NO ... to "young paranormal, teenage based". It's "hot-steamy-funny" with a great plot kind of deal, but not erotica romance...I don't think, agree. There're so many memorable phrases that just cracked me up and at the same time...Bones...ahhh, he's a handful and then some...
Crazy 4more, I agree not young paranormal, but not erotica. The sexual chemistry builds nicely and the sex scenes are steamy, but still tastefully written. If I were putting it on a scale of 1-5 for sexual heat 1 being YA and 5 being erotica I would give it a 3. And I agree about Bones WOW, WOW, WOW...that's all I can say about Bones.

Sheree, Night Huntress is the series I recommend first. But when you're done I can tell you tons of other adult PNR books that are awesome--I never like YA books. I think the only reason I liked Twilight is because Bella seemed more mature.

Ward? Also, Shannon K. Butcher's Sentinel Wars is a great series. Along with Cat and Bones, these are probably my top five paranormal romance series. Although, I could name quite a few more.
I am just finishing Angels Blood by Nalini Singh now and I can already tell she's going to be a new favorite author for me. Elena is a great heroine, tough but still feminine, smart and sassy. I really like her.
I'm halfway through Queen of Shadows and really liking it. 
I finished Angels Blood and immediately got book two. I am almost finished with it and I do love Elena. She is certain a kick butt type of girl.

I like that she has her flaws but that only makes her a better, stronger character. She admits to fear but doesn't let it stop her from standing up for herself.
Well said.

I think as soon as I get Succubus I will read that, then finish Paranormalcy & straight away get onto Night Huntress I'm so excited there are more adult books for me to read. the young stuff makes me feel very old & PA Feel free to recommend any more to me. I am however a slow reader but I want more
If you haven't already, you must read the Immortals After Dark series. It's my absolute favorite. Here's book #1

"I've heard good things about this series but I had such a hard time getting into the first book that I never finished it. Did you find they got better as it went on?
Absolutely. Give the series another shot.

"I've heard good things..."
I just read the first 3 books about a month ago and they do get better. Book 1 was just okay for me. I enjoyed the 2nd book but I really liked book 3. I put the series on hold because I am missing book 4 - I have all the others (I bought them at Borders during the sale). When I get book 4 I will jump back into the series.
Glad you're enjoying them, Michelle. I plan on doing a series re-read before January when book #12 comes out.I've actually had a hard time concentrating on the books I'm reading because I want to RR them now!
wow way too many suggestions guy's i'll never leave my room at this rate but I will def read them all, I have challenged myself to read Night huntress straight after Succubus & them you'll all need to remind me what the others are :)
I just finished
and I really really enjoyed it. The only thing that's bugging me is that I can't figure out what city Triumph City used to be. Kane said there was a huge clue in this book, but I must have skipped over it. I've only figured out that its in the Northern part of the US and its not on an ocean.

I haven't gotten to Psy but planning on it since I love Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter. I have been eyeing IAD series too.
I see you're 1/2 done with Queen of Shadow. Wonder how our interest match up?

Nalini Singh cannot write fast enough for me. I think I will need to start on her Psy series after I knock out a few more books on my desk right now.
Started
.I am still loving the Darkyn series
Glad to hear it. You're making me want to jump in on this series.
Decided to re-read
and also picked up
to tide me over until the end of the month.

Why, oh why, must we need sleep?! I am completely intrigued by the characters and the story line. I loved the end of the first part when he walked out of the house, kissed her, then just turned around and walked back into the house without saying a word. Can't wait to see what happens next.
I'm reading the last of the ACRO series....

I have seen it numerous times but haven't picked it up. I have a few other books to try thanks to you all. I love the Archangel books and I hope the Psy series is as good. Next to Bones is Rapheal!
Beth, I just finished
and I loved it. I agree, Raphael runs a very close second to Bones.
I just finished
and I say P.A., you can have Bones and I'll take Raphael, Bluebell and Dimitri.I still love Bones though. :)
It's close for me, but after reading 6 of the Night Huntress and 2 spinoffs I just feel like I know Bones better.
I'm currently reading Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead. I quit the series because it was just too angsty and teenager filled for me but this new one is much better then the rest minus the angst and the teenage speak :)

I put off reading it for months because of some of the titles, but it is so good. Nalini Singh has a real talent for making you feel what her characters feel and she does a great job of mixing humor in with all the action and drama. Some of the individual books are better than others, and it seems everyone I talk to has a different favorite book and favorite couple. So if one book doesn't really appeal to you, the next one might. I highly recommend it to fans of PNR.
P.A. wrote: "Beth, I just finished and I loved it. I agree, Raphael runs a very close second to Bones."P.A. I am so glad that you fell in love with Raphael & Elena like I did. I think after you read a few more books Raphael will move even closer to Bones in your heart. They are pretty close for me with Bones just barely in the lead.
I'm sure he will. Thanks for the recommendations and high praise. I'm bummed though because I don't have time for the next few days to start the next one.
I feel for you. I had to stop reading after book 2 so I could finish the September Challenges so I won't get to Archangel's Consort for another day or so.
P.A. wrote: "Beth, I just finished and I loved it. I agree, Raphael runs a very close second to Bones."Archangels consort is The 2nd book is sooo good. I've re-read it so many times! Its soooo good. Elena is truely a fighter.
Michelle wrote: "I feel for you. I had to stop reading after book 2 so I could finish the September Challenges so I won't get to Archangel's Consort for another day or so."The 3rd book is also good. It really digs into Elena and Rapheal's relationship.

Hi Beth - Archangel's Kiss is the 2nd book. Archangel's Consort is book 3.
Oops. Suffering from sugar shock after dessert! Youre absolutely correct. My mistake. But I still loved Archangels Kiss.
I also read 2 dark hunter books and really enjoyed them. Im in the process of ordering the 2nd love at stake. Thanks PA for the recommendation.
Beth wrote: "I also read 2 dark hunter books and really enjoyed them. Im in the process of ordering the 2nd love at stake. Thanks PA for the recommendation."Did you already read the first? They get even better, although I will admit book 2 wasn't my favorite in the series(I still enjoyed it) but book 3 hooked me completely on the series.
I finished the 1st Love at Stake and loved it. I get such a kick out of the Scottish fellas in the kilts. I have a not so secret crush on Scots and the accent.
I saw that there are a lot of Dark Hunter books out and a bunch of love at stake. I read a lot and it doesn't take me long to finish a book. I work nights so I am always up late and trying to keep my mind fresh.
I read a lot too--thank god since my TBR list is growing faster than I can read. If you like the scots wait til you get to book 3--you will love Angus! Isn't Kerrelyn Sparks great. She's so funny.

Thanx guy's from all your talking about this series I have added the first "Halfway To The Grave" to my "to read" list. Is it young paranormal, teenage based?
