A paranormal fantasy series that’s 6 books long, The Mortal Instruments is the introduction into the infamous world of Shadowhunters – an enhanced race of humans that rid their world of demons. The series is extended enough to delve into for a long period, and conveniently has a spin-off prequel series (The Infernal Devices), a sequel series (The Dark Artifices), and a brand new TV show (Shadowhunters) if you didn’t get enough of the first 6 books.

With 3 books, the series begins following a girl named Grace who encounters a boy who remains human in the summer, but becomes a wolf in the winter.

4. Maximum Ride by James Patterson

Maximum Ride by James Patterson (Headline)

Definitely a lengthy series of 9 books, but totally worth the read. Maximum Ride is the story of a girl called Max who, along with 5 other teenagers, is a winged human hybrid with extraordinary abilities. Her and her friends are on the run from an unknown group that finds an interest in hunting them down. Buy some of the box sets here.

5. House of Night by P.C. Cast & Kristen Cast

House of Night covers by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast (Little Brown)

I’ve saved the longest for last! This series is a pretty prolonged commitment, but it’s got 2 authors, which means double the awesomeness. House of Night is 12 books long and similarly mirrors the idea behind Vampire Academy. Both stories, which were first published in 2007, center around a boarding school for vamps, but with the House of Night series, it’s a little different. To her surprise, the main character Zoey is Marked with a crescent moon and whisked away to attend a school known as the House of Night where teen vampyres (yes, with a “y”) train to become adult vampyres. What’s so special about Zoey is she’s been Marked by the Goddess Nyx. Buy some of the box sets here.
