I like for my books to have some violence and a little romance. For example Maximum Ride (love em!). But it doesnt have to be exactly as described.
**Thanks**

i think you should read the book "twilight" by stephenie meyer. here is an exerpt and summary and please read this whole entire answer otherwise you'll regret it:
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell

The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde

Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
ttyl, ttfn, and l8r g8r by Lauren Myracle

Rebecca by DuMaurier
The Day of the Storm by Pilcher
A Gown of Spanish Lace by Oke
The Locket by Evans
The Shunning by Lewis
Looking for Cassandra Jane by Carlson
Up a Road Slowly by Hunt
Jamaica Inn by DuMaurier
The Blue Bottle Club by Stokes
All are very addictive in my opinion. Not all are considered teen books.

The "Twilight" Series By: Stephanie Meyer
"Once Upon A Marigold" By: Jean Ferris
The "Artemis Fowl" Series By: Eoin Colfer
"If I Should Die Before I Wake" By: Han Nolen
Those are just a few. Go to you're local library and look at the Young Adult section or go to Borders.com or just Borders and look at their Young Adult section.
When in doubt just think about what type of movies you like and then find a book with the same genre.

"That Was Then, This is Now" by S.E. Henton (same author who did The Outsiders). It follows the lives of teenagers in the 60s and shows how times change and people change with them. There's a little romance and a lot of fights, but it's mostly about just growing up,finding yourself and your place in the world and how friendships/relationships grow or grow apart.

Try reading ANYTHING by Jodi Picoult. That is pretty much her strong suit.
