I think that the Vampire Diaries books get progressively better. The first one is pretty lame, your usual teeny romance angst, but once the author starts focusing more on the horror part and less on the teeny angst, it starts to get really good.I decided not to watch TVD as it airs because it's rather heavily serialized. I will buy it on DVD next year and watch it in one go, without long hiatuses in between the episodes.

I'm just tired of seeing females to be protected all the time. I mean, it's okay for them to be equal partners these days but swapping roles with the man completely is still a kind of taboo.

Thank you for the tips! I have to say that I like to see the "traditional" roles - as they are still called - flipped around :)
There are many books in which the guy protects the girl. There are many books in which the guy and the girl are equal partners, kicking butt together. But are there any books were the girl protects the guy?
From the summaries only - I haven't read those books yet, so I can't say for sure - it seems like Marjorie Liu's The Iron Hunt or maybe Adrian Phoenix's A Rush of Wings might touch on this subject...
Any tips, dear friends?
I'm continuing my list too: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcp33q7h_0...
If someone knows of any other series, drop me a note here?

Works just fine for me :)

I can't write in >.< Did you invite people to collaborate or just to view?
I started to build one too.http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcp33q7h_0...
I have so many series started that I needed a list for myself but if it can help someone...
Thank you for both tips. It's too bad that there's no list per se. It would be very helpful.
I'm curious: Is there somewhere a comprehensive list of all the urban fantasy heroines and heroes and their series? Like Briggs' Mercy Thompson, Del Franco's Connor Grey, Andrews' Kate Daniels etc.? There are so many of them now that it's hard to keep track of all them and new ones pop up every day!
