    All of the books in the Anita Blake vampire hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton.

    The Grapes of Wrath.

    The Lovely Bones.

    All of the books in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. (These are the books that True Blood is based off of - I have never watched the show, but I'm guessing it's not as good as the books, like usual).

    Lisa Gardner is a good author, any of her books. I also like Alex Kava.
