The Heroes of Olympus series, an offshoot of sorts of the Percy Jackson books, is a big fan of the cliffhanger ending. The Son of Neptune (Book 2) left us with a Greek warship from Camp Half-Blood approaching New Rome- the Mark of Athena picks up at that very point. Nothing is every easy for Percy Jackson or any of the other six demi-gods who embark on a quest that takes them through Kansas, Atlanta, and all the way to Rome (yes, the real one) to prevent evil Gaea's rising, save Rome, Greece, and therefore the rest of the world, and try to unite the warring demigods of New Rome and Camp Half-Blood. No pressure. The books are easy to read and fairly fun, if you don't get bogged down by how to pronounce ancient Greek terms and names. And if you don't mind being left with another cliff-hanger ending, not to be resolved for another year.
