Before i head off to bed i recommend:
A child named it.
Its a novel about an abused child and how he made it through the hell he was raised in, a very good read.


That book was so fucking good but so depressing... I don't think I've ever teared up reading before

know any american books similar to death note / code geass anime? kid in high school gets some supernatural gift and uses it to take over the world

or scifi/horror/mystery from the villain's perspective where the villain wins some. i'm tired of good guys always winning. The ending of "Croak" was completely unexpected and total win.


TBH no.. but some good ones are anything in the Necronomicon by HP Lovecraft

The Necronomicon is a bunch of short horror stories they rarely have a happy ending

@ Matt

Check out the Iron Druid Chronicles.. I've listened to book 1 (Hounded)

It is awesome.. b00bs suggested it to me.. I'll reading the rest.. I just listened to the first one because I didn't have time

Code
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.
Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power - plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

Transfer of Power and the whole Mitch Rapp series is awesome. If you enjoyed the show 24, you'd likely enjoy this series.

Technically yes... is it a good novel? That is questionable.

Once were warriors series:
The story of a maori new zealand families struggles with domestic and substance abuse and their subsequent redemption.
This one is not for the faint of heart.
