Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
If you like Twilight, you better put this book on your list of read alikes. It has much the same romantic tension combined with mythological creatures that makes Twilight hard to put down.
Grace and Sam are two young people in love, only Sam is not your ordinary boy. For Sam the coming winter and cold temperatures mean a return to his wolfish form. Summer and warmth allow Sam to be human for a short time each year. That’s how Sam and Grace have known each other for a long time, from a distance, as wolf and girl. Now, unexpected events put them face to face in human form and their desperate love for each other can’t be denied. So Sam and Grace are in a fight to keep Sam warm and a fight to imagine any sort of future together. Is it possible? Or will the inevitable happen and Sam will become a wolf forever?
After living on the run for two years, Rose and Lissa are captured and returned to Vampire Academy where they are suppposed to be students. Lissa is a Moroi, or a mortal vampire, and Rose is a dhampir, a mix of human and vampire. Rose’s role as a guardian means her life is dedicated to protecting the Moroi from the very dangerous Strigoi. The Strigoi are ruthless, immortal vampires who love Moroi blood. 
If you read the Hunger Games, you will definitely want to read this sequel. In the last book, Katniss defied the Capitol by saving not only herself from the Hunger Games but her fellow tribute, Peeta. There is only supposed to be one survivor of the Hunger Games, but Katniss and Peeta beat the odds. The act that saved them has had unintended consequences however, and now there are rumblings of rebellion in the other districts in Panem. Back in District 12, Katniss should be happy because as a winner everything is provided for her and her family, but she isn’t. Her best friend Gale keeps her at a distance and Peeta doesn’t talk to her much either. When President Snow comes to visit before Katniss’ and Peeta’s victory tour, he makes it clear that it is up to Katniss and Peeta to diffuse the idea that they were trying to spark a rebellion. But Katniss has never had fond feelings toward President Snow or the Capitol and begins to think that maybe an uprising wouldn’t be such a bad thing. If you liked the action in the Hunger Games, you won’t be disappointed as Catching Fire has the significant 75th Hunger Games. And if you’re like me, when you finish you will be hungering for the next installment.
