Andra Weis (andra_weis) | 84 comments I will try to stretch myself - though one question must be answered first - what does MPG stand for? Figured I should ask rather than assume. IS there a glossary for these terms? Thanks.

Once I have that defined, then suggestions as to author or series one might look to :)

Don't feel bad asking any question. I'm here to help. I didn't know what it stood for either until someone explained it to me.

MPG- Main Page Genre. If you go to the book's page to the right you will find a list of the Genres your book is listed under. This is where you will look to find MPG Paranormal or MPG of creature type (Zombie, Fae, etc). I hope this helps.

One of my favorite authors is Sarah J. Maas. She has two outstanding series that you could read books from.
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas series
A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas series
Another good author Kerrelyn Sparks. She combines Paranormal with humor. Love her series Love at Stake!
How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake, #1) by Kerrelyn Sparks

Thank you for all your assistance. I shall check with my local library :)

Surprisingly though, in my pile of physical books I have to read (don't we all have a "little" pile :)) amongst my romance and cozy mystery's - I found " The Vampire's Curse (Things in the Night, #1) by Mandy Rosko The Vampire's Curse" by Mandy Rosko. So I shall of course choose to start that tomorrow.

Yes, City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare definitely would work. It has MPG Paranormal > Vampires and Paranormal > Angels. Both work for this challenge. Happy Reading!
