The Night Country
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L · 2020
Sophomore slump mostly avoided—dark, layered YA fantasy with a bisexual protagonist who makes hard choices and lives with the cost; slower pacing than book one but richer mythology.

The Hazel Wood
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 780L · 2017
A genuinely unsettling dark-fairy-tale debut with sharply drawn characters and prose that earns its gothic atmosphere—best for teens already comfortable with literary YA and darker subject matter.
