Help please! New Series! Have I read them all?
What about the Fever series? That is a must read! Its one of my all-time favorites.Oh, and if you like Lords of the Underworld then you should really like the Immortals After Dark series. The authors are really good friends. I actually like IAD a little better than LOTU!
Nalini Singh has two great series - Psy/Changling and Guild Hunter.Psy/Changling starts with
Guild Hunter starts with
I suggest: Psy/Changling, Natalina Singh
Midnight Breeds, Lara Adrian
Sons of Destiny, Jean Johnson
Magnaverse, Angela Knight, and
Feral Warriors, Pamela Parker
All the above plus Kresley Cole Immortal after Dark
if u dont mind if only the first book is just out you should really try:
and
Thanks. I'm going to start looking into these recommendations
I'm not sure whether it's YA or not, but I've heard nothing but good things about the Mistborn trilogy. And, of course anything by Richelle Mead is pretty amazing. Succubus Blues and Storm Born are her two adult series' openers.
What everyone has listed, and also Karen Chance's Cassie Palmer and Dorina Basarab series.
Wow thanks you guys. I've been checking all these out and I now have a new list that should last a while. Thanks again.
I will have to say any thing by Richelle Mead or Nalini Singh and your know you are getting an awesome read.

UGH! disliked LOTU but LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IAD!
Christina Dodd's The Chosen Ones are good
. This is the 3rd or 4th book in series.
more UF than PNR, but i'm really loving the Chicagoland Vampires series - Chloe Neill
with book 4 due out next year
Wow! I'm glad you started this discussion because I'm in the same dilemma. There aren't many that you and I have not read (from your list there) so here is my 2 cents lol.Ilona Andrews - Kate Daniels series; it's UF but still good. Also The edge series; I think this series is more paranormal but I enjoyed this too.
Dara Joy's Matrix of Destiny trilogy also. It's considered futuristic but it has Romance, action & humor. It's actually in my top of favorites.
I 2nd Chicagoland Vampires series & Fever series. They are UF but they are really good as well. I've only read one in Richelle Mead succubus series so I'm not sure about that but her Dark Swan series is really good so far. Both of Nalini Singh series are good, I especially like the Guilder Hunter series. Hope that helps.
I cannot recommend Born of Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon enough. I just finished it today and it is seriously one of the best books I've read all year and seeing as how I've read at least 135 books this year, that's saying something. It's futuristic/sci-fi romance, but it is just flat out amazing and there are two other books currently released in the series with two more on the way. And also Kenyon's Dark/Were/Dream Hunter series, it's currently going on 19 books with #20 due out next year and it's really good. The first book is Fantasy Lover. I also recommend the Argeneau/Rogue Hunter series by Lynsay Sands, it's an excellent series that veers more toward the lighter/humorous side of paranormal romance and i think it's quite good, it's going on 14 books with #15 due out later this month, the first book is A Quick Bite. I also have to recommend the Dragonfire novels by Deborah Cooke, it's a series about Dragonshifters and it's really good, it's currently going on 5 books with #6 due out next year i think, the first book is Kiss of Fire. Also there's the Final Prophacy series by Jessica Andersen which is going on 5 books with #6 due out next year, it's a refreshing change from other paranormal romance and does not feel done to death, the first book is Nightkeepers. And also there's the Masters Of Time series by Brenda Joyce, the series seems to have been wrapped up with the current 5 books, it's a really good series and is a very interesting take on Highlanders and time travel, the first book is Dark Seduction.
I enjoy the Doomsday Bretheren series. You might like it.
I 2nd Laura....Jessica Anderson's Final Prophacy is really interesting and very different from what's out there.

there are 2 anologies throughout also..about 6 books in that series (including anologies) and still going!Also!! from same author Demon Princess Chronicles series
this series runs off of the Monere series. I absolutly recommend these as they were AMAZING!! Great world building, and I have to admit it is a little more like erotica, with the adventures!!
the fever series and the chicagoland vampire series are reallly good
If you like Patricia Briggs she's got another series that sort of takes place in Mercy's universe but stars other wolves.
begins the story of Anna and Charles and the first book is

