Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

You know, when you couldn't put it down and when you were done all you could think was 'WOW'. I feel like I need one of those.

For me it was



What's yours?

Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione

For me the last book that had me go "WOW" was Shadowfever the final book in Karen Marie Moning's series. The whole series from beginning to end was great, but book five...I just couldn't stop turning the pages to find out what happened next.

Everneath by Brodi Ashton (it was an ARC) and Masquerade by Cambria Hebert (also an ARC). Both of them were amazing and I gobbled them up. I just couldn't get enough and I was so sad when they ended.

I love getting immersed in stories like that.

I have actually read quite a few great books this year that were like that for me in all different genres.

Easy call - my best read of 2011! The book was wonderful, the audiobook beautiful and just bought two copies of the book for my daughters in law for Christmas.

I agree Terry, that book was amazing!
I can't wait for the next to come out!

I'm with Bridget, Shadowfever was my last outstanding book.

by GA Aiken. Absolutely loved it. I couldn't put it down and felt like pouting when I had to be a grown up for a bit and do some actual work around the house. Were some hysterical parts and then some that had me a blubbering mess crying so hard.

For non PNR and by Pamela Clare. She does so much research and creates such a rich world so you really feel like you are there. Characters you love and ones you love to hate. I had these on my self for over a year and couldn't get myself to read then and when I finally did wanted to kick myself for not reading them sooner I loved them so much.

I agree with Terry and Mlpmom, was great. And so was . Loved them both.

The last great book I read was . I still can't get the characters out of my mind. :)

For me it was .

Another vote for . It was an awesome end to a great series.

. I found this gem in my local library (albeit with a different cover) and absolutely fell in love.

My 2011 Best of the Best
First Grave on the Right
Master of Crows(erotic)

Just started this series the other day and I can’t put it down. There are not many books that make me want to rush home from work every day just so I can read them, but this is one of them that does that. I just hope it keeps getting better because it has so many directions it can go. :)

Probably...

Okay, you'll have to trust me about these books because the covers are awful and the titles aren't any better!!! and I ended up loving both of these books.

It would have to be for me. That cliffhanger we were all waiting for had me on edge for months. It was a great ending.

It's tough to choose. The most recent 5* book I read was But one that I couldn't get out of my head was (Hate that new cover, BTW.)

The immortal instruments series is one of the best I'v ever read, by Cassandra Clare.

Vampire academy-- also the best
Anna and the French Kiss
The Iron King- series
Any thing by Maria V. Snyder
Hex Hall
Night world series

by Richelle Mead

Lover mine by JR Ward I couldn't put it down!

The most amazing books I read lately are:

.
Unfortunately,I read a post that Madeleine Urban declared she will stop writing. I wonder if the series will be the same without her.

As for PNR romance, the best I read this year were:

Read for the first time? The Compromise

I absolutely love John! He's so sweet :)

Elisabeth Naughton's series. I can't wait to find out about the rest of the Argonauts, Argolean and Misos.

shadowfever by KMM was by far the best book ive read in a while!

I've got a new one that I just finished reading:

Without a doubt, KMM's Darkfever is my personal favorite. A distant second is Jeaniene Frost Halfway to the Grave and Richelle Mead Succubus Blues. Then perhaps the Warden Dark Lover and Kressley ColeA Hunger Like No Other.

The Cowboy and The Vampire
This one is amazing! 5 Star one. :)

Lisa...it was not the best book I have ever read but I really think when I compare it to everything I Have read it has all the parts and pieces of a great series. I really liked this book and the characters in it.

I agree both of these were awesome!

I just finished Awake at Dawn, and it was beautifully wriiten. Can't wait till i get my hands on the next one.....

The best books I've ever read are "I am number four", "the power of six" by Pittacus Lore =)

Read a lot of wow books this year, but the most recent one is

Read a lot of beautifull written, and creative books, but the most recent one is . TOTALLY RECOMMENDABLE!

Loved this book!!!

I agree with Terry & Mlpmom, definately the best book of 2011, I couldn't put it down and can't wait for the next in the trilogy - Merry Christmas everyone

Dragonfly by Julia Golding.

And I'm just also putting The Taker by Alma Katsu just because I love that book to much.

Chicagoland vampires are a fantastic series. I highly recommend them, although the 6th one comes out in September which is a bummer.

by Deborah Harkness
