Silver by Chris Wooding

Paul is the new kid at Mortingham Boarding Academy.  Caitlin likes Paul; Paul likes Erika. Adam is a bully; Mark is outgrowing his old friends... None of it matters as a terrifying infection sweeps the school, turning students and faculty into human-machine hybrids.

Silver is a thrilling and scary siege adventure.  It's a survival story with school drama.  The characters can seem a little cliche: smart, over-acheiving girl with insecurities, science nerd, hulking bully with a tough home life.  But the author creates a compelling story of science gone horribly wrong. I recommend it for anyone who likes to be scared.
