I just finished reading Twilight for the second time and I have been trying to find a book that can compete with it and I am having no luck whatsoever. I'm into the romance books but I don't like the cheesy romance that alot of books that I've come across consist of. I really want to find a good romance book!! Any suggestions?

You could try A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray or The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause
House of Night series by P.C. & Kristin Cast (Marked, Betrayed, and Chosen so far)
Vampire Academy books by Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy and Frostbite out so far)
Tithe, Valiant, and Ironside by Holly Black
Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare (City of Bones and City of Ashes so far)
the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine (Glass Houses, The Dead Girls’ Dance, Midnight Alley, and Feast of Fools so far)
Oh, The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor is a really good book, especially if you like Alice in Wonderland.
The Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce (or anything by her) was a really good (and a really fast) read.
The Lost Years of Merlin by T. A. Barron was a good series but the first book was good on it’s own, too. (The romance doesn’t come until a few books in and it’s not in your face, it’s subtle)
Faerie Wars, Purple Emperor, Ruler of the Realm and Faerie Lord by Herbie Brennan are good too. I really enjoyed them.
There’s always the Artemis Fowl books too, those are fun but there’s not much romance.
*shrug* Hope you like at least one of them :/
I agree with Jessica. ‘A Great and Terrible Beauty’ by Libbra Bray is one of the best books I’ve ever read. (I’m 16). it’s actually part of a trilogy. The other ones are ‘Rebel Angels’ and ‘The Sweet Far Thing’. Gemma Doyle (main character) is my hero and I love this series and will recommend it to anyone, I’ve told my friends and they’ve read them and have gotten as addicted as I have. The books are long, but they do not seem that way once you get started.
a lot of these books are about vampires. they are ver good books. im sorry if books you have already read are on here. its a big list an hard to take off things like twilight because most ppl have read the series. i hope this helps!

The Host, also by Stephenie Meyer seems good, although I’m not finished (okay, I’m only on the first chapter!) lol
“TTFN”, “TTYL” and “L8R G8R” were good, if you can read the books like that. Also Avalon High was good :) Oh yeah, Click Here was really good too !!!!!!
For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot’s young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.
If you want more info or the authors website’s email me.
