Hunter (Hunter, Bk. 1) by Mercedes Lackey

In a world overrun by monsters and things known as "Othersiders," some kids are given the gift of being "Hunters." The job of Hunters is to protect regular citizens from these monsters. After Joyeaux Charmand is called by her Prefect Uncle to the city of Apex, a place where the best Hunters go to protect the city, she must find her way after an act of sabotage is carried out. I strongly recommend this book; I never thought I could put down. It gets exciting right when you think it is about to start calming down, and it is a great read for anyone who enjoys fantasy. You would like this book if you like books about fantasy or magic such as Harry Potter or books about science fiction like Divergent.
