Maybe I should write about zombie angels? Angel zombies? If I were a writer, that is. Which I am not. But if you've somehow stumbled across this post, and you are a YA writer, consider those angelic brain-eating characters as something new to try.
So what are some great zombie books? Daniel Waters's Generation Dead titles, of course. And others have popped up, by Stacey Jay and more. As for angles, I believe a new entity called Tinderbox just sold a new series Fallen for a goodly amount of money. They created it themselves and hired an author to write it. What other angels are out there? Cassandra Clare's nephilim, those beautiful and intriguing Shadowhunters. Who else? Lili St. Crow makes use of the idea with the title Strange Angels, though her heroine isn't one. I'm sure there are others and I'm sure we'll see more.
What do YOU think the next trend is?
