Moning Maniacs discussion

Honestly, I'd recommend the YA series called Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. It's dark, has the strong heroes, conflicted girl, and evil fae with agendas. I have devoured each novel that's come out.

I think one series that has just started that I really liked is by Diana Pharaoh Francis. There is only one books so far, but it does show promise.

Thanks for the recommendations! I just actually discovered this genre honestly. But boy am I glad I did. I discovered the Fever books on here last week. I am almost done with book 2. They are fantastic. So wow, I am already looking to see what to start next once I finish the Fever series. I am also reading the Great and Terrible Beauty series (on the last book) which I love but it is YA. I think I like the adult books a little more though LOL. I also have the first Succubus book in the series you mentioned but have not read it yet. I will check out Halfway to the Grave too! I am so excited to have found books I cannot wait to read.

I think I am going to read the next like you suggested Vale.

I am also going to order series and start that one soon since I hear such great things about it on here.

Vale: So you also recommend series? It is not available at my bookstore so I would have to order it. Is it anywhere close to good as the Fever series is?

I also bought a couple of the books in this series . Have you read this series?

Toni wrote: "I also bought a couple of the books in this series. Have you read this series?"

I have read this series and like it. What makes it different is that there are multiple narrators for the series. For the most part each book is a different one or there will be the same for 2 in a row and then new characters introduced. The old characters pop in and out of the new books.

Great thank you both for the info! Vale, I will check out your shelf.

By the way, how do you quote someone on here? If you hit reply does it copy their post? Not sure how to do this. :)

Yes, you just it the reply button.

Hi All. I just joined this group because I just finished the first Fever book and really liked it. Can't wait to get the second one.
The above listed books named (Night Huntress, Georgina Kincaid, Black Dagger Brotherhood)are all really great books! If you want to try something new that not a lot of people have read I would recommend Monere: Children of the Moon series by Sunny. They are different from all the other PNR stuff out there that I've read and really suck you in! One of my favorite characters is the High Prince of Hell (he sounds evil but he's really great!) Plus the "romance" is hot!
Another great series is the Demonica series by Larissa Ione Passion Unleashed Ecstasy Unveiled

Larissa Ione has a free Demonica short story that she just put on her website. I haven't read it yet but I think it's a follow up on Wraith & Serena. She says she plans to do more follow ups on her Demonica characters too.

I don't think anyone mentioned the Mortal Instruments which is a great series. Looking forward to the 4th book and the prequels.

Has anyone read The Uglies series? They're also YA but really good.

Actually I really liked the first one, the second was still pretty good. I wasn't overly crazy about the 3rd book mainly because I envisioned the story going a different way. So I wasn't crazy about the way if wrapped up. It had a happy ending but it wasn't my perfect happy ending if that makes sense. There's a fourth book which I didn't read because it's not really the same story just the same world I guess but the characters were all different so I wasn't interested.

I was not a fan of the Uglies series. Well I only read the first one and did not like it at all so never read Pretties. I also did not like Hunger Games which I know a lot of people LOVE.

I recommend the Gemma Doyle Trilogy . It is YA but I loved it!

So many books so little time........ :)

I LOVED The Hunger Games!! I couldn't stop thinking about that book for days after reading it. So Good.

Vale wrote: "I love that quote,lol, is my number one.

I have the Gemma Doyle series in my TBR pile. I read that now there's the movie as well."

I read there was a movie too but the stopped it last I heard. :(
I hope they change their minds. I would love to see the movie. They were such creepy but magical books.

I recommend Stormwalker . Mick (in Stormwalker) reminds me of Barron. The book is great. You'll understand the similarities if you read it.

I added it too. Thanks Michelle.

I am still here..thanks!! Just super busy with end of school year here not a lot of time to post.
:)

Hey girls, when you say that the fever series are UF... what UF stands for ?

Thanks! (=

I'll also check it out 8)

I'm having a hard time finding new ones to hold me over until the spin off. Everything listed, I have read. Plus it seems like way too many YA books are coming out lately. I don't mind them sometimes but I need a little more than hand holding and a peck on the lips!!

I haven't read them yet, but I've heard really good things about Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. If you haven't read that series yet, give it a shot. There are a ton of books so it will keep you busy for a while.

I totally agree with you about the YA books. I love them, but sometimes you just need a little more then a peck on the cheek. Even so, if you haven't read The Hunger Games yet, I would suggest giving them a shot. There isn't much more romance then what you would expect for a YA series, but it's such a powerful story that it more then makes up for it.

