well call me a hipster, but I loved The Hunger Games and Harry Potter, but then it got too famous D: (They are great books though, I just wish there was less romancin')
I'm a huge fan of murder mysteries, and anything by Agatha Christie is a must-read (And Then There Were None is my favorite by far)
I'm in an advanced reading class, and over the summer we have to read Fahrenheit 451. Its really old, but its about a future where books are outlawed (Ironically) and firemen burn houses that have them. Its actually a pretty interesting read.
(Troll mode: On)
If you love a story about Angels, I'll have to suggest the Holy Bible. Its by these dudes that were actually met by angels. (I'm totally kidding. Maximum Ride is an awesome book series. It's not really angels, but its children grafted with avian DNA since their babyhood and now are like 13 year olds with wings. Its really freaking cool) I have a ton of friends that like The Maze Runner series. And two of my friends love Gregor The Overlander series.
 
You may have read some of these already, but I'll throw them out.
UBIK by Philip K Dick (my absolute favourite book, like many other books by the author this is science fiction with a nightmarish, paranoid undertone. if you like it i suggest to continue with Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, or A Scanner Darkly. All his works reeks of cool and unusual ideas)
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (cyberpunk)
The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (like Snow Crash but with steampunk elements)
The Secret Books of Paradys by Tanith Lee (dark fantasy)
Night Watch by Lukjanenko (urban fantasy, forces of dark and light battling in Moscow)
 
I still like the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. That'll help kill a lot of time. Also, The Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher was fun to read. As far as the whole Angels and Demons thing I've only found a few novels pertaining to that (and I've looked a LOT) but the one that sticks out in my head the most is God's Demon by Wayne Barlow. You might want to also pick up Dialogue with the Devil which may be a little out of what you're talking about but I found it an interesting read.
