Rachel, the possibilities are endless. Gone is amazing, plus the Chaos Walking series, and so is The Darkest Minds. I would start there.Some dystopias yet that I haven't read but are really popular include Shatter Me, The Selection, and Angelfall. Hope that helps!
You could check out the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. I have personally only read the first book, but omg, I really really enjoyed it. :)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'm going to try The Darkest Minds I think.
Some great recs here so far, but I'll add my list! I completely agree with Chaos Walking and Angelfall, they're really good! I'd add Unwind and Partials to the mix, they're awesome! And I really enjoyed the entirety of the Across the Universe series, which gets better with each and every book :)
Don't know if anyone here is into zombie apocalypse reads, and I'm normally not, but I've been reading Tracey Ward's books (The Survival and Quarantined series) and they are SO GOOD! I love the characters, and I find myself laughing out loud (and feel like an idiot 'cuz I'm alone! lol) Don't get me wrong, zombies are creepy and there's plenty of creepiness, but these books are so funny and utterly "unputdownable"! (yes, that's a word now, I'm told)
And the sister series:
Anyways, check 'em out.
Ooh, ooh, you're into alien apocs? Okay, you have to check out these two: (I LOVED them, 5 stars)
Yeah, to book nerds, lol. But that's us, and that's all that matters. That's a lot of "thats"... Ugh, I think it's bedtime. :)
Maybe a little. But not "zombie" creepy, so you're good, no worries. G'night :]

yea I may do a repeat of what everyone else said but when k started I read all the ones you did plus the delirium series and the uglies series which was pretty good, def chaos walking and the darkest minds and gone, the selection is awesome, and the maze runner series lol, there are soooo many!

I forgot about Unwind. It's really awesome too.
I really liked unwind, but I couldn't get into the sequal, I may try again though soon
Oh gosh, you've got to read the 2nd and 3rd Unwind books, Alison, they're really worth it!
OK will do, I think i will read them after I get done reading these other books I wanna start, I'll give it another try. thanks!

I can vouch for the Birthmarked series, it's awesome!
I totally agree with Tracy, Birthmarked is AWESOME. I can't believe I haven't read the sequel yet, stupid me!But I've also read the entire Ashfall series, and it's one of my favorite post-apocalyptic series and the author is a really good guy.
Not a Drop to Drink is a pretty good read to, I must say!
Life as We Knew It...well, it's a lot slower than the others on your list and is more literary. I did like it, but not as much as the others you listed. But if you like emotional, powerful, literary works, I think you'll really like it.
David, did you know there are 2 more books after Birthmarked?? All really good!
Yes, I did know that and it's pathetic I haven't read them yet! For some reason I keep forgetting about them but I absolutely LOVED the first book so I've got to read them soon. So glad you enjoyed them too!

Try Article 5 by Kristen Simmons or The Darkest minds by Alexandra Bracken. ^^

Red Rising. Not entirely sure if it's considered Young Adult though. It's fairly violent at some points, but, then again, so is The Hunger Games...

Red Rising is definitely YA. It's YA science fiction/dystopia.I was not too fond of it, but I'm in the minority.
It's definitely different from many others in the genre.
I'm currently reading Perccy jackson & the olympians, which is not a dystopian, but still a series which I need to read (I'm in the 3th book).
Try reading the Partials Trilogy. These books are absolutely amazing, and Im sure you'll enjoy them. These are the kind of books that stay with you long after you've finished reading them.
Red Rising was a really good book in my opinion. I personally would highly recommend reading this book.
the Matched series by Allie Condie is so good!! And the the Starters duo by Lissa Price was really good too. I just finished them both, quick read but good.
Red Rising is my favorite of all. I had so much fun with it. I would highly highly recommend it.
