Comments from Readers:
A young adult title that may not be suitable for younger teenagers
Very sharp and clever, ties in very well with the philosophy of the character (Gene Hunt) and feels like it’s right from the 70s

Jinx By Meg Cabot

Jinx is one of those books that the minute you pick it up, you just can't put it down. At first I thought it was going to be boring because the first chapter isn't all that exciting but when you read it further and further, you realise it can only get better!!!! x

Silence of the Lambs
Silence of the Lambs By Thomas Harris

Comments from Readers:
This book was the first to be written in a series of Dr Hannibal Lecter. In this book young FBI wannabe Clarice Sterrling needs the help of the infamous Hannibal the Cannibal to find and arrest a killer of feminists, Buffalo Bill before he skins any more women. The catch? Dr Hannibal wants a new cell with a window. Clarice gets the FBI to agree but they go back on their word and move him to a place far worsethan before. Will this backfire on them or will it work?
This captivating read had me on the edge of my seat with anticiption and suspence. I had to get the rest to find out what happened!

Phantom of the Opera
Phantom of the Opera By Gaston Leroux
Check the catalogue to find out what this book is about and where to find it.

Comments from Readers:
This book is based in late 19th century Paris and is based on true events that happened in the "Opera Populaire". It's all about a young soprano singer who captures the interest of the elusive Opera Ghost who becomes her Angel of Music. Later on in the novel you find out that the Opera Ghost or the Angel of Music are really just a poor disfigured gentleman with a horrific past. As you go through the novel passion, romance and horror keep your eyes glued to the page, making you wonder if the Opera Ghost will win the girl or if Christine's (the young soprano) childhood sweetheart Raoul will steal her away
It's a gripping read with many twists and turns along the way and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror or romance.
