Have you tried Kim Harrison's Hollows Series?
its actually a teen series and there are like 40 books but its the fearless series. francine pascal is the author. they are pretty good.
Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series is amazing.
Have you read Trish McCallans Forged in Fire? It's slightly paranormal (psychics) and is the first in what will be a new series? It's pretty damn fine :-) (check my review). Or Laura Kaye's North of Need was brilliant - and is the first in a new series. (Yummy Snow God brought to life). Again, check out my review :-)Failing that, how about a complete change of genre? Suzanne Brockmann's HOT Navy Seals, or some historicals perhaps :-)
I think I'm going to give the Kate Daniels ones a try! Thanks :)
I do not think you will be disappointed. They are really good. Need some more recommends, give me a shout I have lots.
Try the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole. This series has all myriads of paranormal beings, such as vampires, werewolves, Valkyries, phantom, demons, sorcessors, fey, witches, and fury. It is very well written and the overall story arc is compelling. Start with A Hunger Like No Other. This series is on my auto buy list.
I read the first couple of the immortals after dark, but couldn't get passed the winters night one
Maybe try the Jane True series. The main character is a selkie.
I've moved this over to the recommendations thread.The Jane True sereis is really amazing.
I would also recommed
it's a really unique take on demons.If you want something a little darker for demon try out
I am also a fan of the Kate Daniels' series. And I suggest Kelley Armstrong Otherworld series (though some of the books do have werewolves in them). I like her adult and YA books.
I suggest the Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter or the Alien huntress series by her.
The Atlantis series by Gena Showalter is a great series. I would recommend it. One book revolves around vampires, but most of the books do not. There are dragons, nymphs, and Amazonians.
Here are some suggestions for NON VAMP/WERE books (although I bet you might have missed some of the lesser known but FABULOUS vamp/were books like Anno Dracula (Kim Newman), The Last Werewolf (Glen Duncan), Already Dead (Charlie Huston) all of which are better written and more memorable than most of the formulaic vamp/were books on the market. Here are different books you might try:
Black, Jenna The Devil Inside demon
Carey, Mike The Devil You Know demon
Connolly, Harry Child of Fire demon
Rowland, Diana Mark of the Demon demon
Hearne, Kevin Hounded Druid, gods
Bell, Alex The Ninth Circle fantasy
Green, Simon R Something from the Nightside
Hanover, MLN Unclean Spirits
Jones, Jaida HaveMercy
Kadrey, Richard Sandman Slim
Moore, Christopher The Stupidest Angel
Novik, Naomi His Majesty's Dragon
Williams, Liz The Snake Agent
McGuire, Seanan Rosemary and Rue
Richardson, Kat Greywalker
Saintcrow Lilith Working for the Devil
Weldon, Phaedra Wraith
Troop Alan The Dragon delaSangre
Henry, Mark Happy Hour of the Damned
Robert J. Cranehas some great books out right now. He has two series: one is The Sanctuary series and he has two novels out in it, Defender and Avenger, and two novellas too. It's about guilds that go out and look for adventure. It is a fantasy novel with elves, trolls, wizards, knights, druids, etc. It is very exciting and has a sprinkling of romance here and there. It also has some major humor in it too.The second series he has out is: The Girl in the Box : with Alone being the first book.
This book is super awesome. It has a female heroine in it who is a very kick butt kind of girl. If I had to compare it to something; maybe like X Men but a lot darker.
I hope you find something you like, and they are no vamps or weres in these.

