Quick Book Browsing: Mages, Wizards, & Witches
I enjoy paranormal and fantasy fiction, including stories featuring mages, wizards, witches, and the like. My contemporary paranormal romance Spellbound, features a spellcaster who works in law enforcement and a shape-shifter he meets during a murder investigation. Riding the Storm is a sword-and-sorcery novel about a sorcerer who comes into his powers with the help of an unexpected friend. There are lots of great books out there, and here are some of my favorites in the genre.
Books I Recommend:
Karen Chance’s Cassandra Palmer series — Fantastic action, with everything from war mages to time travelers to vampires
Angela Knight’s Mageverse series
The Royal Wizard by Alianne Donnelly — a fun fantasy with a female wizard
Karen Miller’s Kingmaker, Kingbreaker series 
Kresley Cole’s Demon from the Dark and the rest of the Immortals After Dark series.
Sarah J. Maas’s Crescent City series — a phenomenal series filled with action, romance, and lots of fantasy/paranormal elementsPrevious Posts:

A powerful spellcaster, Hex works as a field agent for the State Watchmen Occult Division. When a museum curator is murdered with fangs and claws, he’s sent to investigate. Local law enforcement is convinced that Sarah is the culprit. She’s a recently turned shifter and an employee of the museum who was seen arguing with the victim. Hex isn’t so sure she’s guilty, though, and not only because he’s captivated by her. Sarah is no ordinary shifter, and this is no ordinary case. A break-in at the museum, magic artifacts, and a trail of dead bodies point to something sinister. Hex and Sarah team up to hunt for a powerful relic and the people who will stop at nothing to get it.
Content: contemporary m/f romance, love scenes, references to violent crimes and murders, magic use, alternate history

The planet of Silveira has been colonized by humans for over twenty years. When wildlife biologist Lilah Reiss is sent to hunt down a man-eater that is attacking her fellow colonists, she assumes she’s after one sick animal.

Her budding relationship with Darren Jayr, her outpost’s medical doctor, is put to the test when civilization and nature collide. As the number of attacks increases, she and Darren must find out what is causing the change in behavior…and how to stop it from spreading to the colonists.
