Yeah right....
The requested order is making this one a pain to piece together since I can connect a few of the books to an author, but the characters are all Greek to me. And I'm guessing since the characters are the anchor scoring is tied to in this game, my few author/title matches I can make are pointless unless I luck into the right character....

I had to slightly alter the title of one of the books to get around the internal server error

Alex Cross - Rick Riordan - Storm Front
Bella Swan - Stephenie Meyer - Twilight
Cormoran Strike - Lee Child - Speaker for the Dead
