Hunter, book 1 of the Hunter series by Mercedes Lackey
They came after the Diseray. Some were terrors ripped from our collective imaginations, remnants of every mythology across the world. And some were like nothing anyone had ever dreamed up, even in their worst nightmares.
Monsters.
Long ago, the barriers between our world and the Otherworld were ripped open, and it's taken centuries to bring back civilization in the wake of the catastrophe. Now, the luckiest Cits live in enclosed communities,behind walls that keep them safe from the hideous creatures fighting to break through. Others are not so lucky.
To Joyeaux Charmand, who has been a Hunter in her tight-knit mountain community since she was a child, every Cit without magic deserves her protection from dangerous Othersiders. Then she is called to Apex City, where the best Hunters are kept to protect the most important people.
Joy soon realizes that the city's powerful leaders care more about luring Cits into a false sense of security than protecting them. More and more monsters are getting through the barriers,and the close calls are becoming too frequent to ignore. Yet the Cits have no sense of how much danger they're in-to them, Joy and her corp of fellow Hunters are just action stars they watch on TV.
When an act of sabotage against Joy takes an unbearable toll, Joy uncovers a terrifying conspiracy in the city. There is something much worse than the usual monsters infiltrating Apex. And it may be too late to stop them.
Firewalker, book 2 of The Worldwalker Trilogy by Josephine Angelini
Lily is back in her own
universe, and she's ready to relax with Rowan. True, she almost died in
the Pyre that fueled their escape, and must hide her magic for the
safety of the world, but compared to fighting the monstrous Woven and
leading armies in the alternate Salem, life is looking good.
You think I'm a monster, but my choices, as ruthless as they seem, are justified.
Unfortunately,
Lillian, ruthless ruler of the 13 Cities, is not willing to let Lily go
that easily. If she can't persuade Lily to return to her world, she'll
have to find a way to make her come back.
The Fate of Ten, book 6 of the Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore
The Garde are no longer fighting the Mogs in secret...because the
invasion has begun. John is on the front lines in New York City. And
just as the odds seem stacked against him, his best friend, Sam, a
human, inexplicably develops a Legacy—and Sam isn't the only one. While
the pair try to track down Five and Nine amid the chaos, they encounter
another teen who can wield abilities that were once only meant for the
Garde. Whether she is a friend or a foe, however, remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, Six, Marina, and Adam are trapped in Mexico. They fought their way into the Sanctuary and were able to awaken the power hidden within, but their preceding battle has left them without any way to reach the others. The Mogs are returning in fullforce, and it will take a miracle to escape.
The Garde are stretched thin, fighting this war on many fronts. The only chance they have is to take out the Mogadorian leader once and for all—but his fate is now irrevocably tied with Ella's. They can't destroy one without the other. But if the Garde can't find another way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Loric: annihilation.
