New book series to read?

I have just recently finished my book series and I would like to find a new series to start. I have already read the Hunger games, the Uglies, the house of night, twilight, vampire academy, and Pretty Little Liars or what has come out of those series so far. I enjoy YA novels with some mystery in it. I am a guy but as you can see from the books i have read i don't see a real boundary in literature....Though i don't want to read just straight up romance novels. I would like for there to be another main plot and there can be some romance mixed in as long as it doesn't take over the whole series. Any suggestions would be helpful. I would also prefer if it was a series and not just a single book. Oh! and I read Percy Jackson and Maze Runner series also. :) thank you

Update:

Thank you guys for the suggestions but yes i have read harry potter.

    As a major Vampire Academy/Hunger Games fan, here are some books/series I recommend to you. :)

    ***

    The Demon Trapper's Daughter by Jana Oliver ♥

    *Soul Thief

    *Forgiven ♥

    *Foretold - releases December 11, 2012

    Note: I LOVE this series and I'm dying for book 4!! It's really too bad that it'll be the last in the series. It's told in 3rd person POV and you get to see things from both Riley's and Beck's perspectives. Seriously, check this series out. It's soooooo good.

    Storm by Brigid Kemmerer

    *Spark - releases August 28, 2012

    Note: This is about four brothers who get into tons of trouble because they can control the elements, and a girl who gets mixed up in their crazy business. I'd suggest you read the short story, Elemental, first though because it's a prequel to Storm. Also told in 3rd person.

    Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

    *The Golden Lily

    *The Indigo Spell - releases February 12, 2013

    Note: This is the spin-off series to Vampire Academy. It's told from Sydney's perspective and features some of the side characters from the VA series.

    Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

    *Unravel Me - releases February 5, 2013

    Note: I really enjoyed this book. Juliette seems sorta wimpy at first, but she becomes pretty kickass by the end. Book 2 doesn't release for a while, but there's also Warner's novella, Destroy Me, coming out in October to look forward to.

    Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder ♥

    *Outside In

    Note: I absofreakinglutely loved Inside Out. Trella is yet another kickass heroine.

    Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

    *Days of Blood and Starlight - releases November 6, 2012

    Note: Read this. It was awesome. Involves angels. And wishes. I can't wait for the next one.

    Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder ♥

    *Magic Study ♥

    *Fire Study

    Note: If you like fantasy you'll probably like this. Yelena was such a strong heroine; she learns how to fight and use a bo staff.

    Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo ♥

    *Siege and Storm - TBA 2013

    Note: I read this recently and thought it was INCREDIBLE. Definitely one of my favorite books of 2012.

    Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers ♥

    *Dark Triumph - TBA 2013

    Note: Another one of my favorite books this year!! Come on, assassin nuns? That's freaking awesome!! It's French history with fantasy and magic tied in. This does have a bit more of a romance but it's mostly political intrigue. I loved it. :)

    I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga

    Note: I bought this recently and I've been dying to read it. It sounds like a really good thriller/mystery. The main character is a guy and it's told in 3rd person POV.

    Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

    *Girl of Nightmares - releases August 7, 2012

    Note: This was so much fun. If you like spooky ghost stories, you'll like this. I can't wait to find out what happens next! This is told from a male POV.

    The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

    Note: I think it's about a vampire pretending to be human in order to find a cure... I haven't read anything by this author, but her Iron Fey series has been really popular.

    The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda

    Note: I haven't read this... but it sounded good. I've seen it compared to Hunger Games but you probably shouldn't have such high expectations. *shrug* I think it's about a human who pretends to be a vampire... so like the opposite of The Immortal Rules. :P

    This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers

    Note: Zombies. I don't know about you, but I love zombies. I want this book soooo bad... I've been waiting months to read it. I've only been hearing good things about it so I'm really excited about reading it.

    Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry

    *Dust & Decay

    *Flesh & Bone - releases September 11, 2012

    Note: More zombies. The main character is a guy. I started the first book but I haven't finished it yet.

    The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch

    Note: The main character in this is also a guy. I actually haven't read it yet but I would really like to!! With a recommendation from Suzanne Collins (author of Hunger Games) I'd say it's definitely worth checking out.

    Percy Jackson is an awesome series. There is a sort of sequel series to that called Heroes of Olympus. Also, I've just finished reading the last book in a series called Starfire Angels by Melanie Nilles which was reaaly good. Also try the Alex Rider or Cherub series if you want something more sort of military. Hope i helped in some way! :)

    (all of these are YA)

    Wolves of Mercy Falls series - Maggie Stiefvater

    This is about werewolves, romance, and just an

    awesome mixture of the two. First book is called

    Shiver.

    Mortal Instruments series - Cassandra Clare

    Amazing series. Monster hunter type of thing

    with some romance and really awesome stuff.

    First book is City of Bones.

    Fallen series by Lauren Kate - I HATE these.

    People think Twilight is bad? God, these

    are WORSE. But...many people seem to enjoy

    them, for an unfathomable reason. It's about

    fallen angels and I guess romance, though I

    call it crap. First book is called Fallen.

    That's basically it. If you go into the YA

    section of Barnes and Noble, you'll find

    these very easily and you'll probably find

    others like them.

    Do you read epic fantasy? I recommend it. There is a little romance and a lot of action!

    Epic fantasy books:

    The name of the wind( Kingkiler Chronicles #1) by Patrick Rothfuss

    Eye of the world( Wheel of time #1) by Robert Jordan

    The Fellowship of the Ring (Lord of the Rings #1)by J.R.R. Tolkien

    The Magicians' Guild (Black Magician Trilogy #1 ) by Trudi Canavan

    There are a lot, lot more, but I don't want to suffocate you!

    YA books (not so much romance):

    The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa

    Darkness becomes her by Kelly Keaton

    Angelfall by Susan Ee

    Morganville vampires series by Rachel Caine

    Hope you like it!

    The infernal Devices Series is a prequel to the Mortal Instruments series and they are both awesome (cassandra Clare)

    And these are quite romance-y but the Halo series is really really good too (Alexandra Adornetto)

    You should read:

    1. The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis (series)

    2. The Young Unicorns by Madeleine L'Engle

    The Young Unicorns (a suspense novel) is the third book in a series but can stand alone.

    I hope you enjoy! Have fun reading.

    Women of the otherworld series! Its action packed there is not a moment where there is not suspense! There is romance mixed in, but its hardly the point of the books. I know it's says "women" in there but I promise it's not a chick book! It's action packed and very good(:

    Harry Potter is just straight up awesome, if you haven't read it already.

    Also, I think it's cool that you don't see a boundary in literature.
