What are you reading right now?
Please help me out here all of you. I have loved the Shifter series, Chicagoland Vamps, Mercy Thompson, Alpha and Omega, Dark Swan, Kate and Curran, Cat and Bones, Charley Davidson, Stormwalker series, Rachel Morgan, Vamp Academy and probably some I am not remembering. I love the close but not overly sexual relationships.
I have also read the Highlander, Fever, Demonica, Anita Blake, Psy Changeling, BDB, etc.
Can you make some more recommendations for me that are similar to the first group?
Have you read the Iron Druid Chronicles? There's no romance/relationship but the books are fantastic. They're UF.

Have you tried any of these?

(very dark, unsure if you like that type of book)
I'm all about Dark Hunters right now, but what about: Jennifer Esteps's Elemental AssassinKalayana Price's Alex Craft
Jennifer Ashley's Shifter's Unbound
Oh yeah, forgot Elem. Assasin and Alex Craft. Liked both of them too. I have to look into Shifter's Unbound.

I get bored with the same format over and over in PNR and they caught and held my attention from beginning to end. I haven't picked up the 3rd yet, but the 1st 2 are fantastic.
I actually have Iron Druid on my Kindle to read and have read Blood Bound, Fever and Soul Screamers, but I will definitely check out the others. Thanks. Whatever anyone else has to suggest, I am open to.

Amanda Ashley has so many really good books.

Whatever anyone else has to suggest, I am op..."How about Morgan Kingsley series by Jenna Black, Nicki Styx by Terri Garey, Immortality Bites by Michelle Rowen, Pepper Martin series by Casey Daniels, Psychic Eye series by Victoria Laurie, Ghost Hunters series by Victoria Laurie, Kara Gillian series by Diana Rowland, Disillusionists trilogy by Carolyn Crane, Valerie Dearborn series by Caroline Hanson, Demon in me series by Michelle Rowen, Bloodhound Files series by D.D.

All of these have romantic elements. Some are UF and some are PNR. The sex isn't real heavy.
Also, try this one. Don't see it mentioned but it's a great series.

Have you tried Eileen Wilks World of the Lupi series?
And I'm with the folks recommending the Iron Druid Chronicles. Best find of 2011 for me.
I just picked up
because I needed a book of a certain length for a monthly challenge. Anyone read this? What did you think?

I am actually reading the second book of World of the Lupi right now.
Finished reading Seductive Persuasion
yesterday. Good Historical Romance/PNR. I really enjoyed the characters interaction and the Paranormal stuff was very interesting as well.

Cool. I really like how the relationship between Lily and Rule evolves through the series.
Also, I can't believe I forgot to recommend the Jesse James Dawson series by K.A. Stewart.
I picked them up on a whim because I liked the covers and was pleasantly surprised by the stories. Jesse is a human with no magical abilities who dotes on his wife and young daughter. When someone barters their soul to a demon and later realizes what a dumb idea that was, they hire Jesse to fight the demon and end their contract. He does this with his wit, his sword, and the occasional charm from his witch of a wife. It's a really neat change of pace to read about a happy family man without any of the mysterious powers we see so often. And he's got a great collection of snarky T-shirts.
Just finished Endless Magic and loved it. This 4 book series was just fantastic. First time reading this author but will most definitely keep a watch on her for anything she puts out in the future. Very exciting and well written. Now reading
for a group monthly challenge as well as
for another group. Both really good books so far :)

I just started
. If I can get over Sophia I may enjoy the book. She is extremely annoying. The female in the first book(Olivia) irritated me but you could somewhat understand her frustration. This girl in the second really gets on my nerves. I have never read such a meek character. I like the story but I do not like her.
I just finished
. Might as well continue on to
.
I'm nearly finished with
, which is good (and bad) since I just got my preorder of
on my doorstep yesterday and
available for me at the library.
I'm reading/listening to
I am reading
Which is pretty darn good...and a bargain at $2.99 on B&N.
Katya wrote: "I am reading Which is pretty darn good...and a bargain at $2.99 on B&N."Just put it on my tbr list. It is $2.99 on amazon too.
I am currently reading Angela Knight's Masters series and so far im enjoying them, although it took me a couple of chapterts to get into the concept of storyline im glad i stuck with it.A vampire romance with a twist and plenty of humour id recommend these books if your after a good easy read.
Just finished
I cried...even though I know there's more. That NEVER happens to me.
Starting
now.

LisaT wrote: "Starting now."I have been seeing this book in this group a lot.
Would you recommend this series?
Finished
and I thought it was a good debut, but the first half was boring and now I'm finally gonna start
:).
Kouk, IAD is a great series! Give it a shot.
Magda wrote: "Kouk, IAD is a great series! Give it a shot."Thanks Magda,

There's a prequel to the series but not necessary if you want to skip. Prequel is
First book

"Thank you very much Magda!
I wasn't sure where to begin because of the prequel!

Great, report back when you do. I loved this series, read them back to back.
Magda wrote: "Great, report back when you do. I loved this series, read them back to back."I will let you know what i think!
Well Im jumping on the band wagon and Im going to be reading
next... I'm super excited to start this book I have been waiting to read it on vacation since it came out ! ...Just finished reading
didnt love it like the first book in the series Slave to Sensation .. I found visions of heat to really drag I guess it was more "world building" than anything even the romance for me was lackluster ... but I dont think my head was really in this book just saying ... the other reviews were excellent so its probably just me haha

By the way, Immortal Rider is also sitting on my nightstand. I can't wait to read it. I loved the first book. Yea, for someone else who loves Highlander books as well!!!!
