elders refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from the
enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight--guided by Fade's
long-ago memories--in the ruins of a city whose population has dwindled to a few
dangerous gangs.
Ann Aguirre's thrilling young adult novel is the story of two young people
in an apocalyptic world--facing dangers, and feelings, unlike any they've ever
known.

While the other girls in the walled city-state of Baalboden learn to sew and dance, Rachel Adams learns to track and hunt. While they bend like reeds to the will of their male Protectors, she uses hers for sparring practice.
When Rachel's father fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the city's brutal Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector: her father's apprentice, Logan—the boy she declared her love to and who turned her down two years before. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father's survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself.
As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can't be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.

by Sarah Walsh
Summary
Mysterious lights have flickered above Crownsville for as long as Mia can remember. And as far as she’s concerned, that’s about the only interesting thing to happen in her small town.
That is, until Sol arrives. Mia’s not one to fall for just any guy, but she can’t get Sol—or the brilliant tattoo on his back—out of her mind.
Then Mia’s brother goes missing, and Mia’s convinced that Sol knows more than he’s sharing. But getting closer to Sol means reevaluating everything Mia once believed to be true. Because Sol’s not who Mia thought he was—and neither is she.

If the books are in a series I post the order the series is in below the summary or my thoughts. That way you can read the first book first, even if I didn't.
