Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

I go in and out of phases of books and genres that I become obsessed with, and right now it is everything fae! I was scrolling through lists on here like I usually do, and I ordered a dozen library books. One book that came to me was Darkfever by Karen Moning. I thought nothing of it as I started reading it, but then within a couple of chapters, I became enraptured. I read all of the FEVER series in four days. Now, I have no idea what to do with myself. I'm trying to find a good fae series, but it is so hard. Right now I'm trying to hold myself over by reading Karen Moning's highlander series, but I miss Barrons and Mac and the magnificant fae world and Dublin! One of my favorite series is also The Iron King Series by Julie Kawaga.
Okay so I need help for real...
I really love the fae world, but I like urban settings too.(But I really fell in love with Iron King's World).
I also liked how in Darkfever the main character when to Ireland to investigate. I like the different, out of country, setting.
I love romance and forbidden romance. Barrons and Mac were so angsty OMG. I love the idea of humans falling in love with fae.
I like strong female leads, but I really need a sexy paranormal fae guy.
IT NEEDS TO HAVE AN AWESOME PLOT TOO!
I really want to read some sort of fae romance series, but I will settle for angels or gods.
I really can't read another vampire/werewolf/ghost book right now.
*Also I cannot deal with any main characters dying or love interests so please don't do that to me
SO PLEASE IF YOU HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO FIX ME. I need something to get me out of the slump, or else I might start the Fever series again!

Self-serving, I know, but here are my books that fit the bill, or mostly, depending on if you count the djinn as fae.

Yesterday's Dreams Tomorrow's Memories Today's PromiseBad Ass Faeries Bad-Ass Faeries: It's Elemental Bad Ass Faeries 2: Just Plain Bad In All Their Glory The Halfling's Court: A Bad-Ass Faerie Tale The Redcaps’ Queen: A Bad-Ass Faerie Tale Baba Ali and the Clockwork Djinn

Best,

Danielle

I have to agree with Shari Kay. The Fae Chronicles is an awesome series! I just happened upon it too after reading KMM Fever series. It did not disappoint!! She is currently working on the rest of the series too. I am going to keep an eye on Amelia because I feel like she's got a good thing going and could possibly rise in the ranks with KMM. You should check them out!!

Jennifer Ashley's Shifter series has some fae in the storyline. Especially the second book

If you don't mind YA (although it is more 'adult' YA)

I don't read a lot of fey books. But I liked this series by Christie Rich. It's NA.

These don't center around Fae, but there is quite a bit of Fae action in them:



Then these books are centered around Fae, I read the first book and didn't like it that much, but maybe you would.

Oh, definitely read this YA series, which is now finished. All fae related and interesting, especially the first book.

I ordered in from the library, so I will read it as soon as it comes in! Thanks so much!

I loved Karen Marie Moning's books.

Tairen Soul Series by C. L. Wilson is a good one for the Fae. Do not judge these by the covers!

October Day is worth the read! Maybe for Urban Fantasy, but good Fae series.

You're welcome, they are a different sort of story and quite interesting I thought.

I really liked The Magic Knot Fairy series by Helen Scott Taylor. The setting is based in England and Ireland.

Helen Scott Taylor

The Magic Knot
The Phoenix Charm
The Ruby Kiss

Was it really good? The synopsis drove me away.

Most of the fae books I've read and loved have already been mentioned here but one that hasn't is , which is a really great fae series.

A really amazing fae book?

This is my all time favourite fae series: A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas

Book 1: A Court of Thorns and Roses
Book 2: A Court of Mist and Fury
Book 3: A Court of Wings and Ruin (To be released May 2017)

ACOMAF is my favourite. I'm still not over it and eagerly awaiting ACOWAF.

There is a brilliant plot. There is unequivocal love. There is sacrifice. There is a strong female protagonist. There is danger. There is violence. There is politics. There is secrets. There is the dream team. There is the different courts. There is the fae world and how it ties to humans.

It is absolutely brilliant.

The fifth book is still to come, but HEA looking good!

I also highly recommend .

is also another great fae series.

Emma Leech Les Corbeaux series? Very angsty, french vampires and fae lords.

Fun Fae Series:

1. A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES by Sarah J. Maas
2. Elder Races by Thea Harrison ( Fae, Wyr, Dragons, Smexy, alternate fae worlds and war between light and dark fae)
3. The Bargainer series by Laura Thalassa

All three series involve: humans and fae, heavy romantic element, strong female leads, and plenty of yummy adult content. In my opinion all have very different and unique/alternate world building, but really you should just go read ACOTAR it will ruin your life in the best way. Cheers!

Forgive my shameless plug but I have two historical Fae romance in my A Faerie Tale series.
The Enchanted just won the 2017 Sceal award from Books and Benches and is available in audio


The Beloved Book 2. Both are stand-alone.

Congrats! Not a shameless plug but a wonderful announcement of a job well done.

(The Fae Chronicles) by Amelia Hutchins was so good

I totally agree- this is the best series and A Court of Mist and Fury is one of the best books I've ever written. The writing isn't perfect, but Sarah Maas is an expert at relationship building . The third book fell short for me, I had very high expectations for it, but still enjoyed it.

Grave Witch Great series and it centers around both the fae and witches so it's a lot of fun.
