The Taker by Alma Katsu                (U.S./U.K./Spain)

Love the U.S.'s book cover the best with its gold and green colors which contrast with the background. The Taker has been on many a book blogger's reading lists for a reason- The cover. But, it's the story that really gets them. The U.K. cover is my next favorite in second place. The problem with The Taker is that all the covers look really spectacular. Keep wondering, if I'm the only one with this problem. Also, noticed since I'm a spanish speaker myself that the translation isn't The Taker in spanish it's really immortal. Just something to think about.

"XVI" BY JULIA KARR 

A dystopia close to "1984" by George Orwell, whose book is mentioned several times. A "Big Brother", able to track people through GPS implanted, listen to your private conversations and an obligation to tattooed women from 16 to guarantee their safety. A world where thinking and silence are prohibited. A state where the brains are appropriately handled through commercial advertising. 

 I love dystopias for the reassuring feelings they give you. You can always close the book by saying it's a fantasy straight out of the mind of the author, if reading bothers us.
Also a view of the world much scarier because the one offered to our reading is always much closer to the real world in which we live than you want to believe.
