This set is made for a younger generation, but I still find them a quite good read.

Snakehead (Alex Rider)Snakehead (Alex Rider) by Anthony Horowitz
Buy new: £2.20 / Used from: £2.28
I must say that i prefered these when i was younger, and when i had more imagination. This series may be a worldwide hit, but to me they are overrated. Still, they are a good read for younger readers.

The Black TattooThe Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven
Buy new: £2.59 / Used from: £2.38
The only flaw of this book, the only thing it lacks, is a sequel! I was furious to find that none was to be made, but that is not to say that this read didn't provide enough. A must read.

The series that in my mind made Shan famous. From start to end, it is filled with twists and turns and gore, enough to send shivers of delight and fright up your spine!
