10. The Selection Series by Kiera Cass
If you love Dystopian with a lot of Romance this is a great read!

If you take The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins put it in a bowl and mix it with ABC's The Bachelor and bake it you would end up with the delicious Selection series that will have you hooked from the first book!
9. The House of Night Series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Living in the house of night not only does she have to worry about making the change to vampyre alive, but she also has to survive her own destiny. In this series, nothing is as it seems Zoey Redbird faces many challenges, between good and evil, life and death, friends and foes and some serious love triangles.
These books will surely keep you on the edge of your seat! You will fall in love with Zoey and the circle of friends that are always by her side. It is not your average vampyre series.
8. Peachville High Demons Series by Sarra Cannon

Peachville High is Harper's last chance for a fresh start and she soon finds out after she joins the worshiped cheer squad, that she is here by no mistake. With a small town full of horrible secrets and with the help of a demon she finds out what is right and wrong.
This series had me reading one book after the other and does not compare to any other books!
7. Shadow Falls Series by C.C. Hunter
After being at the wrong place with the wrong people Kylie Galen is sent to Shadow Falls, a camp for young troubled teens, only the teens aren't troubled... they are supernatural! Vampires, witches, werewolves, shapeshifters and fairies are brought to Shadow Falls to learn and Harness their powers. Kylie at first does not believe she is one of them, but ultimately finds out she is right where she belongs.
Reading this series I fell in love with Kylie and her roommates from the start. These books definitely made me laugh and held my interest until the last book. Each book brings you closer and closer to finding out what Kylie is and I just couldn't put these books down.
6. Divergent Series by Veronica Roth
Beatrice Prior "Tris",After choosing to leave Abnegation and her family at the choosing ceremony where all sixteen year olds choose the faction they will initiate into, and joining the dauntless, Tris has to not only survive initiation, but also keep her secret- that she is Divergent.
This series is AMAZING and Divergent is the only book I have EVER read twice.. but a warning if you don't want to cry your eyes out, stay away from the third book!
5. The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine
Claire Danvers is 16 years old and a very intelligent student at Texas Prairie University in Morganville,Texas, a city controlled by vampires. In Morganville, vampires consider humans second class citizens, but Claire proves she is both tough and clever earning her respect from some and hate from others. In this series you follow Claire as she lands herself smack dab in the middle of something horrible in every book and overcomes obstacles and uses her cleverness to somehow get out of a lot of messes!
Claire is not your typical heroin which makes me love her even more. She is small and anything but helpless and her toughness helps her overcome just about anything!
4. Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
While in a club called Pandemonium with her best friend Simon, she witnesses a murder by three strange teenagers with tattoos. Curious about her and how she can see him, one of the teens, Jace pulls her into a world full of Nephilim (human-angel hybrids) and demons that she was a part of all along. When Clary's mother disappears, she does everything in her power to find her and discovers secrets about herself and her family that you wouldn't see coming.
This series is full of surprises and if you haven't read it already then it is definitely a must read.
3. The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel
Ever is not a normal teenage girl since her parents were killed in an accident she has been able to hear peoples thoughts, see auras, and know someones life story by a simple touch. She spends her time avoiding human contact until she meets Damen Auguste and learns who she is, the horrible secrets of her past lives and about the mysterious Shadowland.
What I like most about this series is that somehow you have hope for even the villains to pull through.
2. Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
Bella Swan moves to the small town of Forks, Washington where she risks everything for a vampire she falls in love with, Edward Cullen. Bella becomes a target for numerous vampires, but is protected by not only the Cullen family, but a tribe of werewolves, one of which is in love with Bella.
So if you haven't read Twilight yet then read the first three chapters and either you will throw the book away or be extremely hooked, I was hooked.
1. The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins
Katniss Everdeen Volunteers herself into The Hunger Games after her sisters name is drawn, where she enters the area with twenty four other tributes to compete for her life for the capitals entertainment. When she breaks many rules she becomes a symbol for rebellion and fights for a difference in her world.
When you start reading the first book make sure you have the other two on hand. You will read these books back to back!
