This is really hard to decide because I love a lot of books,...
The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare
The Mageri series by Dannika Dark
The Velesi series by L. Filloon
The Sweet series by Wendy Higgins
I'm sorry that they are all series and not stand alone books, its just that I tend to read more series than stand alone books and because I love the series so much, its just way to hard to pick just one of the books out of the series.

Of Things Gone Astray
Cell
Cinder (Lunar Chronicles)
The House We Grew up in
An Hour in Darkness

Though I'm more prone to favourite books of recent than overall because that's too hard.
