Eve by Anna Carey

This is the first in a planned trilogy, which I announce triumphantly. That's because I can't wait for the next installment. I'm getting ahead of myself, though. Ms. Carey's twist on dystopian America is fascinating. The world is not good - and people react predictably: some with superstition, some by snatching power, but some with courage and fortitude. Eve's background is the same as many teens in this world - she is on the cusp of adulthood. Finding to her horror that the propaganda she has been fed for most of her childhood is deception, Eve makes a choice with far-reaching consequences. One of the best I have read in quite a while.

Operation Napoleon by Arnaldur Indriadason

Operation Napoleon by Arnaldur Indriadason is a mystery thriller that will hold your attention.  Indridason is an Icelandic novelist and the setting for the novel is on a glacier in Iceland.  A World War II German plane, piloted by an American officer, crashed in the last days of the war and a group of Americans in the present are turning heaven and earth to find it and reclaim a secret it carries.  They do not let murdering Icelandic rescuers stand in their way to retrieve and cover up the reason for the search.  The author is a good writer and the story moves rapidly.  If you are addicted to thrillers this is one you will find enjoyable.
