Hope's End by Stephen Chambers (I didn't really care for the big plot surprise at the end of this, but I thought the character's rebellion against his society was pretty well written and believeable. I liked it enough to read the sequel.)
Ghosts in the Snow and Threads of Malice by Tamara Siler Jones (The back says it combines forensics, fantasy, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. I'd definitely buy the forensics and fantasy part, but I might go so far as to call this horror rather than suspense. If you have an active imagination, this may not be for you. I actually woke up from a nightmare about the bad guy in the second book! There's a third one out that I would read.)
Beka Cooper by Tamora Pierce. (I have read and loved everything Tamora Pierce ever wrote. However, although this hardback is set in the same universe as her Alanna series, it is a very different book. For starters, it's written as a series of diary entries. The first three try to set the placement of the story in the universe, but that only works if you're familiar with her earlier stories. I guess she may be a big name enough author - I mean, I recognized all of the characters she was referring to - but it nonetheless was a bit annoying to read three abrupt journal entries, especially since at least one of them was written by a barely literate character. I was caught up in the actual story once it started, however, and rapidly grew to like the main character much like I have most of her earlier characters. Amusingly, I'm just making the connections between this and the two books above with the fantasy, forensic, and horror themes. These are prevalent themes in all three books. I enjoyed the way the pages were decorated around the edges to look like a journal and how there is an ink blot on one page where the character is startled while writing.)
