Rebecca Barr | 3 comments Hi All!

I could really use some help looking for my next series to read. I just finished the Warriors of Poseidon series and LOVED IT!! It had it all, Vampires, Shape-shifters, Cranky Gods, HOT WARRIORS. Does anyone know of a series similar to this series or an adult series with Gods in it. I've read Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series, also a fave. I've read most of the most popular Vampire novels as well, JR Ward's BDB series, Christine Feehan's Carpathians. Hopefully you all will have some ideas for me!!! Thanks in advance!

Lisa M (lamessegee) | 248 comments How about Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter? The heroes are often jerked around by the gods, and at least one of the heroines is a minor goddess. Starts with
The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, #1) by Gena Showalter though some people prefer the second book, The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, #2) by Gena Showalter .
A series with lots of different paranormals in it is Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole. The first book is A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, #2) by Kresley Cole It doesn't have gods in it, but it has everything else but the kitchen sink. It's an excellent series--I don't think you'd be disappointed.

P.S. I'm a fan of the Warriors of Poseidon, too, and I can't wait for Heart of Atlantis (Warriors of Poseidon, #8) by Alyssa Day to come out!

Rebecca Barr | 3 comments Lisa M I have read LOTU series and I also love it! Def a fave of mine as well. I will check out IAD series, I have heard of it before. Jaq Shape-shifters is def a possibility. I do like Lora Leigh's Breeds series. And goblins sounds interesting! Katya I think the series you recommended will be a good one also. I will check them all out. Thanks a bunch! Keep the suggestions coming. I can read a book in a day or two if I really try, so series don't last me very long!

Renee Trull (tiggertrull) | 64 comments Just read a really great book by Amanda J. Greene. The second in the PNR series is due out the end of the month. If you want a really great 19th century, believable, romance this is the book for you. The hero is wonderful, dark and sexy. The Lady is awesome, sassy and brave. Take a look at Caressed by Moonlight (Rulers of Darkness, #1) by Amanda J. Greene the second book is Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness, #2) by Amanda J. Greene and is due out any day now. Hope yo read it and enjoy it as much as I did. I am really excited about the second book.

lol!! that's fun. Well, it does not have a lot of drawn out pages about the history of the time period or the color of the trees and things like that as most Historical books tend to have. It really does stick to the story line and the characters. Try it, it was a page turner I thought :) Enjoy, I read it in a weekend.

Megan (thebookhunter) | 54 comments I like Tiger Eye (Dirk & Steele, #1) by Marjorie M. Liu it's got, 10 in the series so far. It's about ppl with gifts, shapshifters, and a gargoyle or two. Angela Knight is pretty good, a different take on King Arthur and his court (vamps and witches/mages) with some shapeshifting in it as well. It starts with Master of the Night (Mageverse, #2) by Angela Knight . Christina Dodd has some good PNR series first up would be Darkness Chosen series Scent of Darkness (Darkness Chosen, #1) by Christina Dodd and the spin off Chosen series Storm of Visions (The Chosen Ones, #1) by Christina Dodd .

Oh and Jeaniene Frost, vamps, love her (it's 1st person and follows one main chatracter) Jennifer Ashley has some good shifters, and Shannon Butcher, Sentinel Wars series is pretty good too.

A good place to find full lists of series is a group called Serious Overload of Series (SOS) It has lists of completed series, in progress series, simialr, ect and they are in order so it is good for finding the order of the books and the group can makes great suggestions.

Hope this helps!

The Warriors of Poseidon series basically follows 7 warriors of the lost continent Atlantis who have pledged their lives to the God Poseidon to protect humanity. When Atlantis fell some of the Jewel's of Poseidon's Trident were lost. They have to find them and keep them from the Vampire's. All the jewels have special powers The Vampire's in this series are known to humans and even have their own house of congress. Basically the Vampires are the bad guys in this series. There are some Shape Shifters but mostly just super hot warriors.
