Rebel Angels by Libba Bray
Grabbed this on my way out of the library for summer break. I kept hearing about Libba Bray from some high school students, and I noticed that the author wasn't checked out very much on the middle school side. The reviews mostly say 8th-grade and up, but I'm sorry I had forgotten the author when my readers who look for "fat books" came inquiring last year. This was pretty much a page-turner for me, and I hadn't even read the first book, A Great and Terrible Beauty. In that book Gemma Doyle broke the runes that kept magic in check in the wonderful and frightening world of the "Realms." Although it appears she's just another student at a Victorian finishing school--she learns in the second book that she must return to the Realms to undo the harm she unleashed there. There are ghastly creatures, betrayals, horrifying visions, plot twists, and plenty of romance.
