SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

THE END: Past, Present & Future
Tracking those series that have or will be ending

I was recently hunting the internet for series that will be ending with a 2011 release. I found it to be a harder task than I thought it'd be. If there's such a resource, I'm missing it.

So, I thought I'd create a space where we can track them. Please, add to the list any PNR/UF/Fantasy (YA or adult) series that you know of that have or will be ending.

My OCDemon politely asks that you include the following information with your post(s). Thanks so much!

Name of Series by author name
Name (or link) to first book in the series
Date the series ended/s

* HINT: If you click on "other editions" when using the 'add book/author' link, you'll be shown the publication date(s) of each edition. An easy way to get the date of the last book in the series. :)

** If you are guessing about the end date/last book based on an author's blog post or other source, please state that in your post. IE: An author will sometimes say, "I've been contracted to write 6 novels in the XYZ series", leading us to believe it'll end with #6. Sometimes that's the end and sometimes the series continues on for whatever reason.

NOTE: For those interested, don't forget about our Spin-Offs Thread where we've been tracking existing and upcoming series spin-offs. :)

This will also be a great resource for those that like to read a series once all the available books have been published. Allowing you to breeze through them one after the other, without the sometimes long painful waits in-between releases.

~*~'Iron Fey' by Julie Kagawa was originally a trilogy ending this year with the release of The Iron Queen, however a 4th book has been added The Iron Knight which is told from Ash's POV and also released later this year. Whether this is really going to be the last book, who knows?~*~

I think The Mortal Instruments is ending in 2011. I thought it already ended, but a 4th is coming out in 2011.

Steph - Fever series - that doesn't look right? I think you meant 1/2011 and fist one is the Darkfever?

You're right, Kristen. It was said to be a trilogy, but there is one more book coming out this year.

Mortal Instruments (#1-4) by Cassandra Clare (YA - Vampire, Hunter) ENDING: 2/2011
1st book: City of Bones SCRUB! LOL!

Thanks, Wan. By then I wasn't seeing straight. LOL! All fixed. :)

Josie wrote: "Here's a couple of possible ones (you can delete this post afterwards if you want to keep it neat lol)"

LOL! Thanks, Josie. I'll get back to this one. Too time-consuming at the moment. But, thanks for adding to the list. :)

Haha, that's ok!
I'm pretty sure though that the 4th one of 'Mortal Instruments' is not the end, I reckon there are going to be at least 6.
#4. City of Fallen Angels
#5. City of Lost Souls
#6. City of Heavenly Fire



The other day Cassandra Clare said that this, I suppose you could call it 'second trilogy', will have two people on the covers instead of one to separate them a bit from the first 3 books. I've just realised that that was a really random pointless thing to say lol but oh well :)

Shoot. I knew that. LOL! Thanks, Josie!

I've edited my original post Steph, feel free to do as you wish with it or let me know if I've made any mistakes :)

:) Ah, you're so nice. Thanks, Josie.

:D Thanks, Inga! I will be reading Primal Hunger this month and hopefully the others shortly there after. Good to know what to expect down the road.
