Power of five is my favourite, but decided to reread Alex rider series after I realised the new book (scorpia rising) came out :ahee:
Haven't read all of the diamond brothers yet :frown:.

Absolutely the Mortal Instruments <3333
I'd also reckon Kelly Armstrong's books cause they are great! (all of them).
And Pretty Little Liars although that is rather for girls :wink:.
And the Vampire Academy if you like this type of books (mind you: it doesn't resemble to Twilight!)
If you like zombie stories, The Survivors series by Victoria Dreyer is definitely a must read.


if you are interested in France or Europe or Celts/Leylines or Gayness or maybe just great writing then Graham Robb is the man for you:

i have read his latest, The Ancient Paths
and also The Discovery Of France
and have just started Parisians

If you want some strange stuff to read, then do amazon search for Joseph Farrell books. Personally, I read " Financial Vipers of Venice" which gives you history of Venice money-changers, current elite ancestors who are still working in collaboration. But, don't take my word for it. Just pick up the book and read. His other books are even more fascinating I suspect. They will reveal the world you never thought existed. They will force you to think, re-think and question everything which is the most vital thing people need to get back in this world. He gives you all the sources to look up the info for yourself which is what real research is.
