I really liked the Hunger Games. I've had several of my friend who read YA not want to read it. They didn't like the overall concept, but with the movie coming out, they finally read it and LOVED it. Has anyone else read it?
I have not read it for the same reason as your friends, I don't think I will, for me its the whole pitting kids against kids for a bitter survival to the end. Again I have not read the series, I am just going on what I have heard, from others as well as the previews I have seen.
I loved the Immortals series by Alyson Noel. She's starting a new series called The Soul Seekers that sounds awesome!
Mortal Instruments is excellent: I also loved The Hunger Games. The Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness is excellent. It doesn't seem to be well known in the US but it's won lots of prizes in the UK and every teeenager I have handed it to has loved it. Its a dystopian novel and very interstingly written -other than that you will have to read it as the first 50 pages create a strong impression and I don't want to creat a spoiler.

Also guys if there is a series you would like to really chat about please feel free to add it as a topic...I would be here forever if i had to add each series by myself lol. So i have added a few to get us started but yeah, any series you love just add away :)
While not a great series, the Intertwined books by Gena Showalter are good, comic-book style fun. And the fourth volume is stuck in development hell. Grrr... >_<
I'm really enjoying Rachel Vincents Soul Screamers series


I like them because they are not too young!

I'm enjoying the Escape from Furnace Series by Alexander Gordon Smith. It's one of those series that you can't stop thinking about. A Dark, tragic, and horrifying story of a teenager who's charged with murdering his best friend and is sentenced for life without parole to one of the sickest and twisted juvenile facilities on earth. Hundreds of feet deep in the earth's crust, this prison is probably the closest thing to meeting the Devil.
My newest obsession is the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I also love her Covenent series but I'm seriously dying waiting for August when Onyx comes out.

Have you read Shadows? If not do so! I actually read it before I read Obsidian but I know you're supposed to read it after. It was great too!!

Still my favorite so far.
Its got to of be Infernal Devices/Mortal Instruments for me . . .Clare just has a way of writing in which I can totally loose myself . . .I would have said House of Night series but the character of Zoey has just become too insipid :-(
My favorite YA series is one that doesn't seem to get much publicity - Lili St. Crow's Strange Angels.
These are great! Harry Potter speaks for itself. Infernal Devices/Mortal Instruments are one of my favorites. I've met Cassandra Clare once; she really takes her time to answer questions for her readers. If she comes back to my town (which she usually does at least once a year) I'll have to get her newest two books signed. As for House of Night series, I liked the beginning books. The series turned for me when the authors changed their format in writing. I still like it but it's not top on my list any more. And Susan, I've read Strange Angel. I think it's a series right? I haven't read any sequel books but that's from lack of time. I enjoyed Lili St. Crow's book.

Strange Angels is a five book series that stands out for me because it's well written and very different from the other vampire series that are popular right now.I agree on Soul Screamers - love that series!
I, as many, loved The Hunger Games trilogy and of course Harry Potter was a favorite also. A couple that I also enjoyed was from James Patterson, which was the Maximum Ride series and the Witch & Wizard series, though I haven't read the third book yet.
I have discovered Tamara Rose Blodgett's Death Series. They are a little bit different but really good reads.
Jane Yolen's Pit Dragon Chronicles were among my favorites when I was a kid.
As an adult, I am an admitted Harry Potter fan. :-D

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven't quite finished Onyx yet. I knew I should have taken a sick day but at least it's Friday and I can finish it tonight. It's awesome so far!

Ahhh . . .enjoy Sharon!!! I haven't read the Covenant series yet so I think I might give that one a try . . I'm having Daemon withdrawal though LOL!!!!
Hey guys... I’m happy to be a part of this group. Like you I was eternally trying to find a good horror, but was stumped by relentless remakes... I have written something that as horror fans you may enjoy. Often on promotion. Check out if you’d like something new to read 😊.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B088...
