Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

I've read so many of the PNR books that I no longer know what to read. I could give a list of the ones that I have read but it would take me a long time. I thought it would be easier to just tell you if I have or have not read the books you recommend.

Mt favorite series are the B.D.B.'s, the Night huntress (love cat&bones, Demonica, I.A.D. and many more...


I guess what I am asking is what are your favorite series and why? That might help me choose what I should read next.

Hi Julie!

Night Huntress is my favorite too. Bones is amazing, cat is bad ass, there is a lot of action and the story has a great pace, I'm never bored.

Two series that I didn't see on your list that are really good are:






both of these series have kick ass heroins, hot leading men and are great stories.

Have you read the Fever series?

I love night huntress! I really don't have any to recommend but I hear the "Kitty Norville" and "Chicagoland Vampires" series are really good.

OOh, the Fever Series is awesome too!

I second the Fever series. Also love Patricia Briggs Alpha and Omega (Mercy Thompson is on my list but I haven't read any yet so I can't speak to those).


My favorite series is Shelly Laurenston's Pride series. If you haven't read those, I highly recommend them.

I heard "Alpha and Omega" is really good.

Chicagoland Vampire series rocks. It is a great series!

You have already read Cat and Bones, have you read the spin off series at all? They are good, not as good as the original but you do get an inside look into some of the characters of the Night Huntress Series.

The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs is great too. She has another series that I have heard great things about but I haven't read them yet.

Rhyannon Bryd- Blood Runners- 3 books
Tales of an Urban Werewolf- Karen Macinerney -3
Karen Marie Monning- Meredith Gentry series HOT!!!
Anya Bast- Elemental witches series- (diffrent)

I really love them. The only complaint I have is the amount of time between books. Ms. Briggs concentrates more on the Mercy series, so new Alpha and Omega often gets pushed back. The third book was supposed to be out by now but the release day got pushed back twice already and now is scheduled for early 2012. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this release date sticks.

I second Mercy Thompson. She's a lot of fun.

So I know these are sci-fi recommendations but sometimes you need a little change; especially if you've been reading PNR over and over (been there, done that, had to venture out into a new genre)! ;)

Anyways, these books were a great new experience for me when I was desperate for that intense book-love feeling. Neither of them are intense sci-fi so you might like them!

CAT-STAR CHRONICLES - LOVE THESE BOOKS - SLAVE is my FAV!!! Think about a handsome man with cat features that purrs when you hit all the right buttons (and he has snard - you'll have to read the book to find out what this is)!



Katherine "Kitty" Katt Series - Think Men in Black meet the Rachel Morgan series! There are tons of fine men running around and lots of action!

RIGHT ON!!! thank you everyone. I'll use this to make a list of what to read next. I didn't think I was going to get so many recommendations so fast! :) This is awesome. You guys/girls are great.... I'm going to keep you around for a while! lol.

I think the Meredith Gentry series is by Laurell K. Hamilton... if I'm not mistaken.

I've read the Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha and Omega series. They were awesome.

I haven't read the Pride series yet but I have read the Magnus pack series. I read all three books in two days. lol. I just couldn't put them down. I think I might pick up the Pride series next. I'm just finishing the Demonica series now. SO GOOD! lol.

I added the Cat-Star to my list. They look interesting. I had never heard of them b4. I keep trying to get my hubby to purr for me... he won't! lol. maybe these books will give me hints on where to rub! *giggles.

You'll have to let me know what you think about it after you have a chance to read it!

I will for sure. After the Pride series, I'll read the Cat-Star chronicles.

In my opinion, the Pride series is even better than the Magnus pack series. The characters are a bit more likable without losing the quirky craziness that makes them so different. But I did love both series.

That's great to hear. I really enjoyed the Magnus Pack series so that would mean that I am going to like the Pride series even more!! That makes me really excited to start on the books! I'll let you know what I think of them!

Me too I had not heard about the Cat-Star chronicle books I will definitely take a look.If you have not read the fever series by karen moning or the kate daniel series by iliona andrews then I suggest you start now lol.

Fever series by Karen Moning

The Elemental Assisin series

Kate Daniels series


Guild Hunter (the men in this book are too sexy)


The Hunger Games (very different and amazing)

I love the Chicagoland Vampires series and cant wait for the next book to come out Tuesday.

I would definitely recommend the Guild Hunter Series. Love the characters.



And also the Midnight Breed Series by Lara Adrain is also good.

<-- coming out in June

I love the Kitty Norville series--have read 'em all and have the latest book on pre-order. Kitty is a great blend of a kick-ass heroine with some vulnerabilities.

I would try the Shifter series by Rachel Vincent

You should check out Lords of the Underworld... my favorite series :)

1. Mortal Instruments
2. Iron Fey
3. Seven Tears Into The Sea
4. Trylle Trillogy

lol! cullen-slavatore-northman-lord! which cullen and which salvatore. mine are damon and emmett.

I love Laurenston.

I always recommend The Celta Series by Robin Owens. It doesn't get enough attention.

I just read Dragon Bound, the start of the Elder Races series by Thea Harrison. The bomb.

I know there are only two books out so far but I read them both in a couple of days. I think its going to be one of my favorites.

I liked Shiver ...

Oh and Entwined was really good!

I forgot about this series... I wanted to read it. Thanks for the reminder!! :)

Tales of Aradia: The Last Witch I recommend Tales of Aradia the Last Witch its the first volume in it series and really cool. Full of romance, fun, and supernatural.

The Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead is one of my favourites

You might try Awaken the Highland Warrior. A treasure seeking historian finds a 19th century Scottish warrior buried in a crypt, but the warrior isn't dead. He's just been sleeping for 150 years. It's just been released and I have several reviewers comparing it to Karen Marie Moning's books, which puts me in awe. Just a suggestion.
Awaken the Highland Warrior|9645632]

I like Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters a lot.
