5 books for Teens

Most Teens don´t like to read at all because of the horrible books teachers make us read at school, but there are some good books out there that I´m sure would interest even the laziest teenager! In hope to encourage at least one person to read more I´ll put a list bellow of the books that I think are perfect for teens who don´t like to read:

1. Marked by P.C. Cast 

Zoey is a normal teenage girl in a parallel world very similar to ours but in this one humans know about the existence of vampires. One normal day at school when zoey  is walking to her locker a traker ( vampire who tells people they have been marked to be fledglings) finds her and tells her she has to go to the house of night(a school for vampires in training) a mark with the shape of a crescent moon grows on zoey`s face and she has to go to the house of night to learn how to be a vampire, that if her body resists the change, cause if not, she will die. Little did zoey know her life was about to change drastically because she have been chosen as a special fledgling by their goddess Nyx.
