Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It's a fantasy trilogy, and awesome.
The Gunslinger by Stephen King. That's actually just the first book of The Dark Tower, which is seven books total. Tha Dark Tower is sort of like a horror/fantasy/western.

Veil of Darkness
'He, who killed me with his smile, had to die …
It was only a book, after all. A fat, old-fashioned-looking book, tucked away in the library of the Cornish hotel where Kirsty was hiding from her husband and all the violence and horror of her old life. The book seemed to offer her an escape, a new start, a different life for her and her children. For surely Kirsty deserved better - money, a decent house, security and friendship - and the book suddenly, miraculously, promised to give her all these things. Kirsty knew what had to be done, but she had to have help, and with her new-found friends at the hotel she had all the help she needed.
But slowly, insidiously, things started to go horribly wrong. The book seemed to take over all their lives, influencing their behaviour and leading them down bleak and terrible roads. Kirsty's past began to catch up with her, until she had to confront the worst of her fears in the darkness.
Once again Gillian White introduces us to a world in which the most ordinary of happenings turn into the stuff of nightmares.

Well I'm not male but my dad recommended these books to me, I'm in the age group you listed (17) and I thought they were good.
"As the crow flies"
"The fourth estate"
They are both by Jeffrey Archer. I personally enjoyed "As the crow flies" more than the other one.
