Help!! What should I read next?

[Salome]

I need a good series to start and am open to suggestions! I tend to be most drawn to Urban Fantasy but also enjoy Dystopian and Paranormal Fantasy. I want something that can be a fast read but that is not totally predictable or too juvenile. Something a little steamy is always fun too. :)

Some of the books I've read:
Hunger Games (loved it)
Sweet Trilogy (super sexy, loved it)
The Selection (little disappointed in the direction it took, but really liked Maxon)
Mortal Instruments (first three were great, last three were okay)
Infernal Devices (loved it, despite being a period piece)
Legend (liked it a lot)
Matched (not a fan)
Under the Never Sky (predictable, but enjoyable)
Wicked (predictable, but very steamy)
Lux series (a little bit too "Twilighty" but still enjoyable)
Divergent (first book was great! Each book following got progressively worse)

I may have missed some, but you get the idea. I appreciate your feedback and suggestions! :)

Have you tried:

- not steamy at all, but I REALLY enjoyed it.

- this is steamy, distopian, and sci-fi kind of mashed up with a thriller. I really enjoyed it.


I don't recall it starting out so steamy (I could be wrong, it's been a little while since I read the 1st book)... but it's like PNR Dystiopian New Adult mash-up. I like it, a little different.

VERY adult, kind of paranormal meets dystopian meets time travel meets... hell if I know, but I did enjoy it - not fall-at-my-feet great, but not bad

[Salome]

Thanks! Steamy is not a necessity, it's just fun sometimes. I'll take a non-steamy unpredictable book over a steamy predictable one any day!

Switch looks very interesting!!! I think I may just check that out! Thanks!!! :)

This was a great read that I think falls into what you seem to like:)

If interested in dystopia-Angel Theme, try reading "Angelfall". The plot was something unusual, unpredictable but very enjoyable!

How about Kat Richardson's ...it's a cool series.

[Salome]

Angelfall is actually on my to-read list! Is the series complete? I hate starting series that aren't done yet.

[Royal_kiss]

No, unfortunately they are not done yet. (I'm waiting for the third book).
But it is Sooo Good you have to start asap. :D

Have you tried Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series? It's awesome.

[Danielle]

I have to second Kate Daniels 8 books complete and the story is finished but they are writing another one. Not sure what that is about. I really like everything that Ilona Andrews has written.

also possibly more books to come but 8 or 9 books in the series

I think there are 6 or 7 books in this one.

only 2 books out in this one but I am loving it. Third one due out next year. This one has more of a dystopia feel to it even though it is more fantasy.

is definitely complete. This is the series that got me started down this UF path that I am now addicted to.

[Dexx]

Salome, you can check out my Urban Fantasy series. The first book is out and the second one comes out in a few weeks. College kids, superpowers, finals, all that jazz. lol. Let me know if interested. It's called "The Chronicles of Fire and Ice: The Revealing"

[Tèo]

Kate Daniels Series has 10 books in total, there are 7 so far. I'm not sure about it being a "fast read", I finished it in a week. Highly recommend if you are into UF. Not that everyone will love it but it's still a must-read^^

[Alisha]

You should check out that new book from Kaden Shay Her Calling. I read that one last week and it was really good I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out

Anything by Ilona Andrews is amazing!

You said it, girl! I think I am re-reading for the 3rd time and falling more and more in love with Rogan and Nevada!

[KimyQueen]

I know that those books don't belong to any of the categories you've cited above but i would like to strongly recommend The Winner's Curse Trilogy and Throne of Glass series. Sorry if i'm off topic ( probably i am ) but those are books that have marked my life and i would be damned if i don't recommend to everyone ^^

The Gender Games Series by Bella Forrest is a good Dystopian series - not steamy at all though, but lots of action.

[Josie]

I keep seeing people recommend the Bella Forrest Gender Games series. I tried the first of her Shade of Vampire series and thought it was appallingly bad, and I struggled to understand why people like the series so much. Is The Gender Games an improvement?

[Clara]

The Gender Games is a different genre than Shade of Vampire, so that might make a difference for you, I don't know. I like the Shade of Vampire Series though, so it may be a matter of opinion. :)

[Josie]

@Lara: It sounds like maybe her writing style just isn't for me. I'll give it a miss, I think, but thank you!

I really enjoyed books by Amelia Hutchins and fav series is halfway to the grave j. frost
