Again, just off the top of my head...
I'd say to definitly avoid Evermore if you're hunting for paranormal books...
But The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare is absolutely brilliant. (The first book is City of Bones). Not only are they absolutely hilarious- mostly thanks to one sarcastic character who loves to add in his two cents- they're also romantic and full of action. In my opinion, the best combo ever.
Or you could try Clockwork Angel by the same author. It's the first book in The Infernal Devices trilogy, a prequel to TMI. It's leaning more towards the steampunk side of things, but it's still got some definite paranormal notes.
Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr is another great one. And, though I haven't read it yet, Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is supposed to be great.
These are some great suggestions! Megan, be sure to read Beautiful Creatures--it is very good *and* has a helpful librarian character. I'd also recommend White Cat by Holly Black.
