I’ve already read books like the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Twilight, Vampire Academy, books like that. I haven’t read in awhile and I used to all the time! What’s the point of having a Kindle if I don’t use it right? I’m really looking for a romance novel, series actually. But something that also has some action, something that will keep me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Anyone know of any teen fictions that are like this? Even just romance will do! Thanks!

Try Nokosee: Rise of the New Seminole and its sequel Nokosee & Stormy: Love & Bullets. Both are contemporary “pre-dystopian” books where the world is on the tipping point of environmental collapse written from a 17-year-old girl’s POV. They come with lots of action and adventure and Stormy Jones, the girl in the stories, is a tsundere character (as is Nokosee) that will stick with you for a long time. She’s far from perfect but she’s real enough to want to love her and pull for her during her life on the run with Nokosee.
Crazy Dangerous by Andrew Klavan. This fast-paced thriller concerns two disparate friends. Sam Hopkins is a pastor’s kid with a rebellious streak. Jennifer, his classmate, suffers from visions of demons and voices in her head. When Jennifer warns Sam about an impending massacre, he must choose whether to believe his disturbed friend or not—at the risk (if she is correct and he does nothing) of allowing hundreds to die. Early on in the book, Sam is moved by a Latin phrase he finds on a small statue of an angel: recte age nil time. That is, do right; fear nothing. This is the dubious, flickering star that guides Sam’s path—and provides the central tension of Klavan’s novel. There doesn’t seem to be anything Sam won’t do in attempting to do right—whether that is starting fights, trespassing, stealing cars, or evading the police. Review from Image.
13 Reasons Why, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, The Future Of Us, Teen Idol, & Avalon High. All of these books have faint romantic parts to them, but it’s especially in the last 2. They don’t really have any action to them, although 13 Reasons Why has a bit of suspense almost. Hope this helps. & I love The Hunger Games series as well! 🙂
You should check out Divergent by Veronica Roth. There’s quite a bit of action and some romance. And then maybe The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Also a lot of action and romance. The last suggestion i have is Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Not that much romance, but still really good. Hope I helped 🙂
Action and romance: try “Catching On Fire” by Sue Knott…second in this series supposed to come out this year
Stricctly edge of your seat: “Congo” by Michael Crichton…if you like this, he’s written others
i suggest “Crime and Punishment” by Dostoevsky – it has action, murder, suspense and romance. it will make u use your brains as well while u re reading and afterwards. the ultimate best book ever written
The Kite Runner – amazing book- The absolute true diarys of a partime indian- easy read and funny- The perks of being a walflower- independent cool story- and fast food nation
This is a good book I loved when I was a teen. It’s got the fiction edge but is still serious. Not romantic though but way good! It’s called A Door Near Here – Cynthia quail I think. Definitely check it out.
