I love how Ally Carter is at the top of the list, I got all her books! (I gave some to a friend who likes her too though...Heist Society and the first book of her series)
God I wish I have all these books.
I have so many books that fit in this category -- most of which are series -- that I only voted for the first book in each series. The rest are all good too, though!
These books are not YA books & should be removed:
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation (Pink Carnation, #1) - Lauren Willig - non-YA, Historical Romance

Casino Royale (James Bond, #1) - Ian Fleming
The Beekeeper's Apprentice (Mary Russell, #1)- Laurie R. King
The Backup Asset - Leslie Wolfe (Military/Espionage thriller, not YA)
Tender Obsession - Steven Todd Fisher
The Matarese Circle - Robert Ludlum (Military/Espionage thriller, not YA)
Dangerous Kiss (Lucky Santangelo, #5) - Jackie Collins

I LOVE Ruby Redfort!!!!!!!!
I LOVE Ruby Redfort!!!!!!!!
Ally Carter is the most amazing writer, after I have read the first sentence in the books it's like I'm Cammie, it's just so detailed that I cann't stop wishing that there is a mansion that has been turned into a school for girl spy's in training.
Love every one of Ally Carter's books (especially Gallagher Girls), Alex Rider series, and The Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. The amount of books on this list I have read and loved is unbelievable!!
The Cherub series is really good. I wish it were rated higher. I read both the Cherub series and Alex Rider, and I have to say I enjoyed Cherub more.
