I just finished "Charmed Thirds" by Megan McCafferty, and like these kind of novels. But I've also read Stephen King and Nicholas Sparks. Open to all suggestions.

I am a "Thriller" book fanatic and have read a huge percentage thats out there, so here are some excellent choices (I was going to say "page turner" until I heard the joke "why do people say this book is a real page turner--I know how books work!) Jeffery Deaver, Dennis Lehane, David Morrell and Lee Child, in my opinion they are the best thriller writers in the business!! I am a avid reader in this genre and have read Coben, King, Koontz, F. Paul Wilson, Connelly, and many others but none can touch these authors I've listed! The Deaver book I've just finished reading now is "The Sleeping Doll"--a brand new release and has literally keeped me up at nights!! I'm quite sure you'll love his other thrillers as well, such as "The Bone Collector", "A Maiden's Grave", "The Coffin Dancer", "Praying For Rain", "Cold Moon", "The Twelveth Card", "The Vanished Man", "Devil's Tear Drop" et el. For Lehane, start with "A Drink Before War" (don't let the title fool you) then "Darkness Take My Hand", "Sacred", "Gone, Baby Gone", "Prayers For Rain", "Shutter Island" and "Mystic River." For Lee Child, you can start with his first and move forward, but it's Ok if you don't. Some personal favs are: "One Shot", "Trip Wire", "Hard Luck and Trouble"--a new release, "The Persuader"-my personal fav, "The Hard Way", but they are all page turners! Also, last but definately not least is David Morrell. All his books are good, but I especially enjoy his last two releases "Creepers" and "Scavenger" which are guaranteed page-turners. Just finished my first Ed Mcbain book "Fiddlers" and it was both engaging and hilarious! Hope this helps, enjoy, Greg

You may want to try Tom Clancy. His books involve conspiracy & espionage. Why not try Gossip Girl? Amazon also recommends The It Girl Series. Love Stephen King huh? Why not try Dena Koontz? He's categorized in the same genre as King. Nora Roberts reviewed Stepehn King's Lisey's Story for Amazon. Why not check her out? May I recommend The Science of Stephen King: From Carrie to Cell, The Terrifying Truth Behind the Horror Masters Fiction by Lois H. Gresh & Robert Weinberg.
As for authors such as Nicholas Sparks, Amazon recommnends the folliwng books such as Amazing Grace by Danielle Steele, You've Been Warned by James Patterson, Stone Cold by David Baldacci, & Dark Of The Moon by John Standford. I hope these titles may interest you. Happy reading!

I think an interesting read is "The Keeper" by "Sarah Langan.
It's a bit Stephen King like in a sense. Here's a page with some info on it.... http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780060872908/The_Keeper/index.aspx
I really enjoyed it!
