Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Hey All!
I have read a lot of novels and I have mostly favored series that gravitate around female kickass humor filled heroines, preferably dealing in the paranormal and recently I have come to the realization that I don’t have a series to start up on again. I figured I’d list a bunch of series that I enjoyed immensely and recommend to anyone highly and hopeful get some good recommendations in return.
Thank you in advance! (:

Kara Gillian Series by Diana Rowland
Bloodhound Files Series by D.D Barant
Charley Davidson Series by Darynda Jones
Cassandra Palmer Series by Karen Chance
Riley Jenson Guardian Series by Keri Arthur
The Hollows Series by Kim Harrison
Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris
Kate Daniels Series by Ilona Andrews
World of the Lupi Series by Eileen Wilks
Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost
Anita Blake Series by Laurell K Hamilton – Read the whole series by got very drawn out after a while, wished Ms Hamilton brought back the kickass loving Anita back from the beginnings of the series
Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh – I liked this series until the novels switched its focus off of the main character. I tend to not like series that do this but I highly recommend, this author brought about a great supernatural world.

I just started reading the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. With each book, I like it more. Mercy is a great character! It's a popular series, and when I read the first one (Moon Called), I wasn't sure why people loved it so much. But I continued and just love it now. Another series I liked was Richele Meade's succubus series. It's been quite awhile since I read it, so I don't know if I would describe the lead character as " kick ass," but I could really relate to her and liked her quite a bit.
I love Kim Harrison's Hollow series too. I will have to look at the others you mentioned.

Have you tried any of Kelley Armstrong's series? I am a fan of her adult and YA books (though the YA aren't quite as good as the adult - IMHO).

Also what about the Fever Series? I had to struggle to get into the first one ... not a fan of Mac at first, but overall, enjoyed them. Darkfever

Not a female lead - which I too prefer - but I am currently working my way through the Dresden Files as well, and enjoying them a fair bit. Storm Front

I recommend Linda Robertson's series's circle it's about witchs werewolfs and vampires.she has written 6 books so far,and I love them all.

I wascgoing to tecokmend the succubus series but i see itvwas already done. If you dont mind YA the thevDemon Hunter series by Jana Oliver isbgood. It has a kickass girl in it. Only girl as a matter of fact with all guys. I really liked it. As for any others i wad thinking you seemed to have covered them also. I've kinda been trying to catch up on alot of books i haven't finished series too. Idk if you like these kind of books but imreading the last book in the immortal series city of glass, city of bones, clockworkwork prince, clockwork princess..beforevthe 1st ,ovie comes ourlt i'll be rereading them.

what about black dagger brotherhood. or charlaine Harris series

Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin series. I've read two of them so far and it is very good.



There's also the spinoff series from Riley Jenson - it's pretty good.


Rachel Caine has a wonderful series called Weather Wardens. Great heroine, amazing Djinn hero, nonstop action.

I second the Mercy Thompson series, especially if you like a completed series since the last book Frost Burned is coming out this year. Mercy is absolutely the most lovable heroine there is.

Have you read Rhiannon's Law???



Excellent series with humor, kickass heroine and sexy vamp.....

2nd the recommendation on the Dark Angels Series (spin off of the Riley Jenson series) and the Mercy Thompson has been a great series as well. Anya Bast has 2 series the Dark Magic Series and the Enchantment Series that are both very good IMO. Love Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series, though she's not really kick ass she holds her own pretty well. Kimberly Frost has a Southern Witch Series which I have just fallen in love with. Love that one so much.

I can't believe I forgot the Jane True Series by Nicole Peeler!! The heroine is great and does quite a bit of growing throughout this series. She kicks ass.

Thank you all for your recommendations thus far (:
From all of your posts 3 series caught my attention
- The riley jenson spin off
- Jennifer estep’s elemental assassin series
- Rihannon’s Law Series
Also, I have heard highly of Kelley Armstrong in general but not a specific series of hers, does anyone recommend one? I tend to stay away from the YA side just because its not as fun ;) And I tend to like series that keep to the same main character throughout
* P.S I am sorry I am so picky lol and if you all haven’t checked out some of the series I have mentioned you should definitely give them a try

Kelley Armstrong DOES NOT keep the same main character throughout all her books - aka Women of the Otherworld. - but Elena (main character of Bitten) does appear or is mentioned in all those books), so, if you are up for it, I would start with Bitten. The Elena narrated books are my favs. The YA books are trilogies. Each trilogy keeps the same main character.

Thanks so much Meghan, will definitely check Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld

Try the Elemental Series by Elizabeth Hunter. I posted each book in your other thread.

Book One is .

Thank you! Looks great, just added to my 'to read' list
