YA Book Suggestions Please?
I love YA paranormal romance. Shiver, Evernight, Deadly Little Secret, Hush Hush, Need, and Vampire Academy are among my favorite books.
I'm also a fan of anything with a good post-apocalyptic or dystopian setting. I loved The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451 (and anything else written by Ray Bradbury), Unwind, Life As We Knew It, Gone, and Candor.
I'd really like it if the books were YA, but they don't necessarily have to be. Please don't suggest Twilight, Percy Jackson, or House of Night--I hate those books. I also don't like regency books, or anything mushy by Nicholas Sparks or Sarah Dessen. I want a little violence to go with my romance and dystopias, plzkthnx. (:

There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race.

Midnighters : The Secret Hour by scott westerfeld
Nobody is safe in the secret hour.
Strange things happen at midnight in the town of Bixby, Oklahoma.
Time freezes.
Nobody moves.
For one secret hour each night, the town belongs to the dark creatures that haunt the shadows. Only a small group of people know about the secret hour -- only they are free to move about the midnight time.

I think you're gonna like Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale". It's a beautifully written dystopia.
Another dystopia would be Kazuo Ishiguro-"Never Let Me Go", which is a book I absolutely fell in love with. I cannot tell you more and I would suggest not reading online reviews, since they seem to give it away. But I can assure you that you will love this one, everyone I know who read it has been impressed by it.

Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. They're my favorites :] First book is The City of Bones.
- 1 decade ago
the mortal instruments by cassandra clare. city of bones, city of ashes, city of glass.
vamps, werewolves and supernatural with romance. its an older teen book with sex referances and the characters are 16 and 17.
its a really interesting story with some interesting love interests in it but it keeps to the 'save the world' plotline without killing it off with the romance (aka twilight). i love the books.
another book i'd recomend is the demons lexicon by sarah rees brennan but it's british and isn't a complete series yet. its alot like the former books but set in exeter rather than brooklyn :D
i'd also try holly blacks books. i think they start with tithe but i'm not sure because my sisters read them not me. i've only read one and it was ok but not my sort of thing, it was a bit like twilight with more romance than 'bad guy' plot. their more adult than most (the one i read started with the main character moaning how her boyfriend didn't want to sleep with her any more to go home to find him with her mother on the living room floor...yeah).
ironically i think all three authors are friends (even though brennan's british).
oh and all are urban fantasy :D
http://www.mortalinstruments.com/ easy to find the books so just browse the site, it's interesting.
http://www.sarahreesbrennan.com/demonlexchapter1.h... the demons lexicon link at the top of the website is broke for me but the ones down the side work well and give lots of info. theres even a first chapter of the first book.
http://www.blackholly.com/youngadult.html the books at the bottom of the page i linked to. i read valiant. i thought they were a trilogy but apparently not, just the same universe i think :D
i hope i helped
