What am I reading now? A Beautiful Dark (Jocelyn Davies) Annd. . . what do I think of it so far? Normal high school stuff here--sorta-selfish best friend, have to deal with guys, orphan with sketchy history, skiing any chance she gets, war in Heaven and fallen angles--oh, right, not your normal high school experience.

The blurb for Variant:
Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.
He was wrong.
Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.
Where breaking the rules equals death.

Hi! I'm a Canadian author, too. :-) Been meaning to read this one.
I keep telling everyone there's no way I can pick a best from my 2011 reading pile, so I keep highlighting a different one each time.
I'm going to speak up for Libba Bray's GOING BOVINE. I'm positive it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it.
