Looking for new series

[Martina the Book Fairy]

I've been reading extensively in fantasy, PNR, UF, romance for years now so I've read a lot out there. However, I'm always looking for more and haven't discovered anything new and awesome the last couple years. So, what's the best - only the VERY best - you've read the past few years.

Here are some of my favorite series - just to avoid repetition:

- Celta series by Robin D. Owens
- Harmony/Rainshadow by Jayne Castle
- Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews
- Others series & Dark Jewels series by Anne Bishop
- Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost
- everything by Richelle Mead
- everything by Kristen Ashley
- everything by Anne McCaffrey
- everything by Mercedes Lackey
- everything by Nalini Singh
- everything by Shelley Laurenston
- . . . and so many more.

Hit me. What's your best of the best?

So one of my all time favorite series is The Fae Chronicles by Amelia Hutchins. I love this series. There are 4 books out right now though it is not complete.

Another one is Dark Light by S.L. Jennings. Its a total of 3 books and its complete.

Deep in your Veins by Suzanne Wright is another one i deeply enjoyed. The first 3 books focuses on the same characters while the 4th one focuses on side characters from the first 3.

I recently readThe Dark Elements by Jennifer L. Armentrout and i rather much enjoyed it. Shes also the author of the Lux series which i also enjoyed. I like her writing style.

I started to get worn out on PNR and UF so I have started to dip my toes in the mystery and Sci Fi genres. I have found that I REALLY enjoy

also if you haven't already give Jane Jameson a try as well.

Have you read everything by Shelly Laurenston's that she's written with the name G.A. Aiken? If not, I would start there.

Also, look into Patricia Briggs or Eileen Wilks. Both are great but they're more UF with little bits of romance thrown in than PNR.

I'm stuck in a reading rut right now and trying to find something so I'm stealing a few ideas off of your list, since I've read and enjoyed a lot of the same books.

anything by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kresley Cole or Larissa Ione

I keep putting the Fae Chronicals on my TBR list, then taking it off, I can't remember why?

Thanks for the rec, Cindi! I like both the Shifter series and Chicagoland Vampires and have read all of those, but Human Vampire is new to me. I just bought the first one from Amazon and can't wait to read it!

Thanks for the rec, Michelle! I love all of those, too! The Alien series by Gini Koch is one of my all time favorites! They crack me up every time!

[M.J.]

I really enjoyed Christine Feehan's Dark vampire series and Kelley Armstrong's Bitten series.

[Stephanie]

Check out Connie Suttle's Blood Destiny series. Vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, it has it all and morphs into even more. The series is great and the spin off series are just as good if not better. And every book is free with kindle unlimited!

[Cait]

Aside from what's already been mentioned:

Rosemary and Rue (ongoing series about fae/changelings)

Soulless (finished series with ongoing spinoffs. Steampunk PNR.)

[Monie_11]

hands down for Sherrilyn Kenyon's :

Dark-Hunter series

[Shelby]

I second The Dark Elements, it's a great series.

[Mya]

There are so Many wonderful Authors

Chloe Neill• is my favorite new obsession. with Chicagoland Vampires Series. I am waiting for the next book now.

Christine Feehan• of course. She has several long standing series that are highly sensual and has a lot of action. She has the Dark Series which is second to my favorite Ghostwalker series. The Leopard series is my third favorite then the drake sisters.

Nalini Sigh• is another favorite. The ArchAngel- guild hunter Series and my favorite series Psy- Changeling are addicting

Peter V Brett• Warded Man series is very long but addicting. I warn you this is no romance but a very intense real scifi book but its good.

Jennifer Ashley •Shifters Unbound Makes me laugh and has all paranormal excitement in a story. My favorite character is the honey badgers

Evangeline Anderson• She has 2 series that I read now but if you want more sexual content she is the one

Laurann Dohner• speaking of raw sexual content her Species books are 10 on the Richter scale. But if you don't like a bit of me Tarzan you Jane don't start it.

Ann Bishop• The series The Others is good too! Actually is one of my favorites. But don't look for sex in this series

J.D Tyler• has a wonderful paranormal series on wolves if you like governmental interference and military fights read this series

So many I can go on hope this helps a little

[Trista]

Templar Chronicles - Joseph Nassise
Hellequin Chronicles - Steve J Mchugh

Two recent series I've really enjoyed for different reasons.

[[deleted user]]

Lois McMaster Bujold - The Vor series (si-fi)
Lisa Shearin - Raine Benares series
Suzanne Johnson - Sentinels of New Orleans (book 1 is slow, the rest really move it along)
Kevin Hearne - Iron Druid (though I did not much like his last one)
Ben Aaronvich - Rivers of London series
Benedict Jacka - Alex Verus series (a lot like Dresden, but shorter)
Angie Fox - Biker Witches
Karen Chance - Cassie Palmer

and if you like short, humorous paranormal sexy romance, try Eve Langlis. Best bought as ebooks. Fragile Freakin' Flower and When an Alpha Purrs are two of my favorites

[J.A.]

Have you tried Sara C Roethle? I find her PNR books refreshingly different. She's got quite a few out so there's plenty to be going on with.

[Amoreena]

I just started a new series by Marie Johnston and I've plowed through 4.5 books and I'm now on #5 in the last 4 days. The first book is called Fever Claim. I haven't figured out how to get the pictures on here...:)

[Dahrose]

Jane Cousins- Southern Sanctuary Series - fun, sexy, with some great h/H hook ups. The only other author to make me laugh this hard is Shelly Laurenston

Kate Locke - Immortal Empire Series - steampunk, werewolves, vampires, goblins and Queen Victoria... what more could anyone ask for?

The Rook - by Daniel O'Malley. h wakes up in a park surrounded by dead bodies... and the action never lets up. Book 2 is due out soon.

[Robyn]

Victoria Danann's Knights of Black Swan Saga. Book 1-My Familiar Stranger is FREE! Great characters that draw you in so that you begin to feel that you are part of the story not just an observer. Its highly recommended that you read the books in order. Book 8 releases in March.

[Akaria]

Fragile Freakin' Flower was my first Eve Langlis. Funny and very sexy. I love her books!
