How about Underland Chronicles? Like the Ember series, it involves people living underground. It's a five book series and the good news for you is all the books are out now so you won't have to wait. It's starts with Gregor the Overlander and all the rest of the books have Gregor in the title.
If you want a series, there's a lot of choices for you. Inkheart, Hermux Tantamoq (though this is for sort of younger kids,) Benjamin Bartholomew Piff, whatever.

I'm reading the Kitty series by Carrie Vaughn and the Sweep Series by Cate Tiernan. Sweep can be found in the young adults section and consists of six books so far, I think. The Kitty series is in the Scifi/Fantasy section and has three books out so far. The Kitty series is about a midnight DJ in Denver who is a werewolf, and she creates this hit radio show called "The Midnight Hour" were other werewolves, vampires, witches and other creatures of the night call in their problems. Well, she did it all by accident and her pack isn't too happy with her actions, and the local vampire family is pretty ticked off too. I can't tell you the definate plot to this series, cuz a new one arises in each book. Kitty always gets into some wierd delimna in every novel. It's a good book, but has some adult situations throughout. Sweep is intended to be kinda "creepy" (though its not really creepy at all. It just takes place in one of those cliche horror movies. Ya know. Sleepy town in New England, surrounded by woods. Has history dating back to Colonial Times. Has one of those odd creepy names by the name of "Widow's Vale". yada yada. ). Anywho, it's about this high school girl named Morgan and she has a pretty cliche average/boring teenage life. She has a dorky best guy friend and a pretty and popular best girl friend, and she kinda in the middle. It all changes when this new guy named Cal moves to Widow's Vale and he decides to invite some people to an outdoor party. They later find out in that he's really witch and that he's trying to form a new coven in this new town. So throughout the book, Morgan learns the culture behind Wicca....and learns some mysterious about her past! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!.... I like the Sweep series. The thing that I like best about it is that it actually gives the reader some insight on Wicca, unlike a certain fantasy book that everyone won't stop mooping about. *cough!*harrypotter!*cough*  Yeah, there are some things in the book that can't really happen in real life (or can it?), but it's a good series overall. Both are fantasy, both are good. So I encourage to look into them. Sorry for the lengthy summaries. Just that the Sweep summary wasn't very good, mainly cuz it didn't really have one. (But that shouldn't stop you from checking it out.  ) |

The Silverwing Series is good too. It's one of my favorites:
Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel
Sunwing (must read)
Firewing (kind of a disappointment to me)
Darkwing (comes out this month, but it's about totally different characters)

Read the 'Shadow Children Series'
Tis really good.
Its about children...any family who has more then two children...the third one has to either die, or go into hiding for their entire life...and if the population poilice find the kid...they'll shoot him in the spot...so its the story of that kid in hiding. His name is Luke. He meets other shadow children, and then goes off to this school where only shadow children go. So yeah....its really REALLY good <3

Definatly Stephanie Meyer's books. The series goes Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn [not yet released], and one more one has yet to be announced.
Vampire love is so intoxicating...
OH. And it's just a two book series as far as I know, Crank and Glass, by Ellen Hopkins. I just got Glass, and I'm almost a quarter of the way through. It's incredible.

Yeah, there are some things in the book that can't really happen in real life (or can it?), but it's a good series overall.
