I'm in the middle of Moning's Fever series (PNR fae races). It's not YA, but most of the YA I want to read is on a long wait list at the library right now.

Strange Angels was really good. She is a Vancouver Washignton author, local for me. She started adult paranormal novels first. they are gritty kick butt types.
I liked her toned down a little YA book.

Karen'e Fever Sries is awesome.. It totally keeps you guessing and has lots of action, bad scary things/people, love/sexual tension and magic.

yea so far i really like Dru reminds me of Rose from VA it has that same kick but kind if thing going on.

VICKY-
if you like Strange Angels then might i suggest

i love this book!

Thanks, it sounds good, it reminds a little of Blood and Chocolate and another series about Werecats by Rachel Vincent. I really like that series too. http://rachelvincent.com/shifters.htm
Havw you heard of the Shifters series?
It is an awesome series.

RV's shifters are my favorite shifters. Black Werecats > Wolves any day of the week.

i haven't read it but its good?

Shifters is great!

Agreed. The Shifters series is one of my all-time favorites. The suspense! O_O

I started with "Fallen" last night and also heard a lot good stuff about the Shifter series... is on my tbr.

I started Wings a day or two ago and so far....it is sadly a little too boring for me. I'm listening to the audiobook, so I think the narrator's voice has something to do with it, but still, the plot itself is lacking. There are interesting parts and some good scenes, but overall it's letting me down. I'm not THAT far into it yet though, so we'll see if it picks up! I'm hoping for that!

I thought wings was okay. i bought Spells but haven't read it yet.

I need some advice which book should I start next Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2)

Ashes To Ashes (blood ties #3)

or The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #2)


I canrt decide lol.

Vampire Academy!!! i love that series!

Eyes Like Stars
This is what I am reading. I love the humor in the book =)

oh is this book good?? i keep seeing it as the bookstore but never know if i should get it or not.

Wait on Anita Blake...that series goes downhill the further you get into it.

I'd say VA. Then if you really like vamps, try Morganville Vampires.

And Aiyanna, did you read all the Mortal Instruments books yet? I know that you've been posting on the threads, but if you haven't finished that series, you should do that one next, seriously!

funny you should say that i am reading it now and so far it is Amazing!

Im reading these at the moment...but Linger is my main focus..its so delicious.

i love linger so good how is sleepless??

SO, I'm replying to my own (older) post because I'm further in the story and I'm really starting to like it. Just didn't want anyone to NOT read it, because I had said it was boring. It started out that way, but it's really picking up! The plot is getting pretty interesting. The narrator's voice is still incredibly annoying, but that has nothing to do with the plot!!

Im going to start the 2nd VA book. I have read all the morganville books and I love that series!

I really liked Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz. VA is my favorite though. "Shifters" is another one of my favorites. It is about werecats.

Blue Blood by Melissa De La Cruz is really good. But I never got to read the the 2nd book.

Whats on my list for reading is
Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
I cant wait till Oct. When the 2nd one comes out!
Torment By Lauren Kate
I am not in such a rush to go on the 2nd book when it comes out in Sep. But its in my list.

Have any good books that i can add to my list? Right now I'm looking for like fallen angels kind of books.

are they i have them but have not read them they are good?

Immortal by Gillian Shields
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
The Mortal Instruments
Kissed by An Angel trilogy by Elisabeth Chandler
These are some good ones!

Beautiful Creatures is A-MAZE-ING!

Thanks for the recommendation - Raised by Wolves - I put it on hold at my library!

Another YA vampire novel - Sunshine by Robin McKinley.
She usually writes expanded fairytales or fantasy stuff.
It was before the Twilight craze! Shannon Hale does some great work too on expanded fairytales.

i bought Sunshine is it good??

I love the Succubus Blues - Georgina Kincaid Series by Richelle Mead.
If you like her try Keri Arthur's Riley Jensen series.
It is one of my all time favorites. The lead is half were/half vamp and she has a twin brother. It is a very kick butt series and all 8 books are out now. The Fever series is a new favorite by Karen Marie Moning.

If anyone here has an ereader or uses an ebook app, the first ebook of the Fever series (Darkfever) is free almost everywhere (Amazon, B&N and Sony last time I checked). Just a warning though - this is an adult series with sexual content, but thought I'd mention the "free-ness" since the previous poster listed the series.

Yes, all three are adult series. A lot of these authors cross over and do YA and adult series. I like them both!
Of course the YA are a lot cleaner. LOL
Lili St. Crow also writes adult. I actually like her YA Strange Angels a little better. Her adult ones are really gritty. Thanks for pointing it out - I should have!

Here is one more plug for another great adult series...The Mercedes Thompson Series is a series of urban fantasy novels written by Patricia Briggs that follow the adventures of Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson, a Native American shapeshifter who was raised by Werewolves. The series is set in the Tri-Cities area of Washington state in an alternate world in which Werewolves and certain types of the fae have been forced to reveal themselves to the public. The series follows Mercy, a VW mechanic by trade, as she learns her true nature and is caught up in the affairs of the local werewolf pack, led by Adam, the Alpha who lives next door, and the local vampire seethe, a member of which she has befriended.

Sorry - I will try to stick to YA only. Sometimes i forget which link I am following.

no its cool i have a discussion dedicated to PC Cast's "Goddess Summoning" series and that is an adult series

im reading Burned!! and im almost done!!

I read a mix of YA and adult, so I'm constantly taking suggestions from both, and I forget to mention adult content myself sometimes. I just figured it couldn't hurt to say that the series did have some sexual content. The Fever series is a good one though. :)

oh!!! how do you like it???
