Linda Howard Book Junkies discussion

Do you have a favorite PRN Author or series??

I personally LOVE the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R.Ward and the Night Huntress/NH World/Dark Prince (photo above) series by Jeaniene Frost.

I am reading Linda Jones which seems like a PRN Romance, so far I really like it. I also like Christine Feehan.

I have not read Christine Feehan but I know she is popular....and I was not even aware that LJ had books independent of LH.

My favorites are JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark, and Chirstine Feehan's Dark Carpathian series. I read many more and discovering new favorites. There are some that I have stop reading because they became repetitive and boring like Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Black.

Have you tried Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress or Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series Nadia??

Lol Dorsey I told you already I love Cat and Bones and their spin offs. As for Midnight Breed I've read a few but I'm not into them as much I don't know why. I'm on like the 7th book, they're good but they seem a combination of BDB and Dark Carpathian series. And having read those books first and loved them Midnight Breed seemed a imitation of the two. So when I'm reading them its like been there done that kind of thing.

Well I had a "DUH moment"!! I did know that LOL.....Midnight Breed WAS a fav until I discovered so many others ;)

Since I was not familiar with Linda Jones I started reading her books. WOW I really love them. So far I have read Untouchable , 22 Nights , and Bride by command . It is a triolgy and it is really great! LJ has become my new favorite

Linda Winstead Jones has become my new favorite PRN author. I read 9 books in 12 days. It would have been faster, but the holidays slowed down my reading schedule. I just picked up The Magical Christmas Cat , an anthology of four different authors. I also got Shadow Woman (LH latest). I am looking for her other books and will let you know what I think of them.

FYI: THe Emporor's Brides (Untouchable, 22 Nights, and Bride by Command) has a couple of Prequels The Sun witch, Moon Witch, and Star witch (Fyne Witches) and Prince of Magic, Prince of Fire, and Prince of Swords. That is the order in which you need to read them.

An oldie but goodie for me is Lauren Dane i love her almost all of her series.

I've only read her Chase Bros. Series.....which I LOVED. I didn't even know she had a PRN Series Russo!! I will check it out ;)

Russo wrote: "An oldie but goodie for me is Lauren Dane i love her almost all of her series."

I have never heard of Lauren Dane. Any suggestions for the first book Russo?

I'm very picky about that genre ... very few series could have kept my attention:
JR Ward's BDB, Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed, Nalini Singh's Psy & Changelings & Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters.

Kay Hooper's Bishop/FBI series is good. Love Christine Feehan. My favorite is Lora Leigh's Breeds.

Oh, an easy question to answer. Here are a few of my most favourites:
J R Ward - The Black Dagger Braotherhood
Lara Adrian - The Midnight Breed Series
Jaeniene Frost -Night Huntress
J L Armentrout - Half Blood Series
J L Armentrout - Lux Series
Darynda Jones - Charlie Davidson Series
Madeleine

LOVE the BDB and Night Huntress books too Madeleine!! Have you read any of the Vampires in America series by DB Reynolds? It's really good!!

I like anything that Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle has written and have just about all of her books. She has a PNR series going-the Arcane Society-about people with various psychic powers which I really enjoy. I also like Dana Marie Bell's Halle Puma and Halle Shifters books and adore Shelly Laurenston's shifters. The WallflowerBear Necessities Pack ChallengeWhite Lies

I've heard great things about Shelly Laurenston Sandra. I have a few of her books on my Mt. TBR pile!

I read & enjoy it all! seriously ;)
I am most looking forward to the new tome by Laurel K Hamilton

I like Lynsay Sands' Argeneau vampire series. Shelley Laurenston is a fav, too. J.A. Saare is good also, as well as Kerrelyn Sparks' Love at Stake series.

Did one of you try The Dark Protectors Series by Rebecca Zanetti?
That seems pretty good ...

Valie wrote: "Did one of you try The Dark Protectors Series by Rebecca Zanetti?

I have read the first three books and enjoyed them.....they're not fav's but worth reading if your looking for a new PRN series.

