I second Christine Feehan as an amazing author! I love her GhostWalkers, Leopard People and Carpathians Series'. She's one of my favorite authors.
I am starting Shadow Games today, so may not be up for air for a few days : )
Mod
Okay. Enjoy your book.
Suzanne wrote: "I am starting Shadow Games today, so may not be up for air for a few days : )"Let me know how they are, Suzanne. I haven't read any Feehan books yet and I want the Shadow ones to be the first. I'll look forward to your opinion and anyone else that has read them!
It`s been a long time since I read Shadow Games,and it`s the only one I read in that series,but I remember it as being full of action,Lilly and everyone else fought off danger at every turn.I had just finished The Carpathians and was crazy to get to Dark Hunters,I loved those two series too till they started filling them in with animals.
Feehan's GhostWalkers is an auto buy for me, as are her Carpathians and Leopard People series.
Same here, I love anything that she writes it seems. I can't remember many animals showing up in the Carpathian books, just the pack of wolves the Ivory (the heroine in her latest book) adopted.
I better get them out then,maybe I am mixing them up with Kenyons
The Carpathians had shifters... some could become eagles I think... I'm sure that's where I first read about the Leopard people... which was the book... Dark Symphony? I can't remember which book the band was introduced in, but I thought they had those shifters with them.Gosh, I'm probably wrong.
No, not shifters. The band leader was able to communicate with the Leopards, right?
The Dark Hunters (Sherrilyn Kenyon) from what I remember it started out as pretty much as just the Dark Hunters and then she started mentioning Werehunters (shapeshifters) and then there is the bar owned by the Peltiers who are bear shifters. Some of her books are about Werehunters (like Vane, Fury, Wren and Fang) instead of the Dark Hunters.Carpathians- all of them can turn into an animal when required it tends to be a wolf or hawk. They mentioned the jaguar race which is a race of shifters in the later books, by they have mostly died out and only a few can change fully. She has also done another series, the Leopard series about a race of shifters that can turn into Leopards, but as far as I know that isn't connected to the Carpathian series.
Yep Darius could communicate with their "pet" leopards. But I think all the Carpathians can communicate with animals. I wish I could have a pet Big Cat, they are so beautiful
Lol just looked at my post, information overload!
Not overload at all, Suzanne. I appreciate the information because I read so many books that sometimes they run together.I imagine that sooner or later the shifters will all be related somehow, just like humans, the further back we go, become related.

It's making me want to dive back in!"Iam glad too for the info because I jumped on Kenyons the minute I stopped the Carpathians and they do all run together,sometimes I can`t remember a few days later even.
Anyway I`m glad to finally know where those grouchy bears hang
Lol I quite liked the bears, especially Dev. I think he is getting his own book soon, or recently has one. I haven't read Kenyon for ages, but when I first started reading them, it is another series I got really addicted to reading!
Mod
have you read an of her Kinley MacGregor books? I started reading them after her Dark Hunter series not realizing when I got them that they were the same author. It wasn't until i was reading them and thinking the style seemed familiar that it clicked!Are you reading the third book soon? I didn't think it was as good as the first two, the hero doesn't quite have the wow factor that Syn and Nyk did, but it was still an entertaining read.
Mod
Did I really force you or did you read it so I would shut up about how good it was? Hopefully one of these days I will get back into that series and get caught up.
Yes,now we are talking about her I want to go back too,just to regain,if possible the original Ash-he was something in those days on the mean streets of NO
Mod
I always liked Vane and Wren the most out of all the heroes she wrote. Escpecially Vane *sighs* there is just something about werewolves.
Completely aside of the book discussion going on here...I'm actually reading The Killing Edge by Heather Graham and she has a fabulous dangerous hero in the book, in the person of Luke Cane. He's a former British police officer who murdered his wife's killer and then quit the force. Now he's a P.I. or sort of, the man people and the police of Miami turn to when they want things done/ cases resolved even if things need to turn dirty.
Absolutely addicting and mind-blowing! Just thought I'd pass the word.

You know, when I first started reading PNR and Romance, I actually felt like I was addicted! Or at least I was in another world, in the zone. I guess I was overwhelmed by all the gushy, sexy stuff that I wasn't getting too much of in UF or Fantasy.
That's true, Cindi. The same happened to me when I got into Romantic suspense. It seemed to me like the adrenalin rush was a high that I wasn't getting in any other genre.

Lady Danielle "The Book Huntress" wrote: "I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to books. I have all the signs!"LOL! Last night I was in my pj's, when I I got bit by the book bug and ran out to Books a Million just before closing. I don't think I would've been able to sleep if I hadn't gone to get a few books. If that's not the sign of an addict, I don't know what is.
Mod
Did you wear your PJ's there, Michelle? Were they Superman footsies?
Cindi wrote: "Did you wear your PJ's there, Michelle? Were they Superman footsies?"LOL! No, this time I decided to change my clothes. I didn't want to offend anybody with my bleach-stained, pj bottoms with the milk and cookies pictures, and my old beat up t-shirt from my family reunion. I just knew that if I wore that out, I'd get into an accident or something. But if it were winter time, I would've worn that for a late night book run without a second thought!
I'm addicted to the writings of:Karen Marie Moning
Jeaneine Frost
JR Ward
:)
I get addicted to reading Christine Feehan, I love her Carpathian series. Although JR Ward and Kresley Cole also have the same effect aswell!
Mod
Addiction? It's when I do & say nothing all day and night because I'm reading. I can never find a good stopping place in a Feehan (for example) book, so if I have to get up, the book goes with me. I probably don't go to work or am in very late. I begin to compare my life and sweetie to Carpathians or Drake Sister's men or Leopards or Ghost Walkers. Nothing compares. When the book is over, I am exhausted and depressed.
I have a BDB addiction. (Zsadist) I wait for the next books desperate for anything about him. I also have an interracial love stories addiction (BWWM) I keep looking for good books to read in that genre and a young adult addiction since Harry Potter and Twilight I'm always looking for that first deep love story. You know it's funny when I first started reading romance I had a historical romance addiction for these authors, Virginia Henley, Samantha James, Nan Ryan, and Patricia Grasso. I had to buy everyone of there books. Then Paranormal and interracial jumped in my face and there you go.

I love her Russian prince series. :) I know what you mean about..."I have to start those CF books I can't believe I haven't yet what is wrong with me! ;)
Mod
Yeah CF has a love it or hate it style, I don't think it is the wordiness that bothers me per se about her books, it is the repeatition that gets a bit irritating. But for me her intense stories and uber yummy heroes more then make up for it.
