I like the Anita Blake series. It changes along the way, but if your okay with a lot of sex, it's still okay. Some later books have less sex focus than others.

I like these series.

I love the anita blake series. I've read all 20 books! lol

I would also recommend the Succubus series aka Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead. I thought they were fantastic. It's aimed at an older audience compared to her VA series, but if you don't mind a bit of sex then I would highly suggest reading them.

Another great series is Virginia Andrews Dollangager books. The first one is:


Some of the issues in the book are a bit sordid, but otherwise a good read c:

I was wondering if someone could recommend me a scary, knock-your-socks-off book. Not particularly horror (I don't generally do horror) but something spooky.

I apologize if this is in the wrong thread :)

I didn't see this trilogy, so I thought I would add it. These three books blew me away and are by far some of the best fiction I have read in...well, EVER. And I am talking ALL genres! All three books are very well written: all three move quickly, the characters are well-written and likable (for the most part), and the story line is written in a way that makes Zombies believable. I don't want to say too much for fear of spoilers, but if you haven't read these, you should. Even the middle book is fantastic!

There is also a novella with a bit of the back story that's a good read too:

A book that I recently read and completely fell in love with is ? It is truly amazing!

I'm currently in the process of reading Anita Blake, and I'm in love with it! The main character, Anita Blake has got some great lines and traits that are really relateable. Plus shes the strong heroine type. If you can get to at least book 3 I think you will find it awesome. So far book 3 has been my favorite of the series.

Happy reading!

I can honestly recommend:



I love all of these books and series!

If you look in my shelf you can find all kind of books there. Also the reviews I do for them.

You've read Elizabeth Chandler? Have you read the Kissed by an Angel trilogy?

I have heard GREAT things about these. I'm a hesitant zombie reader though..are they a bit horror-ish?

Ahhh, I can't believed no one has yet to recommend these books. I only read some of them recently and they are way up there in my favourites list <3

These are the first in the series.

Also, I see a lot of people recommending Hush Hush, but I personally can't stand Mary Sue characters. These are some other angel books that are really well-written.

I would recommend "castle Auburn"- by Sharon Shinn, she also wrote an amazing series called "the Samaria files", but each book is so different that you don't need to read them in order(Angelica) was the first one I was blown away. So I would suggest...
1. Castle Auburn-Sharon Shinn
2,Keeper Chronicals-Tanya Huff
3.Angelica-Sharon Shinn

I also loved "Unwind" by Neal Shusterman & it has a sequel called "Unwholly", he. Also released a book called "UnStrung" but I'm not sure where that stands in the trilogy it may be a 1.5 or 2.5 . Regardless they are really good books. I couldn't put unwind down until the last page. Then I hunted down everything else the man wrote.

I had recommended Unwind in my post too. Hands down, my most favourite YA dystopian novel! Can't wait for the third to be out. UnStrung is actually a #1.5 novella, but the story takes place in the middle of the first book. It explains why Lev became a clapper in the first place.

Really like Richelle Mead's "The Dark Swan" series & Katie Alender "Bad Girls Don't Die" series!

was very well written. But average rating only 3 point something
*cry and cry and cry*
v popular haha
clever plot :)
Ahhhhh I love this book!

It's not YA but I read book one in the Dark Tower series a few months back, which was really good.

How about and

is amazing! It is book 1 in an 8 book series.

This is a series that I really loved. It is a nice twist to real Historic events related to London (from its Greeks first settlers to the the WWII). Also it is a story that we are all good inside but we just need someone to believe in us.