I've read the blackdagger brotherhood, anita blake, mercy thompson, gardella vamp..."A new series that is quite different is the Telepathic Clans Saga. The first book, The Succubus Gift is out in most eBook stores, and the next two books in the series will be released this summer. Yo can read an excerpt on Amazon or my web site for free to see if you like the flavor.
Stefanie, are you specifically looking for urban fantasy/preternaturals or are you open to alternatives?I found the following fantasy series to be thoroughly enjoyable! (none of them are of the epic variety)
Dawn Cook (aka Kim Harrison) -
Truth series Bk1 -First Truth.
(PLEASE don't let the covers of these put you off! They suck! and look NOTHING like how the author describes her!)
Michelle Sagara West - Chronicles of Elantra
Its a fantastic world! and the characters are great, plus with the number of new races introduced its refreshing after all the vamps!!
Of course, if you're look Urban/preternatural, then you could try Richelle Mead - Her Dark Swan series was pretty good! (FEY), Rachel Caine - Weather Wardens..
In the slightly more YA genre: Jenna Black's Faeriewalker series,or her new series Descendant
or Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series...
The Kate Daniels Series is EXCELLENT!!!
Of Course, there's also Karen Chance - Cassandra Palmer - it does have vamps in it, but the focus is more on the magics and mages!!
Samantha - who's the author??I might see if I can get my hands on a copy to try...
Mod
If you want something really different try Unholy Ghosts - very dark and gritty. Wonderful world building and nothing like anything else I have read. The series gets better and better. Kate Daniels is a good pick though. Definitely my top series together with the Fever series.
Oh, and Kate Daniels also just gets better and better. Just in case you feel a tad bit unsure as you are reading book 1. Book 4 and 5 were amazing.
you should def. try the demonica series then! amazing demon series. And it's got an even better spin off series ;)the first in the demonica series
the first in the spin off series
when you finally do wanna get back to vampires. A must read is the night huntress series. My all time fav series!!

Faith Savage - Demon Huntress

Faith's Temptation
This angel/demon world K. A. M’Lady has made is very addictive and is a great start to a great series.
Steph - Bitten By Books ~ 4 1/2 Tombstones
Glow - Book 1 ~ A Faith Savage Demon Huntress Novel
I loved this story and I definitely want more.
Steph - Bitten By Books - 4 Tombstones
Fear No Evil - Book 2 ~ A Faith Savage Demon Huntress Novel
I am chilled by just the idea of seeing demons, let alone being dragged to Hell. There are many stories about
demon possession, but the thought of being controlled by something that frightening is terrible. The visual
descriptions of what the demon did to the possessed lady brought back memories of the movie, The Exorcist.

"YUM! I am in love with your series. I just went to mojocastle and purchased the rest of your books! I had
to...Thank you for the immense pleasure given to me as I read your tale."

Scary, suspenseful, exciting...
I read all the Faith Savage stories at once and I'm so glad I did. If I'd had to wait to read the next one in
the series, I don't know what I would have done. Faith is feisty, strong, vulnerable as she fights the forces
of Hell. Lots of demon action in the stories, lots of scary stuff, and some hot sex. If you like supernatural
thrillers, you'll love the Faith Savage stories. And who knew angels and demons were so sexy?
Author, Cara Marsi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning God created the Heavens, the Earth…and Angels. No one is certain when the war started – when
the Angels went astray. All that is clear is that war erupted in Heaven and the Angels fell from Grace. Today
that war continues.
My name is Faith Savage, and I hunt demons. Some say that God has a master plan for all of us – from an Angel’s
first breath to mankind’s final death. Somewhere in between lays the battle for salvation.

Thanks! I will add that to my TR list. :)

For something different, try the Sentinel Wars series by Shannon K Butcher. It starts with 
Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews, is an amazing series. I also like her "Edge" series. At the moment one of my favorite series is "October Daye" by Seanan Mcguire. The first is called "Rosemary and rue". This one is more focused on the fae. "Summer Tree" the first book of Fionavar Tapestry, by Guy Gavriel Kay is also a great book. It's a mixture of contemporary with fantasy.
The Fever Series, by Karen Marie Moning, Excellent!!!!

I'm looking for something different. I've read merry gentry, the fever series and I just finished the hunger games series which I LOVED! If anyone has any good suggestions along these lines, i'd really appreciate the help! An 8 hour work day feels like 15 hours without a good book! Thanks :)
