I believe the newest Alex Cross movie is based on the book Cross, however, it is nothing like the book. The movie is okay if you haven't read the book, but you will be disappointed if you have read the book and are expecting the movie to be anything like it. As usual . . .

Just finished . Now reading .

Starting today till the next week i will be reading these books I check out at my local library

I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Nine: Ghost Town - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Ten: Bite Club - Rachel Caine.

Redefining DIVA by Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Just started The Grave Tattoo by Val McDermid - it's the first one of hers that I've read. Now I just looked at some reviews and they're not very positive, some say it's her worst book.

Reading even the cover is creepy and the beginning is very strange.

Just read "Blood of the Wicked" Leighton Gage. First Gage book I have read and will read more.

Love Mo Hayder. Her book "Gone" is fascinating.

I just finished "It Could Be A Law...I Don't Know" by James Gregory. Not a mystery, but a nice short read of humor. I plan on starting the Spellman Files soon.

Reading Lisey's Story 20 pages left.

Seriously creepy so far. Takes place at a High Secure psychiatric hospital.

I am currently enjoying by Jane Haddam and am about to start a War story, by C.S. Forester.

Finished John Sandford's Rough Country yesterday, started Tess Gerritsen's The Mephisto Club this morning.

Mo Hayder scares the bejeezus out of me. (And that's saying something.) Well, Mo Hayder's BOOKS scare the bejeezus out of me. I'm sure Hayder is a truly lovely human being.

I put them on my TBR list, I take them off. Every time I pick up a Hayder book at the library or the bookstore I look it over thinking, "I totally have to read this." Then I look it over a little more, shudder, and put it back on the shelf. Is it just me? Is it just Mo Hayder?

Just finished Wicked in Blood by Leighton Gage. Would love to hear comments about his other books

Rough Country is my favorite in the Virgil Flowers series. It's also one of my favorite series to read.

In Sandford's newest, another prey novel, all three of his characters will be in it. Davenport, that .....flowers and Kydd. Should be good. Think it comes out next month.

Though she's not new by any means, I just discovered Meg Gardiner's Evan Delaney series, and am burning through them like nobody's business. There are only five in the series, though Evan apparently reappears in another book a bit later... Looking at the reviews of Gardiner's work, I've been really surprised by the number of negative comments. True, the plots are pretty dark, as are some of the characters, but her pacing is flawless, the plots are intricate, and I'm completely in love with the main characters. Has anyone else read her?

I just finished reading "psycho" and it was ok but I actually preferred the movie. I am almost finished with "The Red Dragon" so far it's really good! :)

I finshee up Maximum ride

I'm 50% through The Black Widow.

Can't wait for that. I haven't read anything with Kydd in it, I don't think, but I haven't read all of the Davenport novels yet. I have read all of Flowers.

I'm currently reading The Delta Chain by Aussie author Iain Edward Henn and it's gripping!

Finished by C.J. Johnson and started by Kate Morton.

Halfway through Sean Slater's The Guilty.

In the middle of The Diamond Chariot at present - as brilliant as all the other Fandorin novels. Very highly recommended.

I am currently reading and it is so good. I am normally good at picking out the "who done it" part but I have no idea where this is going. I am almost half way in and things just got really crazy...next I hope to read or

Still reading , , , , , , (which is on hold till i finish interview with the vampire.)

Demetri Davos discovers a mysterious crystal ball that has the power to grant him anything he asks.

But power always comes with a price.

And after two selfish requests result in the death of innocent people, Demetri resolves never to use the globe again.

When the Nazis begin their march across France, though, the desperate half Jewish Demetri is forced into a life-or-death decision - and has to break his vow to make his escape.

Years later in Chicago, he is rich and happily married – but a vengeful nemesis, aware of the globe’s power, now wants what he’s owed.

He’ll stop at nothing to get it.

With his family in peril, Demetri is forced to pay for his past … and for wishes granted … time after time … after time …

From Europe to America, across the years, Phil Locascio’s ‘In His Hands’ traces one good man’s struggle to combat his own inadequacies and resist overwhelming temptation in a deadly moral tug of war.

The Benefactor by Scott Griffin is a Heart-pounding psychological thriller. Also free till Sunday. http://amzn.to/12EdSS7
To get you interested here's the blurb:
A taut, suspenseful and pulse-pounding psychological thriller with a killer twist.

He's the family you wish you never had.

When Sean and Maggie win a holiday to Miami it's an ideal opportunity to forget a death in the family as well as rebuild bridges with their seventeen-year-old daughter Sophie and twelve-year-old son Liam.

But when they meet a stranger who knows more about their collective inner thoughts than they do, they realise their private Facebook and blog entries haven't just been subscribed to by close friends.

As they become prisoners in their walled holiday villa the stranger teaches them why their family has fallen apart and why they should never have carelessly discarded a computer hard drive five years previously.

The Benefactor is an edge-of-seat suspense thriller, perfect for fans of Harlan Coben, James Patterson and Linwood Barclay. It combines modern technology with classic suspense to create a heart-pounding contemporary thriller.

'This is best debut thriller I have read in years' - Tom Kasey, author of the best-selling Trade Off.

'The Benefactor will keep you awake half the night' - Matt Lynn, author of the best-selling Death Force thrillers.

Reading by Kate Morton and really enjoying it.

I'm reading The Double Game by Dan Fesperman, an espionage thriller. If you're a big fan of this genre you might enjoy this book just for the numerous references to other espionage thrillers.

Sharp Objectstwo star read, this author pops up on many boards and this book has been on my tbr since 1999 I believe. I don't get this author the book wasn't that much of a thriller or psychological as it is played out to be. I did keep in mind that is an older book and sometimes that skews my reading opinion. Not this time, I skipped a huge chunk in the middle after I knew without a doubt who the killer was and read the end to see how right I was. : (

It is true that her stories are extremely gritty and dark but I really like her main character Jack McCaffery. He is a loner and will not stop until he gets all the answers.
