Re: Post Apocalyptic books, any recomendations?
This book is very scary and real. It sucks you in. And of course there are angels, which makes the novel even more intriguing. I definitely recommend this book. It's a good quick read.

I also really enjoyed the Love and Decay young adult series. The storyline was fantastic, but the grammar was atrocious! If you can get past that, then I highly reccommend it!

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Also, if you're a sci-fi fan, check out Portal by Rob Swigart. It was first published as an interactive novel for the now-obsolete Commodore Amiga, but quickly found its way into plain old novel form. Its "apocalypse" isn't a ground-rending, war-tearing series of disasters, but rather the sudden disappearance of every human being on the planet. The protagonist, a lone astronaut who arrives back on the earth after the vanishings, is left to figure it out with the help of some quirky artificial intelligence systems. The book is a unique and at times mind-bending read - not your typical "disaster-movie" novel by any stretch of the imagination.

The Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver is really intense. It is a very hard book to describe without ruining it, but it is rather sappy in parts.
Margaret Peterson Haddix is really creepy, but she likes to take taboos and thrust them into the light. The Shadow children is probably the best of these, I loved it. If people could only have 2 children on pain of death, what would happen if they had 3?
I just read Black Feathers and The Book of the Crowman by Joseph D' Lacey and that was very unique in that you really didn't know where it was going till the last chapter. But the descriptions are really good.
Wild Cards by the kicker teem of sci-phi writers, including George R. R. Martin is super good, although there are tons of books and a lot of characters!
Alan Dean Foster has a glorious group of books called The Tipping Point trilogy about Mexico in a few years. It is not really a typical Hunger Games book, but still, is what you asked for...
The Maze Runner of coarse is also really good, if that is your thing.
The Selection by Kiera Cass is like Delirium, but has a little more of a hunger games feel with people being chosen as the princess through a set of challenges.
Of coarse you also have the Giver, that is a pretty emotional book that just had a movie come out.
Nancy Farmer has several series like The Ear, the Eye and the Arm but more importantly, The House of the Scorpion. It is about a drug cartel who makes a clone of himself and it is about that clone's life.
These are the ones that just popped into my head, I will see if any more strike me later on.
