Started Devil may Cry by Kenyon. Am nearly finished the whole series. Not sure what to start on next - any suggestions - I have Gena Showalter, Jacquelyn Frank, Christine Feehan or Lynn Viehl?

I just finished it and LOVED it. It's very romantic and sweet and kinda scary. I can't wait to read the sequel :) You should try it.
Sharon - I suggest Gena Showalter I really enjoy her books!

"Robin, are you reading this series again. I love the series and am debating bying it for my collection. Don't know if I would go back to read it again and again...hmmm....maybe yes. I borrowed all my books from the library. The only set I actually owned is BDB.
I've just finished reading The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong and now starting to read book 2 The Awakening. I'm still waiting for the part of the series that makes me go 'Oooooooo...this is a really good series! No wonder why people rate it so well and recommend it!' I have not reached that point yet and really doubting that i will. But i will finish reading the series.My reaction to this series may be caused and depleted due to the reasons that I've just read the Chicagoland Vampires books by Chloe Neill. So I'm in withdrawal from those books. If any of you have read Twice Bitten, you'll know why. Amazing series!
Before that I read and completed the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and was in a withdrawal over that too. So, to get me off the withdrawal, i changed from YA to Urban Fantasy and now back to YA....it's just not the same!

I'm Currently reading the twilight Saga .. I reached eclipse ..i like warewolfs in this novel
What should I read next?? Night Huntress - J. Frost, Highlander Series - K. Moning, Drake Sisters - C. Feehan or Nightwalkers - J. Frank? I just finished LOTU and have been reading a few of Cherry Adairs T-FLAC books as a filler, but I'm ready for another series. Opinions welcome!
I just finished
. I'm starting the next book in the series

I will warn you that the first 2-3 books in the Highlander series can be mediocre but they pick up in book four.
Bailey wrote: "Whats a good book?"OOO so many to choose from. Ok for funny you can read
For yummy characters and scenes bettween the sheets and all around great series
For a great story with some sacasim and great reading fun
Son't forget Sookie Stack House

Leanna wrote: "What should I read next?? Night Huntress - J. Frost, Highlander Series - K. Moning, Drake Sisters - C. Feehan or Nightwalkers - J. Frank?

Next on my list after Demonica, Nalini Singh...so many series...
Leanna wrote: "What should I read next?? Night Huntress - J. Frost, Highlander Series - K. Moning, Drake Sisters - C. Feehan or Nightwalkers - J. Frank? I just finished LOTU and have been reading a few of Cherry..."It truly depends on what type of books you like. I'll try to explain without spoilers...
• Highlander series do have an ending. Um...each book is focused on a couple. Once that book ends, the focus on the couple ends with it. The storylines from books 4-7 are connected and are more exciting that the previous books.
• Fever series is focused on Mac and her quest. So all 5 books are connected. There is some reference to the Highlander series. Shadowfever, the final book of the series will not be released till January. Its an amazing series and very, painful to wait for the finale....very. painful.
• Night Huntress is a mix of both styles. The entire series focuses on Cat and Bones. But each book has a plot and is resolved in that book. This too is an amazing series and i understand why people recommend it. As much as I want the next book to be released, the wait for it is not as painful as Shadowfever.
I would recommend to start off with the Night Huntress series (and the novellas connected to it). The onto the Highlander series, so that if you are to read the Fever series afterwards, the storylines of the Highlander series will be fresh on your mind. An added bonus is that the wait for Shadowfever will then be reduced.

(Just editing rather than posting another msg)
Um. I currently have a plethora of series to read...
(There was a sale at my bookstore. So, I spent an obscene about of money on books.)
Which of the following series shall i dive into after my current series (Darkest Powers)?
• Gena Showalter's LOTU and/or Atlantis series
• Kelley Armstrong's WOTO series
• Rob Thurman's Cal Leandro's series
• Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series
The other series I've read and really enjoy are:
So, which of the books above would you recommend that I would like based on the books I've read and enjoyed?

I just finished LOTU and have been reading a few of Cherry..."Of your choices, I've only read the Nightwalkers from Jacquelyn Frank, and I really enjoyed it. It was my first demon series, and it was a very interesting concept (for me) that demons are NOT evil. To put it in context of what Caramelle said, these books all have an ending and they all focus on a couple. Once the book is over, the previous couples/characters do appear, but the focus is on the current pairing.
I have heard excellent things about the other series you mentioned. At some point, I'll get through them all. :-) Right now, I'm on book 4 of Demonica (I can't believe the last one comes out end of August! I want more!!!), and I'm not sure where I'll go next. So many good series to choose from!
I just finished rereading Here Kitty, Kitty by Shelly Laurenston and started reading Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers (a classic British mystery) and Jane's Warlord by Angela Knight. I'm off to the bookstore later today, and I think I'm going to try the Night Huntress series.
Do you think you might ever run out of good PNR to read?I've been reading Diana Pharaoh Francis (RoC Fantasy imprint) latest THE HOLLOW CROWN - Magic, Romance, Politics, Mystery - and I could use a lot more mixes like this. I'm going to review it favorably.
On Twitter a publisher @DavidRozansky was talking to a writer @Twilight2000 about founding a Paranormal Mystery line:

DavidRozansky @twilight2000 Can you bring in enough writers quickly to launch imprint in short
order? Paranormal #mystery sounds like great #books.
-----------quote---------
Do you know any writers who do Paranormal Mystery-Romance? My mouth is watering already! Give me Perry Mason With Powers!
And on facebook, there's a group that wants to start a REAL Science Fiction cable channel called Syzygy
http://www.facebook.com/syzygynetwork -- have to lean on them to include top notch PNR. What books would you want to see made into series?
Wow, Caramelle, thanks for the awesome recap without giving away spoilers. With such comments, I can't wait to get my hands on Shadowfever. And wow, if it's more anticipated that Night Huntress, this I got to read.Thanks.
I just finished reading Discords Apple by Carrie Vaughn and am going to start Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin.
Gave up on The Awakening and The Struggle. The story is too common to other books.Now reading Heavenly and its nice but a little boring.

I am a NH fan
I didn't even know about the Novella. tell me more.
Just finished Christine Feehan's newest one, Water Bound. I was not disappointed. Rikki is one of the most fascinating female leads that I have come across in a while. If you like Christine Feehan's work and/or are a fan of the Drake sisters, you will find this a delightful read.

But i stick with my recommendation with starting off with the Night Huntress series. It'll cut down the waiting and torture for Shadowfever. :)

Thanks! As for the novella's, as of August 3, there will be two:
Unbound contains a prequel to NH. It's about Bones' being in New Orleans and why he wasn't very welcome there during the NH book.
Death's Excellent Vacation should be available in bookstores tomorrow (need to pick a copy up!). It follows up with the current storyline of Cat and Bones.
Just to cover all the bases with this series....
you've heard of / read the Night Huntress World books?
each book focuses on a supporting character from the NH series and gives them their own HEA! :)
I've just started to read
Mmmm.. I think I need to move to Scotland, after having read this series.. lol

New Orleans. Chicago. Ireland. New York. Greece. Scotland. Alicante. Ichidian Universe....

PS - I'm having such a difficult time continuing to read The Awakening. Is it REALLY that good of a series?
