The Secret Hour By Scott Westerfeld

City of Bones By Cassandra Clare
YA F CLARE
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray witnesses a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons, the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing--not even a smear of blood--to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. Soon, Clary is pulled into their world when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon.
The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins
YA F COLLINS
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before — and survival, for her, is second nature. (This doesn’t have any supernatural elements but it sure is thrilling!)
