You may have already read them, but the Mortal Instruments series is really good and Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelley Armstrong is pretty good too.

In looking for a trilogy I thought of Nora Roberts as I do enjoy her PNR/Fantasy books. A friend lent me the Donovan Legacy books however it's a trilogy plus a short story. Would this make it not qualify as a trilogy?

Ok that was weird, it didn't include my text, so I'll try again.
Gem - I highly recommend reading the prequel to the Hunter Kiss series first in Wild Thing. I didn't and was confused for a lot of the first book.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's it. And apparently it's more than a trilogy, so it won't work for this challenge. At least I added the first book to my TBR list, so I won't "lose" it again.
