Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Alright! I'm thinking I've read all the good stuff, and i'm really needing some help!

Here's what I've read, and what I've rated them:

***** Sookie stackhouse series
***** Black Dagger Brotherhood
***** Rachel Morgan series
***** Fever series
**** Highlander series
*** Riley Jenson series
***** Night Huntress series
*** Magnus pack
*** Shifter series
**** Vampire Academy
**** Hunger Games
**** Twilight
**** Mercedes Thompson series
**** Cassandra Palmer series
** Vampire Diaries
** Psy-Changeling
** Kitty Norville series
*** Demonica series
**** Outlander series
**** Immortals after dark
*** Georgia Kincaid
** Trylle Trilogy
** My blood approves series




I read the first book in Morganville vampire series - Just couldn't get into it.

Also, read the first three books in Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter series, it was ok, but nothing that kept me up all night reading.

I'm ready for another heart stopping series that totally sucks me in! If you have any recommendations please let me know!

Oh - and I'm trying to avoid series that only have one or two books out. I'm not exactly the most patient person. lol

Ok thanks!

Lord of the Fading Lands (Tairen Soul, #1) by C.L. Wilson


message 3: by Shelly (new)

Shelly (mashbay) Kate Daniels, River of Time, Darkest Power, Chicagoland, Harper Connolly, Morgan Kingsley? Maybe one of these series will strike you.


Hey There Delilah!! (lilone322) | 26 comments Guild hunter series by Nalini Singh, Chicagoland series by Chloe Neill, Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian, the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa and definitely the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare


message 5: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (faithia_firestar_238) | 4 comments Glory st. Claire by Gerry Bartlett, Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost, Night Huntress world by Jeaniene Frost.


Mlpmom (Book Reviewer) (mlpmombookreviewer) | 839 comments What about the Kate Daniel series by Ilona Andrews? It gets better as they go, currently there are four books out (the fourth out next week).

I haven't tried it but I have heard great things about the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep.

I third the Chicagoland Vampire series by Chloe Neill, there are only four books out and the last one has gotten a lot of controversy.

Richelle Mead also has the Dark Swan series out, there are three books out right now.

Not even close! Some of these only have a couple of books in the series so far others are finished. Any that aren't PNR I've marked.

Christine Feehan's Carpathian series (22 books in that one should keep you busy) Start with Dark Prince (all of her books are worth checking out actually)

Marie Harte's Circe's recruits books are quick reads and hot. Then Dawn Endeavour and Power Up! series.

Sydney Croft's ACRO series - Xmen get hot.

Ann Aguirre's Corine Solomon series (UF) or Sirantha Jax (Sci-fi UF)

Pamela Palmer's Feral Warrior Series

Virginia Kantra's Children of the Sea series

Anya Bast's Elemental Witches

Lauren Dane's Cascadia Wolves

Allyson James's Stormwalker series

G.A. Aiken's Dragon Kin series

Lora Leigh's Breed Series

For a series that really sucks you in J.D. Robb's In Death series (UF/Crime but fantastic character/relationship development throughout series)

Molly Harper - I've only read the werewolf books but I'm hunting up her others - lighthearted take on PNR.

Devon Monk's Allie Beckstrom series


message 10: by Vi (new)

Vi Meljean Brook's Guardian series is also pretty good. I'm reading through the series now and it's getting better.


message 11: by Lauren (last edited May 26, 2011 04:54AM) (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) The Darkness Chosen and the Chosen Ones series by Christina Dodd. I've read the first and it is excellent. Each series has four books.

ஐAndreaஐ (rosesrrblue) | 707 comments Hey Kelleigh,

Your still missing a few :) I think Night Huntress and Vampire Academy are my favorites. But here are some that I really like that you didn't mention above. If you like Richelle Mead you have to read Storm Born, it's hella good!

Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1) by Chloe Neill Storm Born (Dark Swan, #1) by Richelle Mead Spider's Bite (Elemental Assassin, #1) by Jennifer Estep Barely Bewitched (Southern Witch, #2) by Kimberly Frost Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1) by Nalini Singh

Lisa M (lamessegee) | 248 comments Here are some PNR series that haven't been mentioned yet.

Two vampire series with a good dose of humor in them:
Argeneau Vampires by Lynsay Sands
Love at Stake by Kerrelyn Sparks

A darker series about a warrior race protecting the human race:
Sentinel Wars, by Shannon K Butcher

A dark series about the fae:
Dark Magick by Anya Bast

Similar to but different than BDB:
Midnight Breed by Lara Adrian

I haven't read them, but the Darkyn and Kyndred series by Lynn Viehl are supposed to be good.