Kia, the Hunger series is by far my favorite YA out there! I started a book blog iheartnovels.com and its one that I highly recommended! I tried the first book of the Dark Hunter series a long time ago and couldn't really get into it but maybe I will try again.

oops its iheartnovels.blogspot.com

Briefly looking over my own ''to read" shelf to help out, here are a few other series not mentioned above that may hold your interest. If anyone has read these yet, please feel free to comment.

The Darkyn Series by Lynn Viehl
The Carpathians Series by Christine Feehan
Riley Jensen Guardian Series by Keri Arthur
Immortals After Dark Series by Kresley Cole
Midnight Series by Cynthia Eden
Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh
Night Tracker Series by Cheyenne McCray
Soul Gatherer Series by Annette McCleave
Dark Redemption Series by Yvonne Navarro

This one isn't a series, but sounds amazing as well.
Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard

I hope these help you. There is nothing worse then not having anything good to read, especially after reading something as amazing as The Fever Series. Good Luck! And thanks for the blog link. I will definitely check it out.

Riley Jensen Guardian series was one of my first PNR or UF series I have read and I loved them!
THe author Keri Arthur is from Australia. Christine Feehan is great too. Chrisitna Dodd has some frun ones like Tongue in Chic. The Carpathians are great to by her. I have just started teh Kresley Cole ones.
Not as smart and witty as the fever, riley or succubus series but I am enjoying them.

Riley Jensen is like that for sure!
http://www.keriarthur.com/books/riley...
They get together until the last book, #9
Georgiana Kincaid - Succubus series is like that too.
http://www.richellemead.com/books/suc...
last book comes out this year!

I second Georgina Kincaid (haven't read Riley yet). The setup and story arc of GK has made me think of Fever many times because the series sort of dumps all the world building in book 1 like Darkfever did, and slowly builds in greatness more and more with each book. The most recent book (number 5) had me urgently wanting to know the answers to some questions much like I how I felt after finishing Dreamfever.

I'm very happy that the final GK book will be out in August, so I don't have to wait as long as I had to with Shadowfever just to find out the answers to what I've been wanting to know!

I really enjoyed the Shifter series too. It's by Rachel Vincent
http://rachelvincent.com/shifters.htm

and a new series I am reading.Sabina Kane Series by Jaye Wells.First book is called red-headed Stepchid.
She is half vamp half mage, trained bu her grandmother the leader of the vamps as an assain.

Help! Can anyone help me w/something similar to the Fever series? I find a lot of these books that are being recommended are more love story than UF. I like the plot to be central and the love scenes to take a backseat. The Guild Hunter series was good, but I couldn't stand all the mooning over Raphael. I enjoy the Kate Daniels series. She's a strong, witty character whose love life does not consume the story. Wasn't thrilled w/Night Huntress or Georgina Kincaid. I know, I'm difficult. Thanks!

Some that I haven't seen recommended yet that I think are really great are the Jane Yellowrock series, the October Daye series, the Chicagoland Vampires and the Mercy Thompson series. These all have strong female leads and the romance is a side story to the main plot. I love all of these series!

I keep hearing everyone talk about the Chicagoland Vampire series, I need to get those books ASAP!

Thank you!

I agree, the Chicagoland Vampire series is really good. You could also venture out to the YA genre. The Vampire Academy & the Evernight series were pretty good as well. I also highly recomment The Mortal Instruments. Good Luck in your search

THE CASSANDRA PALMER SERIES IS GOOD. SHE IS ALWAYS GETTING INTO TROUBLE LIKE MAC. THE NIGHT HUNTRESS SERIES BY JEANINE FROST IS GREAT TOO! THE RILEY JENSEN SERIES IS ANOTHER.

Does the Cassandra Palmer series get better? I couldn't make it through the 1st book. I've tried Night Huntress and Cat gets on my nerves. Still trying to figure out what Bones sees in her. I'm in the minority, I know. I'll try Riley Jensen perhaps. Thanks for the info!

Cassie Palmer makes alot more sense after the second book. I think I'll try the Chicago land series too. I also keep seeing it mentioned! Does anyone know when the new fever series is due ?

You may also want to try the other series written by Karen Chance, the Dorina Basarab series, I actually like it much better than the Cassie Palmer series. It's set in the same world with some of the same characters, but Dorina is very different from Cassie.

Midnight's Daughter

I was wondering about that series. I'll have to. check it out.

I am a die hard Fever Series Fan! I dont know if there is a series as good as this!lol But I can recommend some books for you to occupy your time. Try Balefire and Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan. The Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward. Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout. The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines. Now, these next 2 are actually a trilogy and book 3 comes out the 19th of this month, Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and the 3rd is Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James(excellent ADULT reading these last 3 books are) Hope it helps you out!
