Here are the Paste Magazine's top YA books this month:

Many of these novels feature characters at their worst and life situations at their most horrifying, so prepare to be unnerved and engaged by these tales.

The game is wildly creative and addictive, and the ability to create your own playable characters just adds to the fun. As an adult playing this game, I appreciate how self-aware the creators are about this game, and that they don't actually take themselves too seriously.

The Book Thief is one of my favorite young adult novels. The creativity of writing from the perspective of Death made this story memorable to me. I felt close to the characters and empathized with them.

It’s grittier than the other X-Men movies because they were able to get the R rating. It’s darker and more adult. I enjoyed the action scenes and the storyline was fast paced. If you have any interest in Wolverine you will definitely want to see this!
