[Goodreads | Amazon] Embrace (The Violet Eden Chapters, #1) Author: Jessica Shirvington Publication Date: 3/6/12 Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire It starts with a whisper: “It’s time for you to know who you are…” Violet Eden dreads her seventeenth birthday. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. As if that wasn’t enough, disturbing dreams haunt her sleep and leave her with very real injuries. There’s a dark tattoo weaving its way up her arms that wasn’t there before. Violet is determined to get some answers, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. The guy she thought she could fall in love with has been keeping his identity a secret: he’s only half-human—oh, and same goes for her. A centuries-old battle between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity has chosen its new warrior. It’s a fight Violet doesn’t want, but she lives her life by two rules: don’t run and don’t quit. When angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden… | [Goodreads | Amazon] Illuminate (Gilded Wings, #1) Author: Aimee Agresti Publication Date: 3/6/12 Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books Haven Terra is a brainy, shy high school outcast. But everything begins to change when she turns sixteen. Along with her best friend Dante and their quiet and brilliant classmate Lance, she is awarded a prestigious internship in the big city— Chicago—and is sent to live and work at a swanky and stylish hotel under the watchful eyes of a group of gorgeous and shockingly young-looking strangers: powerful and alluring hotel owner Aurelia Brown; her second-in-command, the dashing Lucian Grove; and their stunning but aloof staff of glamazons called The Outfit. As Haven begins falling for Lucian, she discovers that these beautiful people are not quite what they seem. With the help of a mysterious book, she uncovers a network of secret passageways from the hotel’s jazz-age past that leads her to the heart of the evil agenda of Aurelia and company: they’re in the business of buying souls. Will they succeed in wooing Haven to join them in their recruitment efforts, or will she be able to thwart this devilish set’s plans to take the souls of her classmates on prom night at the hotel? |

It's a definite tie between Angelfall and Hallowed. I read both within the last couple months and they were both fantastic in their own ways.

My favorite paranormal book has to be Tempest Rising. I have a weakness for mermaids, and that was a fantastic mermaid book!

I have too many favorites to name. But I really like Unearthly and Born at Midnight. Two very good YA Paranormal novels.

Yikes, My favorite? Aggggh! Let me think...How about favoriteish? I guess I'm gonna go with the FEVER series by KMM. I mean, I have a serious love/HATE relationship with those books. The whole series pissed me off, but I can't stop recommending it to everyone. I blame Barrons. LOL

This is such a hard question! I am not one to choose favorites. Off the top of my head, though, I'd say it's between Hush, Hush and the Mortal Instruments!

Ugh!! That's such a stumper b/c it's always what you're reading right now, right?!?! I'll go the adult route b/c that's what I've been reading longer: I love Kim Harrison's Hollow series & Gena Showalter's LOTU. I have Angelfall waiting for me but at this point I love Soul Screamers and Angelfire series' equally in YA.