I haven't read many PRN series except I fell into the one by Elizabeth Hunter, Elemental Mysteries, and fell in love with it.

Since reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood I have to say it is a favorite of mine. I still like Christine Feehan's Dark series. I think they run neck and neck

I've been on a Dana Marie Bell kick lately. I've read and reread both the Gray Court series (book #5 coming out in the next few months, I think) and the Maggie's Grove series (2 books out so far). The third Halle Shifter book should be out sometime soon, too. But other than these, I seem to be shifting over to contemporaries over PNR, at least for a while; though I intend to buy Christine Warrens' new one about a gargoyle.

I haven't read them. I will have to look for them. I am always looking forward to reading new authros

I am starting to read a book by Jim Butcher . It is about wizards, vampires and such. It is the first in the series and so far it is pretty good.

I've heard really great things about this series Dee, my GR's BFF LOVES this series!!

I didn't see anyone mention Ilona Andrews and the "Magic" series. That's definitely become one of my all time faves. Also Nalini Singh's books-all of them! LOL That woman is a genius.

Paranormal is not a favorite of mine. I've read very little in that genre. Just recently finished reading by Rebecca Zanetti. It is a fiery paranormal romantic-suspense.

My Review: Rebecca Zanetti

I've not read any of Ilona Andrews but have read some of Nalini Singh's books, she is very good!

If your unfamiliar with the genre there are a few I can recommend when you feel like sinking your teeth into some vampire books...pun intended =)

Why Dorsey! I'm shocked! LOL I thought for sure you'd have read Ilona Andrews, she's very similar in style to Jeanine Frost. I'll have to remedy that for you!

Hope you like it hon. ((Hugs back at ya)) :-)

I still have to say Christine Feehan is one of my favorites. I think what I like about her is the characters are all strong individuals and also that when they meet the love of their life it is also the forever kind of love. I guess all romances are like that, but the way she writes it totally convinces me rather than some that are syrupy sweet) What I don't like about her is that her sex scenes go on for a chapter and sometimes a chapter and a half. I usually end up skipping those.

J.R Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood) and Christine Feehan are a couple favourites of mine.

I also love J.R. Ward. Now that I work in a library I am reading so much more. As a book or DVD comes across my path I snag them. I am also picking them up for my family and friends. This is especially nice for the movies. As soon as we got the movie Gifted I grabbed it and had 3 weeks before I had to return it.

Cool. I have a summer job at a library so I basically grab more books than I can read. I also gets first dibs on new books.

For readers that is the best part of working in a library.

Nobody's been here for a while, but I thought I'd add a new series that I just started. It's not really PNR, more UF, but I loved the story. by Seanan McGuire

I have a feeling that a romance might start between the MC and one of the side characters, so I'm excited about that.

Currently I am reading Deborah Harkness. I love her witch/vampire/and demon trilogy

I still love Shelly Laurenston and really enjoyed the Call of Crows series. I've enjoyed Christine Feehan's Sisters of the Heart series (a spin off from the Drake Sisters series which I also enjoyed). My favorite is Nalini Singh's Psy-Changling series.

Nalini's Archangel series is one of my top favorites, as well as the psy-changeling books. I haven't read much of Christine Feehan lately, I think the last book of hers I read was one of the leopard shifter books.

@Dee, I found Deborah Harkness last year and read the first two of her series, but the library hasn't got the third one in yet. I'm still waiting. Can't wait to get to it though, judging by the first two it's going to be great.

I'm listening to the third one now. I did the same and since it had been so long since I read the first two I had to relisten to it. Really good!

I have read all of Christine Feehan's books, except for her latest Covert Game (It hasn't come to the library yet.)

The Sisters of the Heart series has done a spin off again. Blythe's husband, Victor Prakenski (Czar), leads a motorcycle club that are the only surviving children from the worst school in Russia. This series is called the Torpedo Ink series. The first of this series is called Judgement Road

I read and enjoyed it, though it was rather grim in spots. I'll certainly pick up the second in the series when it comes out.

That is the way I felt about Judgement Road.. I am looking forward to Covert Games. We haven't gotten it yet. Soon I hope.
