Unearthed - Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

This is the first book in a series which is being described as Lara Croft meets Indiana Jones in space - and it totally lives up to how cool that description makes it sound! I read this in November and loved it - the only problem being the inevitable wait for the sequel! 

Arkanae - Lynette Noni

This is another first book in a series, but the good news here is that not only are there already two more books available, but book four is being released in February. The Medoran Chronicles are a little bit Harry Potter, a little Narnia, and a lot of fun. I flew through the first book and can't wait to read the others so I'm ready when Graevale is released!

So those are my favourite recommendations for your last minute gift shopping - or for anyone lucky enough to get a book store gift voucher for Christmas and looking for ideas =)
