I don't know exactly how underrated it is, but Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson totally stole my heart. I never hear anyone talk about it, which sucks since its absolutely amazing!

I enjoyed the Ashes Trilogy by Ilsa J. Bick. I also loved the Starcrossed Trilogy by Josephine Angelini. I don't hear them talked about often, if that is what you meant by "unpopular".

Well, you can definitely try the book 'The Honest Truth'. It is brutal and heartbreaking and makes you fall in love with the character.

I loved The Girl Who Dared to Think series by Bella Forrest. I'm always recommending the series to people and am shocked that others aren't talking about how fantastic it is!

Well, I know many uderrated books, but as far as unpopular, every single book written by Alex Wheatle. I can't get why, I loved his Crongton Knights series and looking forward to read more (the last book, Home girl, was avaible on amazon since the fourth of April 2019, and I'm waiting the expedition). All the previous novels were amazing and thrilling, so I have high espectation on this one :mrgreen: :animals-mouse: :animals-mouse: :animals-mouse:

What I saw and how I lied by Judy Blundell, read it in middle school and loved it, mature but not too mature and interesting

I recommend BLOOD OF ANGELS (Elioud Chronicles Book 1). This is the first in the series and is very fresh but also very promising! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R6QKMNY

David Levithan's books are pretty underrated to me; I don't hear a lot of people talking about his works. My favorite novel of his is "Everyday," which was recently made into a movie but I haven't seen it.

I just finished reviewing A Bloody Book by Chris Bowen. I was really impressed with everything except the title and the cover! I feel like it won't get the attention it deserves because of those two things.

I read Zarox a while ago, which I really liked! Although it's quite young so would probably be a mix of middle grade and YA...

True same here! The plot was filled with so many twists and the ending was so not expected.

Latest Review: Zara Hanson & The Mystery of the Painted Symbol by J.L. Haynes

They Both Die at the End is an incredible novel for YA. It follows two boys after they get the news that they will both die from unknown circumstances within the next 24 hours, and how they cope with the knowledge of the inevitable. It is both heartbreaking and uplifting, definitely worth your time.

I don't know how underrated they are, but Carve The Mark by Veronica Roth, Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton, The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller, the Underworld trilogy by Meg Cabot, books by Penelope Ward, and Penelope Douglas are some of my all-time favorites.
