Book Haven discussion

What is your favorite Paranormal romance series?

I really enjoy Christine Feehan's Carpathian series! I haven't sifted through all of the books in the series yet. The only thing that irritates me about the series is that the males are a little too dominant for my taste...

Well it used to be Ward's BDB but now I think it's Cole's IAD --though I'm quickly becoming a fan of Abé's Dràkon series.

I love Feehan's Ghostwalkers and Lora Leigh's SEALs and EliteOPs series too.

I'm a HUGE fan of BDB, Darkyn, Midnight Breeds and Carpathians. Haven't started IAD yet.

Right now, it's J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, hands down.:-)

for me it's jr wards black dagger brotherhood::and:: j frosts nighthuntress series::

I have JFrost Night Huntress' first book or two to read when I get back. Taking Darkyn with me.

ill go with my usual

Ward
Kenyon
Cole
larissa Ione
and lately Deidre Knight

Right now my favorite is J.R. Ward's BDB but that is subject to change.lol

I keep meaning to begin J.R. Ward's series. Everytime I get it from the library another book leads me astray, and I put J.R. Ward aside. (sigh)

That's blasphemy right there. ROFL

Another vote for the BDB.:)

My absolute favorite is Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series. I just LOVE those books!

Tsk, tsk Joy ;) You're missing out something big with Ward's BDB (lol!). But just think of what's waiting for ya when you start :D

Thats the problem with enjoying so many different genres. I have 367 book I want to read, and it so hard to catch up. LOL As soon as I read one book, I have 10 more I want to read. Otherwise, I probably would have read Ward a long time ago. :) I def. need to start reading faster so that I get to her. LOL

I often feel the need to graft a few pairs of eyes to my head too so I could at least make a dent in the TBR pile (!) I know how you feel Joy :)

I have read the first in both Frost's series and JD Ward's/ Have others in my piles to read. You will learn I WANT to read everything. LOL Time is another issue....

When it comes to books, I would love to have the time turner that Hermione possessed in Harry Potter. That way I would have enough time to read all of my books! :)

My favorites. Hmm...

BDB by J.R. Ward
Darkyn by Lynn Viehl
Drakon by Shana Abé
Psy-Changeling by Nalini Singh
Daughters of Arriane by Joey W. Hill

Honorable mention: Midnight series by Cynthia Eden. There are a few others that I keep up with, but those are the top for me. :)

My favorites:

Christine Feehan's GhostWalkers
Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling
Lynn Viehl's Darkyn
Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark

Yet another vote for BDB although I am new to the paranormal genre....

LOL, that's funny!

Kenyon and Ward are probably my favorite right now.

Kenyon and Ward for me as well. But I am behind in both. When you don't have a favorite genre, you get easily distracted.

J.R. Ward BDB and Kresley Cole IAD are my favorites.

Kenyon, Ward, and Frost are my all time favs.

There are a lot that I like (I haven't finished) but my faves are Night Huntress and Dark Hunters.

Definetly Ward's BDB series,Then it would Larissa Ione Demonica series

FYI - JR Ward is a woman. :)

I've never read any of the BDB books. I keep hearing so many good things and yet...
I read a short out of an anthology once and it bored me. I know I shouldn't compare shorts to the real novels but that's usually how I find new authors. lol

I'm a Kenyon fan!

That's actually not too surprising Elvia. I've run across a lot of Kenyon fans who don't "get" Ward and vice-versa. Some people like both, including myself, but I have to admit having a preference for Ward.;-)

I also prefer Ward over Kenyon, but Kenyon is awesome!

I'm not a HUGE PR fan though. I'm more of an UF fan. I got into PR when Laurell K Hamilton turned Anita into a big 'ol dirty bird (LOL). Then I found Kenyon and thought it was great!

Kresley Coles,Immortals After Dark.
Wards BDB
Robbs Death series
And Jenine Frosts Books
And Richelle Meads Books

At the moment I'm loving Anita Blake. I've got to read Vampire Academy and Thirst No. 1: The Last Vampire, Black Blood, Red Dice as they are books that I've had ready for a while.

Night Huntress-Bones and Cat-Jeaniene Frost
Demonica Series-#1 is my fav
Kresley Cole
Richelle Mead
Jr Ward
Sherrilyn Kenyon

My favorites are:

Sentinel series by Shannon K. Butcher
Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward

I loved the Vampire Acedmy Series!! I actually did a review of the series, which you can watch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Baf8qY...
It was a great series!
Don't know the other one? Will have to check it out!

I am a very eclectic reader and find it hard to follow all the Classifications. For me there are only three classifications: Great, so-so, wish I had never read!!!

My current favorite is Boyfriend from Hell by E. Van Lowe- also wrote Never Slow Dance with a Zombie. Also, today is the last day the ebook is on sale!

From my review: "This book defies the traditions of the paranormal romance realm and delves into the deep end. With shocking twists at every turn, the main character, Megan feels like she doesn’t know who is who anymore or what is going on, as her life totally changes once her mom starts dating. The man seems perfect, almost too good to be true, (in her mom's eyes, at least) until she digs up some serious dirt on him. Not your average dirt either. But no one believes her, because it sounds too crazy. Who would believe a teenage girl saying that her mom’s new love interest is from hell?"

Check it out- http://bit.ly/nz7mpR

I always loved The Nightworld series by L.J. Smith. I read them when I was a kid, and they've always stayed with me... possibly because even after twelve years we're still waiting on the last one... which is a major let down. Still, awesome books.

I was enjoying the Anita Blake books... until they stopped being paranormal romance and started being erotica... I love a bit of a tumble in the sack as much as anyone, but eeeesh... plot's nice too!

There are so many!!!

#1. VA-Richelle Meade
Lords of the Underworld-Gena Showalter
Morganville Vampires-Rachel Caine
Demonica-Larissa Ione
2. IAD-Kresley Cole
3. BDB-JR Ward
4. Midnight Breed-Lara Adrian
5. Night Walkers-Jacquelyn Frank
6. Dark Hunter-Sherrilyn Feehan

Ok I'm gonna stop now!!! lol!!! Maybe I'll add more later.

Generally I hate series. After a few books they tend to get to same old same old. I would say four books is the limit. I like the Dune series. The first book blows away the rest. But the others are good. As far as pop series Sookie Stackhouse is the only other one I like.

Vampire Academy and Morganville are two of my favorites too!

Shapes of Autumn - Veronica Blade
The Dark Elements - Jennifer L. Armentrout
Lux - Jennifer L. Armentrout
The Crystor - C.K. Bryant
The Captive - Erica Stevens
The Grey Wolves - Quinn Loftis
Pyte/Sentinel - R.L. Mathewson

There are soooo many to choose from! Everyone has already listed many of my favorites too, so if I'm repeating, sorry! (But not sorry, because they're worth it)

Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine
Penryn and the End of Days by Susan Ee
The Shapes of Autumn by Veronica Blade
Darkest Powers by Kelley Armstrong
Sweep by Cate Tiernan
Dark Elements; Lux by Jennifer L. Armentrout

And I know there's many more, but I'll leave it as is :P
