These Five Things (Game)
Don't have a clue which character this is, but I love his or her taste! Yum!
See I thought this one would be easy. lol Just a hint-- there's a reason I used the city's nickname instead of its actual name. The actual city name included in the series's name.
Uh-oh, if it's what I'm thinking, I've never read that series. But for redhots? Might have to give it a try. And I love Italian Beef Sandwiches.

And I love Italian Beef Sandwiches."I used to live in the suburbs of that city and Italian Beefs are one of the things I miss. Don't miss all the snow, but I loved the city when the weather was a touch milder.
Have you made your own? It's hard to slice the meat thin enough, but there are good recipes out there. This one's from foodnetwork. The show's host is from "that" city. Fun to watch his show and the restaurants he visits.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/dr...
Redhots made me think of Stryder from LOTU.
Since this has been sitting for 10 months, I'll answer but not start a new one. This is obviously Merit from Chicagoland Vampires. Of course that's my current obsession, so it was quite easy for me to answer lol!! I think I'll take the Italian beef sandwich recipe while I'm here though! It sounded delish in the book.
Funny, I just saw this and knew immediately who/what it referred to. Merit & Ethan are one of my favorite couples. Yum to the whole series!

We must have been busy reading (or re-reading) the latest book. :)I'll do one, though, just for kicks:
1. Barghests
2. Cobblynaus
3. Selkies
4. Daoine Sidhe
5. The King of Cats

Oh is it the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire??
Bingo! Another of my very favorite series! Nice going.
Yay! Guess it's my turn?1. Rehabilitation
2. Net
3. Council
4. Emotionless
5. Sentinels and Lieutenants
I'm glad I got everyone's attention, but y'all lost me with these last two lol!! Though Arielle's keeps making me think back to Ethan from Chicagoland, who I'm missing terribly during book five. I just don't think Net fits him, unless it has something to do with one of the books I haven't gotten to yet. I'm also obsessed with these books!!

Clue: I'm referring to a whole series, not a specific character
Yeah, I knew I just kept thinking of him because I'm obsessed and half in love with yet another fictional character. I wouldn't normally consider myself goth or vamp obsessed in the way of people that role play or get fake fangs, but my three characters I'm in love with are Eric from Sookie fame, Bones from the Night Huntress series (yum!!), and now Ethan. I guess I have a thing for blonde vamps, since Bones is blonde too for most of their series, he just has to grow it out a bit ;-)

I know...I know...It's Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series, right?

I ..."Oooh, sorry you aren't familiar with Seanan McGuire's wonderful October Daye series about the Fae. It is one of the very best around, with world-building second to none. In fact, I have bumped it ahead of several other wonderful series (like Rachel Morgan, World of the Lupi, Mercy Thompson, and a few others) that I love, and moved it into second place in my heart, right after The Dresden Files.
And if you haven't met Tybalt, King of Cats, well...you just don't know what you're missing. Seanan McGuire is a brilliant, and brilliantly amusing, writer. Her Discount Armageddon series is wonderful, too. I want Aeslin mice to awaken ME every morning, with cries of "All hail the Goddess! The Goddess has awoken!"
:)
So I'm guessing it's my turn...1) Lamb Necklace
2) VW Rabbit
3) Pack
4) Mechanic
5) Shifter
Who is it?
1. Goth girl2. Coffee Shop
3. Blood bank
4. A hearse
5. The Founder
Name the series. Bonus points for main character's full name.

Err I'm not entirely sure, but is it The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine?
Yep. Eve is the Goth girl who works at the coffee shop. And there is definitely a blood bank in a town run by vampires. Michael drives a hearse, and the founder of the town is...The Founder. ;)Do you know the name of the main character? I can never forget it because her last name is the same as a very wicked character from my favorite book of all time, written in the 1930's by Daphne du Maurier.
I can't believe I got it right since I was completely guessingMain character is Claire Danvers?
And I guess it's my turn
1. Aristocrats
2. Swamp
3. Flash
4. Edge
5. The Broken and The Weird
Yep. Mrs. Danvers was the evil housekeeper in Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca," so I never forget Claire. I really enjoyed that series. The very concept was intriguing from the start, and I loved Myrnin.Now to yours: On The Edge?
Marcia wrote: "Yep. Mrs. Danvers was the evil housekeeper in Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca," so I never forget Claire. I really enjoyed that series. The very concept was intriguing from the start, and I loved Myrn..."Yes correct!
I think we are playing by ourselves! :) Oh, well. We will sharpen our wits for Trivial Pursuit, The Urban Fantasy Version. Here's one for you:
1. A puck
2. The Rom
3. Brothers
4. A boggle
5. The Auphe

Okie1. Beast Lord
2. Atlanta
3. Mercenary

Cool! How about...1) Helsing

4) Red Reaper
5) Chapter 32

Is it the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost? One Foot in the Grave?
Yay!1. New York
2. Archangels
3. Cadre of Ten
4. Hunter
5. Seven
I vaguely recognized the Night Huntress stuff.(REad that a long time ago), but I'm not sure at all about this last one. Hmmm. Archangels in NY sounds familiar...like Nalini Singh, but I can't narrow it down.

Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh.
Oh, yeah, now I remember! I read the first book or two and then kind of lost track. Again, several years ago. I could remember the archangel and them flying from the rooftops of the buildings in NY, but couldn't think of the name of the series. My poor brain is oversaturated with angels, vampires, werewolves, demons, shifters, psychics, Fae, aliens, and every other kind of thing that creeps or crawls through Urban Fantasy. I get mixed up. *grin*Sue? You got one for us?
1. Bruiser2. Freebie House
3. Ashville
4. PsyLED
5. Angie Baby

The only Bruiser I know is in the Jane Yellowrock books, and I believe Rick LeFleur is now working for PsyLED, but the other references don't ring a bell. But I'll guess maybe Jane Yellowrock?

Ha...you two were posting at the same time. :)
THIS one doesn't ring a bell at all. I love the graphic, though. Hope someone can figure it out. It could be something I need to add to my To Be Read list.
I would guess that the one Lisarenee posted is the Demonica series by Larissa Ione, but the comment was deleted :(Who's turn is it now?
Don't know. Still waiting for Sue on the Bruiser one. Now that I think about it, Jane's house IS a freebie, so I'm thinking that one's good, even though I don't know Angie Baby, right off the top of my head.I'll go next if no one else is playing (wonder what happened to the other post? Maybe it was the graphic?)
Anyway, here's one:
1. Dead people
2. Elvis
3. Bodachs
4. Stormy
5. Fry cook
I think it's Marcia's. I deleted my post when I saw Sue posted. I'll repost the other one another time.

5) Peanut Butter and Olive sandwiches
The answer would be: Stephanie Plum from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I didn't want to spoil a character's potential by using one of them as an example. So I reached outside the bounds of Paranormal and Urban Fantasy for the example. The person who answers correctly gets to choose the next 5 things and we go from there.
Any Questions?
Here's the first set of 5
1) Redhots
2) Italian Beef Sandwiches
3) Windy City
4) Mallocakes
5) Cream cheese and double bacon pizza
What or who am I talking about?
