Title:Thirteen
Author: Tom Hoyle 
Genre: Young Adult
Publication Date: 13th February 2014

Goodreads summary: Born at midnight in London, on the stroke of the new millennium, Adam is the target of a cult that believes boys born on this date must die before the end of their thirteenth year. Twelve boys have been killed so far. Coron, the crazy cult leader, will stop at nothing to bring in his new kingdom. And now he is planning a bombing spectacular across London to celebrate the sacrifice of his final victim: Adam.

{ Thoughts }

This novel has a rather morbid plot line but it sounds like an action packed story that will no doubt keep me engaged for several hours. I'm interested to see what sort of story this will be i.e. will there be any romance, social commentary etc. This seems like more 'boy'-ish YA, which there really isn't enough of so I look forward to getting my hands on a copy!

    This looks really good. There are very few boy-ish YA books and this looks like it could be a good contender! :)

    Thanks for sharing! :)
