Description
Dream House is a riveting debut novel that tells the story of a domestic drama that will forever change the lives of two families. One terrible night. One outraged act. What price will people pay to hold their homes and dreams together? When Kate and Stuart Kinzler buy a run-down, historic house in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they're looking for a decent remodeling investment and a little space in which to rekindle their troubled marriage. Instead they discover that their home was the scene of a terrible crime many years ago—a revelation that tips the balance of their precarious union. When a mysterious man begins lurking around her yard, Kate—now alone—is forced to confront her home's dangerous past. Hers is not the only life that has crumbled under this roof. But the stranger who has returned to this house—once his own childhood home—is in search of something Kate may never fully understand. Featuring a diverse cast of characters and building to an unforgettable climax, Dream House embraces the volatile issues of race and class to chart the concentric effects of one fateful decision—a moment of rage that will echo forever within these four walls.

Description
“Lisbeth Salander is one of the most original characters in a thriller to come along in a while.”
--The New York Times

Stieg Larsson’s trilogy that began with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has become this generation’s international bestselling phenomenon.

Disgraced crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist has no idea of the levels of conspiracy he will uncover when is enlisted to investigate the unsolved disappearance nearly forty years ago of a Swedish industrialist’s niece. And when the pierced and tattooed computer savant Lisbeth Salander joins him, together they unearth layers and layers of secrets and scandals that permeate the highest levels of society, from politics to finance to the legal system itself--at the bottom of which lies unimaginable cruelty perpetrated on the weak. In the course of these three shocking, unputdownable thrillers, we encounter one of the most heroic of survivors, as she battles some of the most heartless villains ever imagined.

Tat-Fire-Nest 
   
by JuAnMiEd
This trilogy is worth reading, I read and watched these books and I recommend. In my opinion, the first book and film is the best with the second being well second and the last seemed to drag out the fact that the end was near. I am looking forward to the US version since i think the Swedish version could be a bit more graphic, so know that this is not for children. It is worth downloading and buying!!!

Phenomenal! 
   
by jenwelsby
This trilogy is an amazing story with complex characters and a plot that is full of twists and turns. Sometimes the detailed historical descriptions of people and events become slightly overwhelming. I I think this is partly due to the fact that it is referencing people and events in Sweden which are completely unfamiliar.

If you can persevere through those sections, it is worth every second. It kept me riveted and I liked the books even better the second time around! Now I am anxious to see it come to life on the big screen!!

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy 
   
by Sandy Matuschak
Loved these books and were very are to put down! An intense story with very dense writing and graphic details, so not one to breeze through.. Larsson is masterful at keeping your attention at all times, and also uses his interest in political corruption throughout the story. There are many people, plots, and unusual twists that will keep you guessing and glued to these books. Very highly recommend, and by far the best thriller that I have read in years!

Description
The Atlantic Paranormal Society, also known as T.A.P.S., is the brainchild of two plumbers by day, paranormal investigators by night: Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Their hair-raising investigations, fueled by their unique abilities and a healthy dose of scientific method, have made them the subject of a hit TV show: the SCI FI Channel's Ghost Hunters.

Now their experiences are in print for the first time, as Jason and Grant recount for us, with the help of veteran author Michael Jan Friedman, the stories of some of their most memorable investigations. The men and women of T.A.P.S. pursue ghosts and other supernatural phenomena with the most sophisticated scientific equipment available -- from thermal-imaging cameras to electromagnetic-field recorders to digital thermometers -- and the results may surprise you. Featuring both cases depicted on Ghost Hunters and earlier T.A.P.S. adventures never told before now, this funny, fascinating, frightening collection will challenge everything you thought you knew about the spirit world.

Really good book! 
   
by Irnbird
I enjoyed this book a lot! If I had only one thing negative to say, it would be that I was hoping for more documentation on cases that did not get on TV. Other than that it was great.

Must for a fan

A remarkable book about the beginning of this great show! As an avid watcher of the show, I only wish that some made it in the show!! Keep it up Grant and Jason!

Kassandra comes from the sea, but she has no memory of saltwater, seagulls, or an incoming tide.  She's never seen an ocean, never heard the thunder of surf.  She's an exile, betrayed by her own family, sent as far from the sea as they could arrange--somewhere in the middle of Nebraska.
Everything changes on her birthday.  A two-thousand year old king wakes inside her head and helps with her math lessons.  She cries for the first time in her life, and learns that her tears are doorways for calling things from the sea. With clues from summoned sea-demons and the voices in her head, Kassandra sets out to find out what the hell is going on...and discovers she's a prisoner, trapped between a murderous grandfather who controls an army of the drowned dead, river witches who spy on her through the plumbing, and Ms. Matrothy, the Girl's Department Director, who's been trying to kill her since she was four.

a wonderful and unique world 
   
by Kelly Alvarado
I love fantasy novels but I get tired of the same worlds recreated over and over. Dragons. Outerspace. Now there is an abundance of horny vampires. With this book, I love what the author has created here. It is such a unique vision and one that I am glad I discovered. I have always loved delving into new worlds and the underwater world here is such a refreshing change of pace. Add in the all the action and I really enjoyed this book. Mr. Howard creates characters that we can care about and really, that is what kept me coming back to this series. Give this series a chance, you wont regret it.

Sweet 

     

by Frances B4

Volume 2 was a great little read the same as volume 1. It's a bit pricey but I love it and you only live once. This vol. Ends the Twilight book so you will not pay 9.99+tax for installment 3 of the first book. 

Maybe now they will move onto New Moon though I have my doubts. 

Any how loved it, you should purchase. 

I love it
