So, this review is of the first 39 Clues book, Maze of Bones, written by Rick Riordan. Many different popular authors are working together to write these books. Each book has 6 cards that you can register online (with an account) at the 39 Clues website to get extra clues.
The series is about one of the most powerful and influential families in history, the Cahills. All of the Cahill branches, specializing in different things, (Janus, Lucian, Tomas and Ekaterina) are racing to find all 39 Clues. The first people to find them are to become the richest and most important people in history. In the first book, Grace Cahill, one of the people who knows about their heritage, has died and at her funeral they introduce the characters. A select few are given the choice: take a million dollars and leave, or get the first clue. Amy and Dan, brother and sister (also the main characters) take the clue. They find themselves in many places, from Boston to the Catacombs of Paris!
This book (and the whole series) is action-packed and highly entertaining. I definitely suggest this book.

Twilight is not that gruesome, but, if anything, the last part is just slightly, yet it's much worse in the movie.
