Stand Alone Books

[Kyra]

What are some good YA stand alone books? I'm looking for some in the Dystopia and Paranormal genre. But please post books in any genre.
Thanx!

The Host by Stephanie Meyer

The Host has graduated to a trilogy... just so you know. :)

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
This is a great classic Dystopian novel. It was written in the mid 50's but many of the things that are talked about are eerily close to how things are these days.

The Assassins of Tamurin by S.D. Tower

Is another great novel. Its closer to a high fantasy/ epic fantasy rather than Ya-fantasy. But its still a really great book.

I have to see it before I believe it. Cause Stephenie said that years ago and there is still not even a plot so. But maybe one day.

I didn't know it was that long ago. I guess if it hasn't happened by now, it never will.

Yeah, about half a year after The Host came out there was talk about a sequel. And somewhere along the last few years, I just gave up on it. Plus the ending of the Host was pretty good. I mean, she could write a sequel, but it's not needed.

It's hard to make recommendations for stand alone Fantasy/paranormal books. Everything is a series or trilogy. :/

[Alyssa]

I know right! So frustrating! There are just too much series out there and then take up so much time.

It's so hard finding stand alones! I can only think of two. The first is A Bite's Tale. It's a retelling of Cinderella with a paranormal twist. I love it!

Another is Jinx. About a girl that stays with her family, where her cousin isn't the same as she used to be and she learns of family secrets that may be true. I enjoyed it as a stand alone, I don't think it had a sequel.

Hope you find something you like!

Thanks for the suggestions!

No problem! Happy reading :)
