Well, it's fantasy, but The Bartimaeus Trilogy is mature, because of the themes of oppression, indoctrination and self-discovery, and even more so if you look up on the history of the Middle East and imperial Britain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Hungry Cities Chronicel by Philip Reeve sound stupid, but it's really really good, A Song of Ice and Fire by Gorge R!.R Martin is very good to a little graphic thoughWww@QuestionHome@Com

I second Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle Trilogy!. (A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and The Sweet Far Thing!.)

also, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak!. It's an amazing book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A Great and Terrible Beauty, is a great series, it's not the typical high school book at all I don't think, plus it gets pretty mature!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
