Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn --- Stephenie Meyer

What can I say? Read these books one right after the other -- just finished the last one and if I was 20 years younger, I would probably read them all over again. As it is now, I'm staring at the other books that I've lined up to read next and thinking (girlishly) "no. no. no. you'll never capture my heart like Edward and Bella have!" I've never been one for romance fiction or vampire fiction (see Anne Rice), but this had me from the beginning; it really is quite ridiculous and I do feel embarrassed about it.

Can't wait to read the next one - wish I was married to a vampire; wish my best friend was a werewolf. Yes, I really did just write that - it's very embarrassing.

Pyres -- Derek Nikitas

Pretty brutal read centering around a teenage girl who's father gets murdered while she's with him in the car (not giving anything away). It's fairly dark for my taste - a little too realistic in terms of the violence and the stupidity that people carry with them. Saying that, I couldn't put it down. Excellent first novel, can't wait to read more by this author.

I feel like it's 1999

Heartsick - Chelsea Cain

Haven't read a serial killer book in a longgg time - why does it feel like a thing of the 90's to me? This book has a winning, plucky heroine of the 00's (a little more wild and street smart than the winning plucky heroine's of the 90's) combined with a pill popping, haunted, aging detective who's come back out of a forced sabbatical to solve a rash of killings.

This sounds like everything you've read before, and maybe it is, but it's a very enjoyable - read in one sitting - page turner. If you like this sort of thing, definitely worth a read.
