Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Game series is over, and I am... well I'm sad I suppose. It was another awesome book. The series is by far one of my favorite book series ever. And by no means am I ready to be out of the lives of Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. But that is the way books go, do they not? I do plan on revisiting them. (BTW, wee bit of a spoiler below if you haven't read any of the series yet!)

So at this point you know that Katniss and Peeta are both District 12 Victors from the Hunger Games(unprecedented!). And you know that the Capital hates Katniss with a capital H. And that Peeta was never found after their 2nd bout in the Hunger Games. Now we find ourselves in District 13; you know, the district that was supposedly decimated like 75 some odd years ago and the trigger that caused the Hunger Games in the first place. Katniss is not well, District 12 is destroyed, and Peeta is a prisoner of war. Throughout the story we witness the emotional struggles and the impact of war. Collins yet again creates an exciting, morose, and violent world that I will gladly journey to again and again.

If you haven't read the Hunger Games series, I highly suggest you run to your nearest library or book store and get it! No matter your your usual genre preference, age, or gender, (well maybe your gender..? It has a wee little bit o' teen angsty romance action.) you will surely enjoy these books!
