James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing by G. Norman Lippert
This is a series that features Harry Potter's son James. This is the first book in the series. In this book, James begins his studies at Hogwarts and follows in his father's footsteps with making good friends, getting in some trouble and having to solve some mysteries. This book stayed true to the feel of Harry Potter and I think Harry Potter fans will find it enjoyable.

The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer
This was good, action-packed read. Juliana is an interrogater, a woman for hire that uses medical knowledge to extract information for whomever has hired for her. But she is also being hunted and lives a life on the run. She enters into a job hoping to put all this behind her but gets more than she bargains for when she meets Daniel, a teacher who is supposedly a terrorist, and falls for him. This book had decent twists and turns, along with an engaging plot, interesting characters, romance and guard dogs. I recommend it.
