Believe me, I've read the Fever series and others, and none of them have nice fae either. ;)"
Well, any book is going to struggle after Magic Strikes - that's my favorite release of the year.

I have mixed feelings on Deeper. When you are finished I would love to hear what you thought of it.

ANYWAY, this is only 4 books long so I am starting to think ahead to the next series I will read. I have it narrowed down to three so I ask you guys, what do you like?
Kresley Cole, Immortals After Dark series
Patricia Briggs, Mercy Thompson series
Lynsay Sands, Argeneau Vampires series
Thoughts? Opinions?
Thanks!

Lynsay Sands is typical PNR--couples pairing off in each book--but Sands has a great sense of humor. Many of her Argeneau books have made me laugh out loud.
Mercy Thompson is very good UF. Mercy is a very down to earth kind of gal, very sensible and capable. Great characters. The first book is a lil slower in pace, especially if you're coming off of reading Chance who is non-stop action (and lust-inducing men).
Haven't read Cole!



Hi Tara,
I've read all 3 of the series' you mentioned and loved them all. The Lynsay Sands and Kresley Cole seem to have more humorous romance in them. It kinda depends on the mood you're in! I think I would suggest Kresley Cole... she has strong, witty women heroines and some hot guys vying for their attentions!

Believe me, I've read the Fever series and others, and none of them have nice fae either. ;)"

I have to agree, it was a great book.

Eek! Um, ..."
I made it through the book. Can't say I'll pick up the next one in the series but I'll read a summary on the author's website and see if it sounds better to me than this one. I gave this book 2 stars.



And I have a fear of looking out windows when it's dark out, I think someone will be out there looking back in! So, there's been parts where this book has creeped me out!
I'm reading Going Bovine at work and it's really funny but I haven't gotten far yet. I'm hoping things pick up for Cameron though because his life pretty much sucks and it'll get depressing to read about if things don't change soon.


I just started


Thanks Valorie, I'm leaning towards Kresley Cole as well. Mostly because I think I will get those from pbs first.






Yes, I have already read some of those blush worthy moments. Niol is one sexy demon.

I loved The Host. It was much better than her Twilight Series, IMHO, and I was thrilled to learn they are making a movie out of the book. Which I hope is done better than Twilight was.





Stick with it, it's a brilliant series and one of my favorites from the YA genre, hands down. (Other YA recommendations include Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires, Kelley Armstrong's Dark Powers, Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments and Holly Black's Modern Faerie Tales - I see you already have Melissa Marr's stuff).

I love the cover of Lover Avenged. The male model looks nothing like the way Rehv is described, but is still totally HOT.

Louise, I want to see your opinion of Kiyo is the same when you finish the book.

I was thinking the same thing!

This was a problem before, but I adjusted to the madness that is Lynn Viehl.

Thanks I am checking those authors out, I appreciate the recommendations.

Emma, I finished The Host just a couple of days before you. It was soooo good. I can't believe I waited so long to read it. I was sad to see it end.

Which series, Louise?





Not Louise, obviously, but I believe she was referring to Tempted, the latest House of Night book which is, by many accounts, crap. I haven't read my copy yet.

Thanks, Dark Heart. I thought that might be it, but people have been posting about another books called Tempted, so I wasn't sure.

Really? I'm not that far into Shadowlight, but I can't say that was ever a problem for me in the Darkyn series. I immediately picked up that Alex and Michael were the main couple and so on, maybe because I've been reading in the genre a while or maybe because I take my time reading, who knows.
