This sounds fun and I'll be done exams in a couple of weeks so something to read may be nice.

@Tricia Check out GRACELING by Kristin Cashore! :) It's been a while since I've read it, but I'm almost positive it has magical creatures as well. I would recommend the MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series to you, but that has a lot of romance in it, especially in the later books. :P
