Looking for Recommendations: Which series should I start next?

[Brianna]

I was in the middle of Geri Smith-Ready's book "Bad to the Bone", and then...I got bored. Really good plot, but...it just wasn't holding my interest.
Because of this, I was wondering which of these series I should start, for something new, different, and totally interesting.

Sarantha Jax series--Ann Aguirre
Mind Games---Carolyn Crane
Shadowchasers series--Seressia Glass
Jill Kismet--Lilith Saintcrow.

If you think one of these is best, what did you like about them? Just looking for something different than the usual vampire/werewolf thing.

I vote for the Sarantha Jax series.

I just started the Sirantha Jax series -- I burned through the first two and already ordered the next two on my kindle. I LOVE it. It is nothing like the author's two other series, it is so good. I have heard great things about Mind Games also.

I saw that you read Downside Ghosts by Kane -- one of my favorite series. :)

Really thinking of starting Sarantha Jax then. Definitely in search for different, and this seems to be it.
Then possibly Mind Games.

Downside Ghosts...awesome, amazing series. :D

Regina, I read it and plan on reading the next book in the series. But boy, Chess to me is not a likable character. And I wish she would have picked Terrible instead of Lex. So, hopefully good things happen for Terrible and Chess in book #2 (crossing my fingers).

I like flawed characters. I like chess alot and I think she is very sympathetic.

Sirantha Jax also has a flawed character as a heroine but not as flawed as chess. My understanding is that the heroine in Mind Games has some serious flaws as well.

[Regina]

But I do undertand why people are bothered by chess. :)

Jill Kismet is the only series I've read and I really like it so I vote for that one.
I have read Ann Aguirre's other series Corine Solomon and I really liked her other series. Sarantha Jax is on my TBR pile.

[Brianna]

I can definitely understand why people sometimes don't like Chess, she has her bad moments. Overall though, I think she does pretty good for herself, under the circumstances. I say this as a person who wasn't going to read the series, at first. :).

I'm definitely reading Mind Games, the heroine sounds wayyy too interesting not to. THe whole thing is totally different from any other series, from what I've read.

I know that I liked Lilith Saintcrow's other series, Dante Valentine, quite a lot. It's one of my favorites. My hope is that Jill Kismet will be, too.

I totally agree with you Carolyn. I thought the premise was super interesting and want to read the next one, but I wasn't too into Chess. And I really like Terrible too!

Not that I've read any of the other series, but I just finished Mind Games and I definitely recommend it. It's a bit different, but very good!

Mind Games was really good I cannot wait to read the second one!
