The Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa
The cast and the depth of character building is really what makes these stories great. Meghan, Ash, Puck and Grimalkin will keep you entertained through many crazy adventures. The romance between Meghan and Ash builds slowly and uncertainly, which in a genre full of insta-love pairings, I appreciated. The series gets a little played out after the 3rd book, but I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the fey.
The Trylle Trilogy by Amanda Hocking
This trilogy was one of the first series I read after I bought my Kindle. The paranormal species in question are trolls, which is a little weird. It's hard to imagine attractive trolls. But the story is unique, well written, and best of all, has an unexpected and happy ending.The series has apparently been optioned for a movie, with the screenplay in the works. I also enjoyed Amanda's other works, including My Blood Approves.

The Celestra Series by Addison Moore
The reviews for these books are pretty harsh. The story revolves around warring factions of angels, each unique in their beliefs and abilities, and of course, one girl caught up in the middle of it. I can't tell you why exactly, but I really enjoyed these books. Okay, so the plot is all over the place and the characters can be annoying. The "dun dun dun!" love triangle gets old quickly, especially after it evolves into a love square. But the twists and turns keep you guessing, and I feel sorry for Skyla, even though she's a bitch, a slut, a crybaby and a murderer. Gage is way too good for her, seriously.
More to come. Happy YA reading!
