Only dabbled in YA? Heck, I live off the stuff XD As such, I doubt you'd be interested in a heap of the books I have to offer. However:


 * The Chaos Walking series - This series gets such mixed reviews, but I love it. It's morally confronting and written so interestingly (there's limited punctuation and the grammar of the characters is off etc.) and I got to the end and was just so happy I read through it all. Plus, it was never cliche I found, and everything was so raw and real. It's not so much YA, but it's awesome :)
 * The Study series - One of the first YA series I ever loved. It's typical YA... Chick, powers, nice guy, plots and stuff, but I love the characters and it was a great series ^__^ I even met the author once when she travelled Aus :D
 * The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series - Very interesting. It's everything fantasy YA should be but isn't. Basically, the characters are believable and aren't cookie-cutter YA fems and guys that are typical in this genre no thanks to Twilight >__> The final book comes out soon :)
 * Anna Dressed in Blood - This book is the only book that has ever truly creeped me out XD I love the main character (it's a guy for once! Hooray) and he's written very well and very... just... I dunno, just very real XD I loved this book and the sequel wrapped everything up nicely.

These 4 are the ones I'd recommend if you want something to read, but if you're more into heavy fantasy than YA fantasy they might not be for you. I'm currently reading this awesome heavy fantasy (no YA) series you might like, but I'm only through 2 books of 5(?) so I have no opinion yet :/
