My Top 5 YA of 2010 - Amy Parker

5) Malinda Lo – Ash

A fresh, interesting take on the classic Cinderella fairytale.

4) Melissa Marr – Wicked Lovely

A deftly-spun tale of one girl’s struggle against the allure of the faerie kingdom.

3) Michelle Zink – Prophecy of the Sisters

A unique, compelling story of the battle of wills between two sisters, set in the late 19th century.

2) Scott Westerfeld – The Midnighters Trilogy

Fantastic, dark series about the twenty-fifth hour, which is only perceptible to those born at midnight.

1) Kelley Armstrong – The Darkest Powers Trilogy

Set in the author’s established Otherworld universe, this teen trilogy stands alone, and stands out for me as the best YA of 2010.
