Danielle Gypsy SoulYou have very extensive shelves and while we have many authors in common there were still a few new to you I found. I hope you enjoy your picks.
Lord Voldemort - Let's go tattoo crazy with Cover Up by L.A. Witt or Hounded by Kevin Hearne. Atticus is a druid and it is nice to see other pantheon's besides Greek get used.
Count Dracula - Get in the Halloween spirit with P.S. I Spook You by S.E. Harmon. Or see what happens if you moved James Bond to a UF world and had M6 run by family in The Man With the Golden Torc by Simon R. Green
Sauron - check out the amazing book Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder where a girl is removed from prison and given the choice to be the king's new poison taster or be executed. Or get some lighthearted superhero fun with Karma Girl by Jennifer Estep
Captain Hook - I'm pretty sure dog shifters count as animals for How to Howl at the Moon by Eli Easton. Or check out the newly single mother who finds out she has a destiny to protect humans from monsters in Huntress
The White Witch - Keep reading Kylie Scott's amazing series with Twist or get ready for Christmas and the hunky, bearded sons of Santa with Sweet Inspiration by Penny Watson
Moriarty - A couple shorter choices with Bound By Nature by Cooper Davis or Ready to Were by Robyn Peterman if you'd like some kooky characters who try and solve the disappearance of some werewolves.
Big Brother - Check out the future with Storm Gathering by Rebecca Zanetti or Replica by Jenna Black where corporations own the states and you must marry within your work class.
President Snow - You definitely want to continue Ilona Andrew's series with White Hot. Nevada and Mad Rogan are even better the second time around. Or check out the half vampire/half witch assassin in a society where vamps and witches hate each other in Red-Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells

If that wasn't cool enough there is also a mystery/thriller story line going on as well.
