Anything by Sandra Brown, Anne Bishop, Chloe Neil, Rachel Vincent, Cassandra Clare, Patricia Briggs, Kelly Armstrong...


Duncan was my favorite in the whole series - I just loved him!


There is a romance in it, but it isn't the driving plot line, its more of almost a sub plot line, where saving the world is the more dominant plot line, but there is a romance there. Don't expect any explicit sex scenes though, the couple of scenes there are, are not very descriptive. Yet I wouldn't classifly it as young adult because there is a lot of fighting and violence. Of course, I'm no expert at where the lines are drawn, and I'm not really sure what in the world "new adult" is! I'm still trying to figure that one out! It is a great series though.







Now, I will move on to a book from my another favorite author.





Have you read the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter?

Any ideas??

Hi Drew! Welcome! Have you tried Ilona Andrews's stuff? They're my uber favorite authors. (Ilona Andrews is the pen name of a husband wife team.) And the Kate Daniels series is one I would definitely recommend. The books are totally so far from Twilight because the books have an actual storyline. LOL ;p
Anyhoo, book one in the Kate Daniels series is





When I start trying to think of series similar to other series, it gets harder, because I can usually only think of series that are basically rip-offs of one another... like Black Dagger Brotherhood vs Midnight Breeds and Breeds vs New Species... basically same general plot, but different authors...


Did you read Fantasy Lover?... it's not technically a Dark-Hunter novel, but Julian and Grace are brought in near the very beginning of Night Pleasures, so...

Did you read Fantasy Lover?...."
Hi Iain,
You know,
I realized after part way through Night Pleasures, that I had obviously missed reading Fantasy Lover. On Amazon they made it confusing - it looked like there were 2 different Book 1's. They had both Fantasy Lover and Night Pleasers marked as Book 1. So I went with the one that sounded like it was more like a Dark Hunter storyline. It was confusing. After the fact I looked on Goodreads and the had Fantasy Lover marked as book one and Night Pleasure Marked as Book 2. Very odd. But everything else is marked as it should be I think. So anyway I think I'm going to go back and read Fantasy Lover before I get too deep into the series. What do you think, is it worth going back to read? Or should I just continue on?

But you may as well read it for completeness... the book is more "traditional" romance with less Urban Fantasy elements... Grace's friend summons a sex slave from a magical book... the book is spent trying to find a way to break the curse and free Julian from the book...
And you want to be using this series list for reading in order: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1533...
Everything Sherrilyn Kenyon writes is connected (to her detriment at this point, in my opinion, since now even






I got a bit sick and tired of how complicated it's all become and quit recently... but the series is great at least through Acheron, and even if you stop at some point after that, you should skip ahead and at least read Styxx...

I love the Dark Hunter series but totally understand where you're coming from in your note above. It is a huge universe & complicated. I usually just go with the flow and try not to get hung up on all the history. Do you like her League series? I love that one too!


Thank you for the series list! I think that will be a big help - it was getting confusing, especially since Goodreads and Amazon seem to have some of them numbered differently! Thank you!
