Catriona Ward. I heard a lot of buzz around The Last House on Needless Street, so I checked it out. It didn't really work for me for a variety of reasons.
I decided to try Sundial by her, and while it took me a few chapters to get into, I ended up enjoying it. Then I read Little Eve and got into that one right away and ended up loving it.
I currently have Looking Glass Sound at the top of my TBR pile.
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I don't think it's the worst book ever. It has some bright spots, but it was a book I read several times thinking that a book by the Fight Club guy must have some deeper meaning. It doesn't, but it is poorly paced, sometimes incoherent, tedious edge-lord nonsense.
