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...

Animorphs Book 35: The Proposal by K. A. Applegate

Marco is stressed out of his mind and it's affecting his morphs. His entire life is nightmare fuel and the nightmares are getting worse. This mission was interesting, simultaneously ridiculous in execution but very high-stakes.

Books like this one make me wonder about morphing technology. It's too bad that they (so far) can't be stressed-out in a controlled manner to create useful chimeras, but I suppose being very controlled can also produce this, like Cassie's mid-air morph in #34, The Prophecy.