A Quick Bite (Argeneau, #1) by Lynsay Sands How To Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake, #1) by Kerrelyn Sparks Burning Alive (Sentinel Wars, #1) by Shannon K. Butcher Wicked Enchantment (Dark Magick, #1) by Anya Bast Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #1) by Lara Adrian If Angels Burn (Darkyn, #1) by Lynn Viehl Shadowlight (Kyndred, #1) by Lynn Viehl

I admit that I'm not in with the popular consensus by liking Midnight Breed series better than BDB, but that's what makes each of us unique. I understand that there are die-hard BDB fans; for me, it's Midnight Breed all the way!

I also prefer Midnight Breed to BDB, but it's a matter of personal preference. BDB is a bit harsh for me, though I read both.

Anyway, back to the topic. Keep those recommendations coming for Kelleigh!


message 24: by Beth (new)

Beth (vanburren) | 22 comments If you're interested in YA books, the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan is really good. Everyone I've recommended it to so far has loved it.

Jacquelyn Frank's Shadowdwellers series is good, too. Hot!


Hey There Delilah!! (lilone322) | 26 comments Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins, I recently read and really enjoyed it. Quick and funny but there is only 2 books out so far.

You should probably start with Jacquelyn Frank's Nightwalker Series first. Isn't that where the Shadowdwellers are introduced? First book:
Jacob (Nightwalkers, #1) by Jacquelyn Frank

*Ash* (ashdex) | 73 comments you could try Eileen Wilks, Lupi series.

PNR  lover | 430 comments You must try Angela Knight:-
Warlords
Mageverse

Loved these warlords, they were great.

It was something a little bit different

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Those sound very interesting! Thank you ladies!

I absolutely recommend these as well. Very good. I also love the Vampire Academy series.

As for Morganville, I didn't have the easiest time getting into them either, but I'm glad I did. They get much better. The last 2 have been kind of blah though. Sometimes I think authors need to know when to end it. Morganville is one continuous story, like the Sookie books which I believe should end soon too. The last couple were terrible, IMO...I think she's just writing them because she has to now...

That being said...I really enjoy Richelle Mead. She plans out her series over 6 books. You still care about the characters by the time you're done.


Michelle(Chelle) aka Nightshade - Cake Whisperer (michmag) I loved the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh. Can't wait for the next book.


message 33: by Lizbeth (new)

Lizbeth (lizbethreads) | 33 comments We've read 80% of the same books.

It seems like you appreciate a good sarcastic sense of humor. I highly recommend the Chicagoland Vampire series. Great funny/smart characters.

I happen to think that Katie MacAlister is really funny but her books are more fluff, but that's nice sometimes. Katie MacAlister

Have you read the Dorina Basarab series by Karen Chance? It's good. Not as good as Cassie because, uh, no Pritkin. Midnight's Daughter

I think you'd enjoy the Dark Swan series by Richelle Mead as well. Storm Born

I really enjoyed the first couple ( I think 3? ) Anita Blake books. I've read all of them except for Hit List which just came out. I don't know if you want to go down that dark and bumpy road though. Her Merry Gentry series isn't as bad. It's not nearly as "serious" though.

Like I said we've read most of the same books so it's hard to recommend a lot. lol


message 34: by Becky (new)

Becky  (bucktuskl) | 69 comments Lords of the Underworld, Midnight Breed, Mortal Instruments, Vampire Academy


message 35: by Patty (new)

Patty | 3 comments What about Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton...really good series and about 16 books in the series.

Try the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate. Its a sort-of forbidden cursed romance between a girl and a fallen angel. The premise: A human girl, and a fallen-angel whose imminent love is forbidden. In every lifetime, a love found, a love lost. *goosebumps*

Read only the 6-page prologue & you will understand the worth of the story ♥

The first book, Fallen is good, The second book, Torment was great, The third book, Passion was awesome!!And...The fourth book, Rapture

Hush Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick or the Fallen series by Lauren Kate.

There is also the Shiver series I have heard many enjoy. Personally I have only red the 1st installment out of the 3 that are out. And I reviewed the book as good. Just good. The two series I listed previous to that one I do enjoy. They are currently my favorite series and I two have read others such as Twilight/Sookie/etc.

*not my opinion: I heard others say that Fallen is kind of slow in comparison to Hush Hush.

However if I were to compare the 2 series I would say:

Fallen(Fallen #1) > Hush Hush(Hush Hush #1)

Torment(Fallen #2) < Crescendo(Hush Hush #2)


message 38: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 6 comments If looking for a good romance series that sucks you in, try The Fallen series by Kristina Douglas. So far there is Raziel (1st book) and Demon (2nd book).
