Twilight (Twilight Saga)
1.  Twilight (Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer

Breaking Dawn (Twilight Saga)

4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (88 customer reviews)

Lunar Park
8.  Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis
The list author says:
  "Dare I say it, this is my favourite Bret Easton Ellis novel!  You need to read the others to fully appreciate this, but it's worth it.  Brilliant, page turning stuff."

Let the Right One In
9.  Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
The list author says:

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (133 customer reviews)

After Dark
10.  After Dark by Haruki Murakami

3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (57 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Kill Your Friends
11.  Kill Your Friends by John Niven
The list author says:
  "This book is terrible!!  It's like someone with not much writing skill has read American Psycho and thought 'I can do that' but based in London in 1997 with A&R men.  Yuk."
Used & New from: £1.27
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (76 customer reviews)

Never Let Me Go
12.  Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky (Vintage Classics)
13.  Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky (Vintage Classics) by Patrick Hamilton

Live Flesh
16.  Live Flesh by Ruth Rendell
The list author says:
  "I've never read any Ruth Rendell before, but really enjoyed this.  Not the murder-mystery I was expecting, more of a pschoanalysis, leading into a gripping tale that turns really, really bad."

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

World War Z
17.  World War Z by Max Brooks

Marked: House of Night: Book 01
21.  Marked: House of Night: Book 01 by Kristin Cast

£4.05   Used & New from: £0.01
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (110 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Betrayed: House of Night: Book 02

£4.55   Used & New from: £0.01

Untamed (House of Night)
25.  Untamed (House of Night) by P.C. Cast
