Alright fellas i read a 3 books recently. they are Raven's Gate" "Evil Star" and "Nightrise" all written by Anthony Horowitz. they are amazing.
they are all apart of a serise titled "The Gatekeepers" and/or "The power of Five."
here is a site
The Power of Five/ Gatekeepers i would advise anyone to check them out. though only the first 3 books are out you will be hooked after the second. so don't stop on the fist. i did but found the second lolz it would have been a lot harder to stop the series after i read book 2. so yeah check em out they are really good.
btw the site has summaries of the first 3 books along with character files so yeah.
