Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) So I'm finishing up the last book in the Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane - Excellent!

I hate finishing a good series though, because it's hard to find another one that doen't fall flat in comparison.

Some of my Favs are:

Fever By Karen Marie Moning

Night Huntress By Jeaniene Frost

The Hallows (Rachel Morgan) By Kim Harrison

Sookie Stackhouse By Charlaine Harris

Vampire Academy By Richelle Mead

Downside Ghosts By Stacia Kane

Stephanie Plum series By: Janet Evanovich


Series that wern't really my cup of tea :


Psy Changling series By Nalini Singh

Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill

Kitty Norville Series By Carrie Vaughn

Shifters by Rachel Vincent




Any suggestions on what to read next? I would love to fall in love with a new series :) OH and please make sure the main couple are the same throughout the books please.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) I'm thinking of starting Bitten (Women of the Otherworld #1)

looks like it's got some amazing reviews and one gal even said she liked it better than the Fever series... Whoa...

: )

Fani *loves angst* (fanip) I recommend Mind Games (The Disillusionists Trilogy, #1) by Carolyn Crane and Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane, #1) by Jaye Wells . I think they both fit your requirements


message 4: by Kelleigh (new)

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Thanks Fani - I've actually read the first two Sabina Kane books - do they get better after that? I wasn't too impressed with the first two.

And I'll have to check out Mind Games! I have never heard of that!

: )

ஐAndreaஐ (rosesrrblue) | 707 comments Did you read the two adult series by Richelle Mead?
Storm Born (Dark Swan, #1) by Richelle Mead & Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) by Richelle Mead

I'm reading the new Jeaniene Frost book about Vlad right now and am loving it. Damn he's hott!
Once Burned (Night Prince, #1) by Jeaniene Frost


message 6: by Kelleigh (new)

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Andrea, I'm pretty sure I've read Succubus Blues, but not Storm Born


message 7: by ஐAndreaஐ (new)

ஐAndreaஐ (rosesrrblue) | 707 comments I love all three of Richelle Mead's series. She's great at getting a range of emotions out of me. Both the books I mentioned above are first books in a series if you enjoyed the succubus book, they only get better and there are 5 more. but if you didn't like it, you may not like storm born either.

Good Luck I hope you find your next great series :)

Actually, I've only read the first two myself but unlike you, I loved them:) They do say they get better later, but if you're not impressed already I'd give up if I were you.


message 9: by Kelleigh (new)

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Hmm... Well if I don't get any more recommendations I just might pick it back up. lol

I've read most of the books in the Women of the Otherworld series, I only have a few to go, and I really love them. Some of the books in the series aren't as good as the others, in my opinion, my favourites would have to be books 1,2,8 and 10 so far. The changing in the narrators takes time to get used to but I'd definitely recommend reading them.

I'd also recommend the Dark Swan series by Richelle Mead, that series makes you go through so many emotions, some good, some bad but I think it's a great series.


Northwest_booknerd Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson novels are great!!! The first one is Moon Called and I think there are 6 books total they there is a spin off called Alpha and Omega and the first book is called Cry wolf. I would have to say they are some of the best book I have ever picked up. A few others I like are Karen Maclinerney's Tales of an urban werewolf and Keri Arthur's Riley Jenson guardin series and its spin off A dark angels novel and there is always Cassandra Clare's The mortal instrument series. Have you read the Hunger games books?? They are really good.


message 12: by Kelleigh (new)

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Tessa! I love the Mercy Thompson books. I've read Riley Jenson, as well as The Hunger Games and the Mortal Instruments :)

I have not however, read the Spin off Alpha and Omega. Do you know how many books will be in the series? I like it best if most or all of them are out :)

Thanks for the suggestions!


message 13: by Kelleigh (new)

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Well, I'm a little discouraged, I went to buy Stormborn from Amazon (for my kindle) and it's currently not available... weird...


message 14: by Natasha (new)

Natasha McNeely (nrfarrell) | 14 comments I'd recommend Ilona Andrews' books, namely the Kate Daniels series, and the On The Edge series.

Book one for both, respectively: Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, #1) by Ilona Andrews On the Edge (The Edge, #1) by Ilona Andrews

Both excellent series with romance, intriguing paranormal, and lots of action and overall interesting plots.


message 15: by Kelleigh (new)

Kelleigh (goodreadscomsunshine2047) Thanks Natasha! I've read the Kate Daniels series - It was only ok for me to be honest. I'll have to check out the One The Edge series though!

: )


message 16: by Natasha (new)

Natasha McNeely (nrfarrell) | 14 comments No problem! The other series is great; it focuses more on the world, rather than one set of characters. Each book has different main characters with brief appearances from the main characters of the other books. It's interesting how Ilona Andrews ties it together. :)
