Dead Set by Richard KadreyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you're looking for a young adult fantasy that does not fall into the "teen romance" trope, this is a great choice.
With Zoe, Kadrey has seamlessly dodged every archetype I've read in YA female leads yet nailed the young female voice dead on. She is both damaged and endearing. She makes good choices and bad ones. She's clever and witty and rebellious. She saves the swearing for when it's the only way to express herself, and just when you think she's acting a little too mature, she does something a teenager would do. The only way to describe her is as one of those people every one says carries an old soul trapped in a teenage body.
The setting, is as always, very well crafted. Kadrey corrupts one reality and twists it into his own, in Dead Set.

Make energy efficiency a sure thing in your home by installing a programmable thermostat and putting other appliances on timers. Set your thermostat for different temperatures at different times of the day, depending on who is or is not home. Likewise, set appliances on timers that shut them off regardless of whether or not anyone is home.

Make Play Bazaar sure to wash thoroughly. Don't neglect the vagina. It will keep you smelling pleasant, feeling fresh, and helps to prevent yeast infections. Spots that often go unnoticed include the folds. They are prone to bacteria accumulation so take care to clean them on a regular Satta King basis when showering or bathing.
