Well, it all depends on how you look at it. If you're talking pure Dark Hunter books, then there are only 13, with the 14th, Bad Moon Rising, due out next month. However, there are also four Dream Hunter books, a companion guide and countless short stories in various anthologies.
Kenyon's Dark Hunter website does a good job of breaking it all down for you: http://www.officialsanctuary.com

Tried Blue Bloods... not sure I like where it's going. I'll wait for the fourth book and then give them all a shot again.

LOL. Actually, when I was trying to figure out what to read next last night, I started a book that I'm sure will be good but about 4 or 5 pages into it, I found myself thinking "I just don't care." I finally settled on a historical that starts with a near drowning scene. Something to grab my attention after spending time with the Changelings.
I loved Branded By Fire. Every book seems to get even better, though my tiny brain was confused by the Alliance/Psy Council subplot. Singh writes those scenes cryptically (it feels to me). But boy, Riley and Mercy were amazing characters to read about. I loved how they worked through all that stood in the way of their relationship. I plan to do a review in the next day or two. Singh is just such a good writer. And as you point out, very different from Leigh, :-).
What is the Blue Bloods series about? Like I need more books to toss in my virtual and paper TBR piles, but I keep looking.

And yet again there's another TWIN thing - beginning to hate twins in YA books (but this IS a Jace/Clary thing without any of the misunderstanding)
Yeah the subplots was a little confusing - hence why I think I need to reread it since the Alliance seemed to come out of nowhere last book. And the triangle, ooh, I'm liking that a lot. Can't wait to see your review.

Kushiel's Dart This is an excellent, epic fantasy, with lots of twists and turns. But it is taking me forever to read, there is just so many little details, that I find myself always back peddling! I picked it up because it was recommended as a tide-me-over for George RR Martin's next book in the Song of Ice and Fire series.
Assassin's Apprentice Wonderful fantasy that I also picked up to tide me over for George RR Martin's next book.
Circus of the Damned (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #3) Still loving Anita Blake, despite the terrible things I've heard.
Beyond the Highland Mist I'm a huge Outlander fan, and while this isn't nearly as epic, I am really enjoying it so far!

I am reading circus of the damned too
im almost finsihed. I like the books too so far. I have heard lots of mixed reviews too. I think most like the early books but later in the series I have heard thats when they take a turn for the worse. I for one will still read them any way.

That's what I heard as well Lauren! So far I am really enjoying them. I think I heard that the plot becomes non-existent after book 9 (IIRC). But everyone's taste is different, so maybe I won't feel the same way.

Thats what I was thinking too. I just might like them. Im borrowing a bunch of the series from my cousin who also said that the later books loose their plot and is just sex stuff. She let me borrow the Meridith gentry series too. I have not read those yet have you? I haven't really heard anything bad about those

I haven't read those yet, but I want to eventually. I have SO many books in my TBR pile that I don't know what to do with myself! I think it is actually causing me to read less. LOL


Kiss of Midnight I am really enjoying it. A good story line.
The Awakening Good story but I had to put it down for a minute because of all the details.
Circus of the Damned (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #3) I read it a long time ago and I am trying to read it agian.

I hope to finish up Kushiel's Justice and am going to start Seduce the Darkness this weekend.

Thanks for the info. I will check out the website!



i have i think the first 4 at home that i can read.....
so many books i could wall paper my house twice i think



i will maybe in the next week i can start with book one





i read that. and i thought it was awesome. you should enjoy it.




Charlotte, I was kinda hoping his accent would improve as he assimilates into the current time. Since I'm only a few chapters in I guess I'll see if that will happen.

Charlotte, I was with you on the accent! I don't remember if it got better, or if I just got used to it, but I really ended up enjoying the book!

I'm reading The Darkest Pleasure. I'm really liking it. I know a lot of people aren't thrilled with this series, and I gotta say I understand why, but for some reason it totally works for me. I've really enjoyed this series and am looking forward to number 4.

The accent is seriously putting me off - I've gone back to finish Dark Lover instead (as it's my birthday I figure I might was well read something I'm really enjoying and I'm really enjoying Dark Lover, its one of those books that you just don't want to end, so you don't want to read it - if that makes sense).
The Darkest Pleasure is a great book, Reyes is a very interesting character and I really felt for Paris as well, but The Darkest Night is still my favourite. I love Maddox.

Happy Birthday Charlotte! It's my birthday today too. I celebrated all weekend by reading books that were not any of my challenge books but were exactly what I wanted to read.


Happy Birthday Lori - I hope you're having a good day!!!

Bloody Bones is a great one Lauren!!
Oh I'm anxious to hear what you think Shannon.

I'm glad to hear that about Branded by Fire. I can't wait to get the book to read.
Tiffany - I loved The Story of Son by Ward. I thought that was a really good short story. Night Play and Seize the Night were my two favorite Dark Hunter books too.



The Undead Next Door
Zen and the Art of Vampires
Jacob
Crouching Vampire, Hidden Fang
A Distant Magic
When I Fall In Love
