Tower of Bones
Heart Search- Lost - ok this one is mine but everyone who's read it thinks it's awesome :-)


message 9: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Daniel Many great books. I'm excited to get my hands on a few.

I've also just added my book titled 'Finding Your Road to Success' which was recently mentioned in an article written by Forbes (article is titled Why Some Entrepreneurs Undermine Their Own Success).

My book is currently very lonely sitting somewhere towards the end of the list. Let's all vote for 'Finding Your Road to Success' so we can bump it up on the list.

message 20: by Sandy (new)

Sandy Donor 23 is really a great book! This is Cate Campbell's first book and she really did a great job! It should be read and enjoyed by many!

Mariel Maughan May I suggest Paramerion by M. Topping.


message 23: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Stafford I'd like to add my novel to the list as well.
The Handmaiden of Death by Sarah Stafford


message 24: by Carol (new)

Carol Cañete Angelfall is one of the best books I've ever encountered! Everyone needs to read it! :)


message 25: by A.H. (new)

A.H. Alwagdani Here! You may like this new fantasy I wrote:
The Kuos I: Cold Desolation


message 26: by Shaylene (new)

Shaylene i have to disagree with angelfall being the 1st, while it was good, i sorta liked it and it was good, i found it dry and sometimes cheesy. sorry to anyone who really liked it. though I have to say that the immortal rules was amazing because it was not ur cliche vampire novel especially the protagonist who is Japanese, which i really like since (sorry if i offend anyone) but its always a caucasian MC. Though these days, it has gotten better with diversity. Anyway...the immortal rules does not get a lot of credit but i loved it! Anfd I hope people will read it too:)


message 27: by Richard (new)

Richard Tabaka The Autumn ManExceptional story! Eric Ian Steele is brilliant! One of the finest new writer's of the 21st century.


message 28: by Clint (new)

Clint Wastling Tyrants Rex

I'd like to add my novel, Tyrants Rex to the list. What will happen to Mycul Zas and the genetically modified humans called mordonts?


message 29: by Dawn (new)

Dawn I will add some to my tbr. Check out Nocturnal Meetings if you like coming of age suspense. I can't stop thinking about this one.


message 30: by Ginny (new)

Ginny Horn-Horn by ADT McLellan - one of those few books that you will go from the last page immediately back to the first page. Like The Sixth Sense, reading it a second time is like reading it for the first time again. It's a completely different story once all of the twists are revealed.


message 31: by Joseph (new)

Joseph Jr. The Cycle by Joseph DuRand Jr. is a horror novel that opens readers to a world haunted by wisps, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and zombies. These sinister creatures manifest themselves in different locations and time periods, often feed on humans, and destroy everything in their wake.

message 36: by Veronica (new)

Veronica A Prophecy of Dawn I cant be the only one that thinks this is amazing!!


message 37: by Melissa (new)


message 38: by Kelley (new)

Kelley Leigh Hammond The Handmaiden of Death Book One of The Dark Angel Trilogy by Sarah Stafford A great little trilogy!


message 39: by David (new)

David Washburn Devils That Prey.
It's my first work, but would love it if I could see it on lists like this.
It is getting all good reviews so far to, and plenty of unbiased ones which is especially exciting to me. Devils That Prey
