Kristina  (volcanicpunk) | 15 comments So I recently got into paranormal romance from my sister, and I've read a lot in the last few months, and i mean a lot. but now i am at the point i must wait till the authors finish what they are writing and publish them. and i am in need of new series and authors to read. so feel free to look through my books and recommend authors and series i have not read yet. please i would be forever great full .

DarkHeart "Vehngeance" (darkheart) | 737 comments Looking through your list, I'll recommend some of my favorites that you don't seem to have read:

J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood
Adrian Phoenix's The Maker's Song
Jeaniene Frost's The Night Huntress
Lara Adrian's Midnight Breeds

** Not all strictly PNR, but all with strong romantic elements and great reads.

Sandra Hill--Time Traveling Vikings.

Michelle Bardsley--Broken Heart OK series (vampires and werewolves and monsters, oh my)

Lynsay Sands--Argeneau Vampires

Kerrelyn Sparks--Vegas Vampires (LOVE the idea of Blissky (blood and whiskey), and Chocolood(chocolate with Blood) for expanding the vampire diet)

Michelle Rowen--Fanged and Fabulous series

Jeanne C Stein - Anna Strong Chronicles
Patricia Briggs - Mercy Thompson
Karen Chance Cassandra Palmer
Eileen Wilks - World of the Lupi

Oh I second and third that proposal. Those demon brothers are sizzling hot.





UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish I'm thinking of trying out Gene Showalter's LOTU series, but there seems to be some confusion. I've seen The Darkest Fire listed as the first book, but Barnes and Noble lists The Darkest Night as book 1. I can't even find The Darkest Fire.

Anyone have any insight?


message 14: by Adrienne (new)

Adrienne The only one i've heard of *The Darkest Fear* which is listed as a prequel::does this help::or am i barking up the wrong tree:)::


message 15: by Melinda (new)

Melinda (craftymommy) | 97 comments The correct order of Showalter's LOTU series is:

The Darkest Fire {prequel}
The Darkest Night {Maddox's story}
The Darkest Kiss {Lucien's story}
The Darkest Pleasure {Reyes' story}

However, The Darkest Fire is only an ebook novella. It's the prequel to the other books. You can certainly begin with The Darkest Night without reading the prequel and still follow along. Enjoy the series! I liked it.


message 16: by Adrienne (new)

Adrienne *Darkest Fear* Ha Ha:: think that may have been a freudian slip sori:)::


message 17: by Adrienne (new)

Adrienne I think my new series may be Lara Adrians *Breeds*::i was given *Kiss of Midnight* as part of the RRR April Pick it for me::what i've readso far is v good::


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

I just started the Sign of Seven Trilogy by Nora Roberts, and I'm enjoying it.

That was a great series!

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments Uniquely Moi, The Darkest Fire was available on www.wattpad.com last time I checked.

I actually liked it better than the rest of the Lords series!

Thank you! I actually did find it there and will read it soon :)


message 22: by The Flooze (new)

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments I feel slightly guilty reading things off of there, but hey, I read the Southern Vamps on there and then proceeded to buy the books anyway! Same with Dark Hunter, LKH, and Mercy Thompson. I pacify my guilty feelings by telling myself I'm just using it to "test run" authors.

:)

And I'm so thankful because I do the same thing. I will buy them if I like them, even if I read them somewhere else first...so I am thankful to have a place to preview them.

I just finished the Darkest Night and I thought it was really good. I already picked up the rest of the series and plan on reading it this month..

Adrienne Michelle::i'm just over halfway thru::really enjoying it::can see that i'll be wanting to read the rest::was going to look for the other books in the series but have had internet probs::only just got it back::will look now::


message 26: by Kittiya (new)

Kittiya | 28 comments Wow there are so many great suggestions on here I'll have to check out myself. I happen to like Angela Knights (Mageverse series), It was the only one I didn't see on your list or above.


message 27: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarahmicheal) | 19 comments Ilona Andrews - Kate Daniels series
Carrie Vaughn - Kitty Norville series
Patricia Briggs - Mercedes Thompson series

Have you read Linnea Sinclair? She writed romances with a touch of paranormal (like telepathy) set in the future, so there is a sci-fi element as well. Try An Accidental Goddess, Gabriel's Ghost (this one is written in 1st person), or Games of Command.

Wow! What a list. I fear my TBR is never going to be under control. Thanks for all the recommendations....



message 30: by The Flooze (new)

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments There is no such thing as controlling the TBR. It is a wild thing that laughs in the face of your feeble attempts.

Makes it sound sort of sinister, doesn't it!


message 31: by Adrienne (last edited Apr 08, 2009 12:44PM) (new)

Adrienne hello:: i was in a bookshop today::when am i not in a bookshop?::and found a series called *sisters of the moon* by Yasmine Glenorn::i know some of you have read at least one of these books::are they any good?::

Adrienne,

We read Witchling, the first book, as our BOM read in one of the groups, and most of us struggled to finish it.


message 33: by Dawn (new)

Dawn (dawnv) | 320 comments Adrienne To me it felt like I was reading a bad episode of Charmed. I tried to read the second one to see if it got better and when the girl states that she is a human virgin but experienced as a cat with other cats I could read no more.


UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish I picked up Witchling in a Borders bookstore and thumbed through it. Decided it wasn't for me.

Control the TBR pile? Surely you jest. Don't you know books are like rabbits? Turn your back on them for a second and they double or triple their numbers instantly. :o)

Is that how it happens? They never taught me that at librarian school! Thank you, now I understand!

I am so right there with you.

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments WTF!?!


UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish Michelle M. wrote: "WTF!?!"

What? I was agreeing with you.


message 41: by Sue (new)

Sue | 43 comments Have you seen my TBR list? It is beyond out of control! and I keep adding to it. Thanks to all of you I will have books for eons. ;O)


message 42: by The Flooze (new)

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments Sorry, Uniquely Moi! That was more of my reaction! Delayed, I know. I thought about the cat thing for a bit more and still couldn't come up with anything more intelligent than WTF. Not aimed at you at all!!!


message 43: by The Flooze (new)

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments Funny...imagine if I really HAD suddenly become some nasty misanthropic poster who Turret'ed my way across the boards, cursing people out for no discernible reason?

"You agree with me?! How dare you! Screw you!"

Lol.

Sorry you thought it was for you!

LOL WTH! I have to read it just for that alone LOL




Jael ~ *~ Syhren ~* ~ (wwwgoodreadscomprofilejael) LOL @ Michelle. I would be LMAO throughout all the discussion boards


UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish ROFLMAO @ Michelle and Jael... there are boards just like that here. I came across a Haters Group... crap! That's all I can say about it... crap!


Jael ~ *~ Syhren ~* ~ (wwwgoodreadscomprofilejael) I think I'll check that group especially for a good laugh.

The Flooze (the_flooze) | 1593 comments Ah, ignorance. It may not be bliss, but it sure can be funny.

My mom always said "Ignorance is bliss" and I would reply, "especially for the people watching the moron on the ignorant end of the stick."


Jael ~ *~ Syhren ~* ~ (wwwgoodreadscomprofilejael) So true Unique, so true. It's a spectacle to be enjoyed by all LOL
