Let's see so many books but I would give

1. Spider's Bite by J. Estep
2. Guilty Pleasure by L K Hamilton
3. Grave Witch by K Price
4. Slave to Sensation by N Singh
5. The Sword by J Johnson
6. Demons not Included by C McCray
7. Summoning by K Armstrong
8. Hunger like No other by K Cole

These are all the first books in certain series that I love some series are done such as the Sons of Destiny by Jean Johnson, although I hear she is writing another to continue...YA, SF, HORROR, and Para Romance.

There are many, many, more authors such as
J Rardin
S Laurenston/G A Aiken
C Neill
C E Murphy
R Vincent
J D Robb (futuristic mysteries)
to name a few that I would give too, but I limited myself to my absolute favorite series/books, favorite/favorite trying to stay in SF/Fantasy and Horror section of my bookstore but I did leak a Bit over into YA and Romance a little....
