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 49: The Diversion by K. A. Applegate

The Yeerks suspect the Animorphs are human, Tobias has another chance at family. This book changes a lot of the previous status quo, continuing the shift from hiding and secrets to full out battle with the Yeerks.

I like this one, it's a good mix of cautious and sweet, and I'm really happy for Tobias. The updates on the status of the Hork-Bajir colony with regards to Rachel's mom are pretty great. It's also very frantic and scary, especially at the very beginning and very end of the book.
