booklover | 13 comments I've started 4 series recently and none of them have really been what I'm looking for (Midnight Breed by Lara Adrian, Breeds by Lora Leigh, House of Night by PC Cast, Women of the Underworld by Kelley Armstrong). I also tried the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon and wasn't a fan.

I'm looking for a PNR series, that has a GOOD solid plot and a really well developed love story. My favourite PNR series is Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost. Other favourites are BDB by JR Ward, Fever by Karen Marie Moning, and Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole. Any suggestions are much appreciated!! I really want to find a series to read that completely draws me in. It's not fun reading so-so books. :(

Adult PNR series I've read:
-Psy-changeling by Nalini Singh
-Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill
-Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter
-Mercedes Thompson by Patricia Briggs
-Demonica by Larissa Ione


Alana ~ The Book Pimp (loonyalana) | 538 comments Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) by Richelle Mead Succubus on Top (Georgina Kincaid, #2) by Richelle Mead Succubus Dreams (Georgina Kincaid, #3) by Richelle Mead Succubus Heat (Georgina Kincaid, #4) by Richelle Mead Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid, #5) by Richelle Mead Succubus Revealed (Georgina Kincaid, #6) by Richelle Mead

The only difference is, many of the books you mentioned are heavy on the alpha male... this, not so much. The romance is good, surprising much more than you would expect for a succubus story


Alana ~ The Book Pimp (loonyalana) | 538 comments If you don't mind YA, and a guy's point of view

Sweet Blood of Mine (Overworld Chronicles, #1) by John Corwin Dark Light of Mine (Overworld Chronicles, #2) by John Corwin Fallen Angel of Mine (Overworld Chronicles, #3) by John Corwin

Also, I'd recommend KMM's other series:

Beyond the Highland Mist (Highlander, #1) by Karen Marie Moning To Tame A Highland Warrior (Highlander #2) by Karen Marie Moning The Highlander's Touch (Highlander, #3) by Karen Marie Moning Kiss of the Highlander (Highlander, #4) by Karen Marie Moning The Dark Highlander (Highlander, #5) by Karen Marie Moning The Immortal Highlander (Highlander, #6) by Karen Marie Moning

booklover | 13 comments Hmm lol okay maybe I should've asked for PNR books with hot alpha males then! :) I've read Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead and thought it was pretty good but not amazing. The Georgia Kincaid series is on my list of TBR but I don't know if it's what I'm looking for right now. Thanks for the recommendation!

booklover | 13 comments Oops I replied too fast! I've read KMM's Highlander series and liked it. :) Haven't heard of the Overworld Chronicles series, will add it to the list thanks!

Kristen | 6 comments If you haven't tried yet, definitely check out the Kara Gillian series by Diana Rowland. I'm into series that have female humor filled kickass heroines, and although at first there isn't an alpha male you will not be disappointed and the series definitely keeps you on your toes.

I loved it when I first started the series, and I LOOOOOVE Ethan and I love Ethan and Merit's relationship. But it drives me crazy that their relationship isn't more of a focus in the books. I want more of them together! Haha.
