Looking for a similar good read.

So here we go for YA:










I love this book so much, I actually give it as gifts. =)

I like books were Werewolves, Vampires, or Angels are kind of the main point of the book and people get pulled into that world. A good balance of romance and action is a must.
I have looked at shiver a few times but being stuck as a human or wolf really does not seem to fit what I like.
Thanks for the replies I and looking into a few of them now.

The Mortal Instruments
The Infernal Devices

If you like fantasy, an you're open to something really "new", consider The Ankhs: Red Marks The Child by Amira Awaad
The story blew me away. It's fresh, different, and totally feeds your hunger for the fantasy/action/drama/romance fix. The writer is an Egyptian woman and her setting is ancient Egypt. It's a little overwhelming when you see through her eyes.
Anyway, it's highly recommended.
Oh! There's also another book out called I,Sun..but I'm not sure yet of the author's name. I hear it's a mustread, also.

I definitely second the Kate Daniels series suggestion, they're one of the best series that have a kickass female protagonist.
I'd say that Guild Hunter from Nalini Singh too it's well written and I love Elena.
This one is a bit different but since it's actually one of my favourites I have to mention it. Spider assassin series by Jennifer Estep, and since you like YA you could check her other series.
Rachel Vincent shifters series is quite good and for YA you have the Soul Screamers.
Morganville vampires, YA from Rachel Caine but she also has "grown up" urban fantasy stories.
And last but not least Alex Craft from Kalayna Price which actually involves fae.
That's all I can remember offhand, I hope it helps!

well, i too like novels with kickass female rocking protagonist, therefore if you like guild hunter, you could try "the throne of glass" too. if you know novels with strong female protagonist please reply.
No one has mentioned the Mercy Thompson. Moon Called is the first book in her series. (She'd the MC.)
There is a "companion" series (i.e. set in the same world) called Alpha and Omega. Alpha & Omega is the short story that starts the series, and you do need to read this short and then Cry Wolf before moving to Mercy #2. There is some over-lap of characters and some of what happens in one set influences what happens in the other set. The time-line for the series--and correct order to read the books in is found at http://www.patriciabriggs.com/books/t....
There is a collection of all the short stories that had been previously published, plus some new ones, that just came out. However, pay attention to the time-line when reading from the book. Unless, like me, you've already read all of both series. (What can I say--I'm more than a bit OCD about the series that I love.) But, if you've been dithering about buying Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson it is well worth the price.
