So guys I need a good trilogy to read, and I mean one that you have to read all three books... not stand alone series.

Can I recommend Nine Minutes? Lol. I'm trying to think of one! Someone told me is really good. But I don't know if it's what you're looking for or not. I'm going to start it next week, I think. But it's also longer than 3 books.