I was a little uncomfortable bc I didn't realized these were erotica romance, but wow, the storyline was very impressive. Once I got over with all the sex and how sex was used in this series, I was enthralled with the plots. Love it.
Ya they are super awesome! It's been awhile since I read them and I actually read Demon Princess before the Monere.I think I liked Demon Princess more, it is a different view then Monere, as the main character is Hayclon's sister, a ...
Again if you can get past the sex I think you could enjoy this series!! The world building for me was amazing as I could really "see" the story, but let me know what you think if you read them!!
Ummm... I would say read the Fever series, the Study series, and Midnight Breeds.... They all were pretty close for me. Of course not much measures up to BDB!!!
I have spent all my spare time researching all these books. And wow I had a hard time choosing the next series to read;so I put all the different series' on small pieces of paper and dumped them in a bowl (then drew one). And winner was The Monere Series. So picked up the first book today. I'm very excited. And just so you know I plan to follow it with its spin the Demon Princess books. And the I already drew for the next series after that will be the Fever series. So once again. Thanks you so much. (And if u all add more books I will add them to my "draw bowl". Lol
Pearl, I like your "draw bowl" option. I'm torn among Psy-Changeling, Immortal After Dark, Georgina Kincaid.Have you read the Highlander by Moning? It's very good and it captured Fae background that continues to the Fever series.
I hope you'll enjoy the Monere series. Lots of 'senseless sex' but the plots are amazing and captivating. I will pick up the Demon Princess. I LOVE the her brother, the Demon Prince, sighs....
after just reading the desciption of Monere Series im very interested in this series. i'll definitely check it out.

I have never heard of the Monere series. Should I read that before I think about reading the Demon Princess Chronicles. I must read Fever first. I have heard so much about it I must know what all the hype is. I am on my last book of Highlander series.

I have read the Highlander Series and it was great. So im really looking forward to the Fever Series. But for now im totally captivated by the Monere Series. i started last night and Im already half way through. Even though the sex is a lot, it does not take away from the story line. Loving it a lot!
I think you'd like the Kitty the Werewolf series. It has a lot of action and some romance.
Someone else already recommended The Sons of Destiny, which is fantasy, not UF, like most of the series you've read. I highly recommend it, but it may not be the flavor you're looking for. Also, if you're looking for lighter, fun action PNR, try the Aisling Gray series by Katie MacAlister.
I'm in the middle of reading the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian... and LOVING it! Also, the Alpha and Omega series by Patricia Briggs is great. It's set in the same world as Mercy Thompson series.
Pearl! Glad your loving the Monere series! I wish I could go back to reading it for the first time again!
Enjoy!
Pansey!I would suggest reading the Monere series before Demon Princess, as Demon Princess takes after the Monere series, there are a couple references back to the Monere. But I did read the demon princess first and I still enjoyed it thoroughly!!
Hi Pearl, one more to consider:Eileen Wilks, world of the Lupi series. Very good! :-)
The first book is Tempting DangerTempting Danger

Pansy & Mariya, the storyline for Monere is so original and very good. Sex was used as a punishment, a dominantory, a responsibility, a reward and of course love & passion. At first I didn't feel the chemistry and emotion, but boy, was I wrong. It took a turn and I was bawling and couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
Pearl, glad you're enjoying the series. I thought I was among the few who loved Monere series. I must admit, I picked it bc of the beautiful covers. Yup, I'm one of those who judge a book by its cover...AND now I have GOODREADS friends & reviews too.
Enjoy.
These are some of my favorites.Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews
Cassandra Palmer by Karen Chance
Georgina Kincaid by Richelle Mead
Dark Swan by Richelle Mead
Fever series by Karen Marie Moning
Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill
I also enjoyed the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep and Sabina Kane by Jaye Wells.
Vampire Academy was good too, even though it leaned a little more toward YA. It was a bit more mature than most YA though.
My 2 recommendations that I haven't seen listed yet are the Jane Jameson series and the Parasol Protectorate series. The first books are
and
. They're both more UF, but they are both funny and well written.

(She also wrote a series of books, the Dragon Kin series, under the name G.A.Aiken) Her books will make you LOL throughout them. If you choose to read them, read the Magnus Pack series first, then the Pride series, then the Long Island Coven series. (The characters in eache series are introduced and woven into the series before it. It'll help you follow the characters better if you read them in order)Hope enjoy reading them as much as myself!!
I highly recommend the downside ghost series. Can't remember the author but it's a really addictive series.
I'm getting in on this thread really late but I didnt belong to the group in Nov. Anyway, I have pretty similar tastes and I series I really enjoyed was Marjorie M. Liu. She has a series about ppl with psycic gifts and shifters that work for a detective agency. The first book is Tiger EyeThe series is 9 books long right now with 1 anthology.

I think the title sounded kind of old school romance to me and I made a bit of a snap judgment.
Here are some adult PNR series that I don't think were mentioned:Guardians of Eternity by Alexandra Ivy
Love at Stake by Kerrelyn Sparks
The Sentinel Wars by Shannon K Butcher
Warriors of Poseidon by Alyssa Day
Nightcreatures by Lori Handeland
The Others by Christine Warren
Atlantis by Gena Showalter
Here are the first books in the series:
Happy reading!

and
Try Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong. Each book has a different couple or main character in it, but all the characters are in every book. Sometimes the same person will narrate multiple books (like my favorite Elena) This is the first book in the series and there are 11 so far with a bunch of short stories online that are back stories for some of the characters.
