  Are you an Alex Cross fan ? Are you like me and read your way through all of James Patterson's novels ? Get ready for Book #20 - Alex Cross, Run.   Review: Alex Cross Run - Book #20 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - February 2013 You know when you have read a series and there are quite a few books and you start to think that the author must be coming near the end of the series as they are beginning to feel tired ? I have to say that James Patterson's Alex Cross series does not fall into that category as each one still keeps the readers on their toes.  I do have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Alex Cross Run as the last couple of books in his Alex Cross series have been a tad blah and a bit confusing with the whole multiple killings scenarios and half a dozen killers at the same time. Alex Cross Run was one of the best ones of the Alex Cross series I have read in a while and felt like his earlier works despite containing more than one murder plot. ...

Before there was the Disney Hit movie "Geek Charming" , there was a book written with the same title by Robin Palmer and today readers, that book is featured on The Phantom Paragrapher.  Review: Geek Charming - Robin Palmer - February 2009  Are you a fan of the Cinderella tale ? Out of all the fairytales does Cinderella ring favourite for you ? I have always been a Cinderella girl and I also love renditions of classics and fairytales , so when I saw this book I just knew I had to read it.

  Have you noticed that lately there has been an influx of Rock N Roll Literature ? Are you a fan of Demons, Rock and Roll and Teen Fiction ? Check out a new Teen Indie Author "Tawny Stokes" and her mix of Rock N Roll and Demons. Review: Static - Tawny Stokes - August 2011 When I saw the cover of this novel I wasn't too sure what to expect, I just knew that it would have something to do with music and Rock N Roll hence the girl in the tartan skirt holding an awesome red and white electric guitar, but that was as far as I had gotten. As readers know I am a cover lover and that was the reason I purchased this book as I loved the look of the cover and thought to myself hmmm --- that could be a book I am interested in. Static took me surprisingly not only into the world of Rock N Roll and Music , Backstage parties which I kind of expected but into a world where this novel would turn more into fantasy supernatural rather than a reality type teen angst novel....

    Have you been reading the Chemical Garden Trilogy by Lauren DeStefano ? Been waiting in anticipation to read the third book ? Today Reader's on The Phantom Paragrapher, I bring you the book we have all been waiting for. Review: Sever - Book #3 The Chemical Garden Trilogy - Lauren DeStefano - February 2013 I guess since the cover is green , it makes sense to write the review in Green. You know that feeling you get when you know that you are reading the last book in a series - the feeling of being torn because you hope that it will finish the way you want and also that nervousness feeling when you crack open the book or in my case when I push the read button on my ipad. That's what I felt like when I read Sever , it was like it was severing my feelings of the characters and coming to a close of the series. I wondered why they called it this and have a couple of options - is it because she severed her leg at the end of Fever whilst in a state of delirium a...

For me , one of those authors is Melody Carlson. Ever since I read her book "Finding Alice" at 16 , I fell in love with her writing and since then plowed my way through her numerous series. So it was just natural, that when I saw she had a new series out that I purchase the book to read. Her new series takes us to the world of Kingston High,and in Book #1 we meet Chelsea, ever since her mum died when she was eleven. It has been her and her dad, and in a way she has referred herself to being like Dracula - afraid of mirrors as she views herself as a wallflower - a plain, ugly and unattractive on th...
