The Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean

Each generation, a competition is held to find the next empress of Honoku. The rules are simple. Survive the palace's enchanted seasonal rooms. Conquer Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Marry the prince. All are eligible to compete--all except yokai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy. Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. Winning should be easy. And it would be, if she weren't hiding a dangerous secret. Mari is a yokai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. If discovered, her life will be forfeit. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari's fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-yokai outcast. Torn between duty and love, loyalty and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness, the choices of Mari, Taro, and Akira will decide the fate of Honoku in this beautifully written, edge-of-your-seat YA...

‪Deadline by Mira Grant, aka Seanan McGuire (Newsflesh, #2)

‪Deadline is dark and grim and wonderful. A great sequel to Feed, it feels a bit like a heist or a spy thriller, but it is a book of mourning, loss, and deep wells of pain. Welcome to After The End Times: the worst monsters are human.

This book is very hard to discuss without spoiling Feed. To me, the solution is clear. If you have ever liked a zombie book: read this series. If you like political thrillers that get a bit spy/detective as the series moves on: read this series. If you like post-apocalyptic novels: read this series.

CW for violence, mental illness, gore, death.
