Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I have been requested to ask for a recommendation for a reading challenge :)

I am currently reading m/m romance and love paranormal/scifi/fantasy type stuff. Anyone have anything I should read?

Tami Wohlers (tamiwohlers) Have you read the Vampire Academy Series? It's pretty good.

Cait S | 2825 comments I can't think of any m/m romance off the top of my head but if you are into paranormal romance in general:

Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1) by Larissa Ione

Absolutely anything by Larissa Ione is amazing. This is the first book in her Demonica series which is my favorite paranormal romance series of all time.


message 5: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Sydney Croft's ACRO series has a secondary m/m romance plot. First book is Riding the Storm (ACRO, #1) by Sydney Croft

I read the first few books, but it lost my interest. Which is too bad as I loved her Succubus Blues series. Thanks for the recommend!

I've hear of the series, but not read any of it. It looks good! I have a lot of M/F PNR on my TBR but I'm really looking for M/M romance right now. Thank you!!

I actually already have that on my TBR!! I really do need to get to my M/F shelf, but am looking for M/M right now. I have several other challenges that are strictly M/M. Thank you!!

Do you think Three the Hard Way could be read as a standalone? It seems to be the one with the M/M romance as the main story...

I just noticed Sydney Croft is Larissa Ione and Stephine Tyler (SE Jakes). I've heard good things about Larissa, and SE Jakes is decent :)


message 10: by Genea (new)

Genea | 59 comments This series Rise of the Fallen (All the King's Men, #1) by Donya Lynne does have M/M Romance in it if you want to check it out.


message 11: by Katie.g (new)

Katie.g How about Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas (it's got fantasy, assassins, romance and paranormal creatures in it) or Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor (paranormal, romance, sci-fi). Are either of these good for you?

Daughter of Smoke & Bone sounds really interesting!! I've added it to my TBR - but it's not quite what I need right now. Thank you!

Though none of these are paranormal/Scifi/or fantasy, I have them all on my TBR!

I think I'm going to read Cross & Crown simply because it fits another challenge. :D


message 16: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments Thank you everyone for you suggestions, my TBR loves new books!! If anyone as any more M/M paranormal/Scifi/or fantasy romance, I'd love to hear about them!!!


message 17: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments Hi Teresa!
Have you read Hell & High Water (THIRDS, #1) by Charlie Cochet by Charlie Cochet?
Others I can think of are:
Mongrel (Mongrel, #1) by K.Z. Snow (LOVE this one!)
Catch a Ghost (Hell or High Water, #1) by S.E. Jakes (not paranormal, but still good M/M)
The Gravedigger's Brawl by Abigail Roux (M/M with a paranormal twist)
Sleight of Hand by Katrina Strauss - short, but a good story)
Widdershins (Whyborne & Griffin, #1) by Jordan L. Hawk The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks  by Josh Lanyon Rhapsody for Piano and Ghost by Z.A. Maxfield Cloak and Silence (The League, #6) by Sherrilyn Kenyon (This is #6 in the League series, but I read it without having read the others first and didn't feel too lost)
Hainted by Jordan L. Hawk (This is one of my favorites)
The Darkling Thrush by Josh Lanyon The Long Way Home by Z.A. Maxfield Knight Errant (Knight Errant, #1) by K.D. Sarge Chasing Seth (True Mates #1) by J.R. Loveless Good Bones (Bones #1) by Kim Fielding


message 18: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments Oh I forgot! I thought that the Lost Gods series by Megan Derr was really good.
The first book is:
Treasure (The Lost Gods, #1) by Megan Derr

Thank you Amanda! I have read quite a few of those! Jordan L. Hawk is one of my favourite authors! I will have to add the others to my list! Treasure looks good, as does Sleight of Hand. I Already own Mongrel but haven't read it yet, and have Blood & Thunder up next.


message 21: by Holli (new)

Holli | 397 comments One series I read that is m/m paranormal romance is Dark Callings by Elizabeth Jewell. It started out as a series of novellas, but has since been combined into one book under that series name. It was the first full m/m romance I ever read and I found it well done and very good. It's also quite a steamy read.

Dark Callings by Elizabeth Jewell

Foehammer
Hi, there is a long free preview to my novel Foehammer.
Give it a try before you buy!
If features, mystery, supernatural, sci fi, fantasy and a lot of action.
Might hit the spot!
thanks

Zuzana | 2568 comments Hi Teresa, have you read With or Without series by J.L. Langley? It is m/m and has werevolves as well.

Without Reservations (With or Without #1) by J.L. Langley With Caution (With or Without, #2) by J.L. Langley With Abandon (With or Without, #3) by J.L. Langley

The second book is by far the best of the lot.


message 24: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I've read With Love (which is too bad as it's listed as a .5 book now and is over 100 pgs!!) The others are on my TBR - I will have to move them up the list! thanks!!


message 25: by Zuzana (new)

Zuzana | 2568 comments To be honest I wasn't too fond of With Love but whatever happens stick to the series till you read With Caution. There's a reason this book is no. 1 on the Best Gay Shifters list with more than 250 people voting for it.


message 26: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 1803 comments I need your help, for a real-life reading challenge (my library has a Cabin Fever Adult Reading Challenge), I need to read a short story collection. Any suggestions?

Not too long, 'cuz I only have a week to finish it (um, no longer than 450 pages.) Preferably book format, but I could get an ebook. At this moment, my favorite genres are: paranormal romance, serial killers, character driven murder mysteries, YA paranormal and horror.

Thanks for your help!

Have you read Restless Spirits (Spirits, #1) by Jordan L. Hawk yet, Teresa? I finished it yesterday and was really impressed with it. It was a 5 star read for me.
