Well I assume you just used Mortal Instruments as an example because i read a lot of YA and i know no one else like that heroine. And i never thought there was something wrong with Clary she was always outspoken to me but that's what makes a good heroine, at least shes not a Mary sue. The things a novel should have is a good plot: The Infernal Devices and the mortal instruments both have the same amazing story world, the hunger games has a deep riveting plot that makes you think when you finish reading, and a strong outspoken heroine: the Mortal Instruments has this, though since the Infernal Devices is set in Victorian times the heroine is at most times a very proper young women, and since you judge pretty harshly i'm not sure how you would react to the hunger games heroine though i think she was a perfect heroine. a series you should stay away from is house of night by p.c cast, its heroine is a shallow, slutty, immature teen that like 4 guys cant help fall in love with.

above answers are good lists, but I've just 2 to add that are well worth the read.
someone mentioned Da Vinci Code and Deception Point by Dan Brown, but the The Magic Circle is sooo much better.
The Eight by Katherine Neville

Oh, you should definitely read some books by Edgar Allen Poe. They're stuffed with mystery, horror, and drama.

For mystery/murder read anything by lisa jackson! She is fantastic. I have read "Twice Kissed", "Fatal Burn", "Deep Freeze", and "Shiver". Also "Crank" and "Burned" are very good as well.. but I forget the author of the last two, but Im sure someone at the store could help you. Hope that helps!

Da Vinci Code and Deception Point by Dan Brown.
House and Skin by Ted Dekker.
Every female should also read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers... it will teach you a lot about men and about being a woman.

Selma Eichler and Joanne Pence are good mystery authors.

The "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon was my favorite. For a another choice, I'd pick 'The Winner' by David Baldacci, this one is very good and has all good qualities.

For a classic horror story, read Bram Stoker's "Dracula" - it's my personal favourite.
