Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J. K. Rowling

It is Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts and Voldemort is on the loose. There is quite a bit of snogging and sulking among the sixth years as they try to deal with their hormones, classes, and being on the look-out for Death Eaters. It's a year they will never forget.

I must say that I liked how she got right into the story this time with out any recapping of Harry's upbringing. I also thought that the writing was better this time around.

Highly Recommended
