Vamps, Dhamps, Weres, & Witches - My Favorite UF, PNR, & YA
A Listmania! list by Letitia "Romantic Book Affairs" (Indiana)
The list author says: "These are the books and series that I've read in the last few years, most of them are favorites that I've reread quite a few times-- a few I've included that I'm not a huge fan of, but someone else might enjoy. The YA books are also fantasy/paranormal and, though geared toward teens, I enjoyed them as an 20-something adult."

1. Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, Book 1) by Patricia Briggs

The list author says:
	"Mercy Thompson is a coyote shape shifter with a knack for trouble. Fantastic world building, excellent plots and fleshed out characters, including: werewolves, vampires, and fae. Light on the romance in the first few books. No graphic details. Briggs is a favorite. Followed by: Blood Bound, Iron Kissed, Bone Crossed, Silver Borne, & River Marked. *These are 5 out 5. Reread multiple times!"

The list author says:
	"Cassie is a lovable clairvoyant. World can be confusing at first. The men in her life, Mircea and Pritkin, are yum. Has romance in it and lots of sexual tension, but is more UF than PNR. Lots of supernaturals--mages, vampires, werewolves, demons, trolls, etc. Followed by: Claimed by Shadows, Embrace the Night, Curse the Dawn, & Hunt the Moon. *4.5 out of 5.

The list author says:
	"UF and/or PNR, some very steamy. Eugenie, a shaman, fixes supernatural problems. Once she enters the Otherworld on a job, her life is never the same. Full of gentry (ie fae).

9. Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, Book 1) by Richelle Mead

The list author says:

"UF. Georgina is a succubus with a heart & morals. Her biggest dilemma, when not fighting evil, is how to be in a relationship and not kill the guy. Mead is a genius. As with her other two series, this one is fantastic! Hot! Emotional. Love the characters & their development. Has vamps, demons, angels, & more.

Followed by: Succubus on Top & 5 more.

10. Midnight's Daughter (Dorina Basarab, Dhampir, Book 1) by Karen Chance

The list author says:
	"Dorina is a dhampire with a chip on her shoulder. An underdog you'll root for. Love interest Louis-Cesare is yummy. Her father is Mircea, who plays a big role in the Cassie series. Same world as Cassie's, filled with a lot of crossover characters. There is romance but is more UF than PNR. Followed by: Death's Mistress. *4.5 out of 5. I plan to reread these soon."

11. First Drop of Crimson (Night Huntress World, Book 1) by Jeaniene Frost

The list author says:
	"Another PNR by Frost. Not as steamy. Set in the same world as Cat & Bones, which is where we're first introduced to the leading couples. I'll read anything written by Frost. She doesn't disappoint. Each book is a stand alone. Followed by: Eternal Kiss of Darkness 4 out 5. Mostly because it isn't as strong* as her main series. I have reread these twice so far."

	"UF, some romance. Merit is a new vampire, trying to figure it all out. It's not easy with a hot and annoying Master like Ethan. This series has vampires, sorcerers, & shape shifters thus far.

	"YA. Dru is all alone after her dad, a hunter, is turned into a zombie. Similar to show Supernatural. World takes a while to develop. Descrips and refs in 1st book can be odd and/or out of date.

	"Unique world. In this series, vampires are created by angels. Elena, born with the ability to scent vamps, is the Guilds best hunter. Hired by archangel Raphael (hot!), Elena's world gets seriously complicated. Dark & steamy. The angels are really interesting. Fresh story. Different in a good way.

The list author says:
	"The banter between Kate, a slayer, & Curran, Beastlord & lion shifter, is hilarious. You won't believe the things they say. The vamps are very unusual; fresh take on the species. Primarily UF, 4th book takes a more romantic turn. Multiple types of shifters. Interesting plots. Followed by: Magic Burns, Magic Strikes, Magic Bleeds, & Magic Slays. *4 out of 5.

Falin is an intriguing male lead, as is Death. Alex is a strong fem and I like her personality. Steamy scene, lots of sizzle. Followed by: Grave Dance. *4 out of 5.

The list author says:
	"PNR. Jane is a newbie vamp with a long streak of wrong place, wrong time. Lots of humor and sarcasm. A light, fun read compared to the other series on my list. Not as romancy in 1st book; not a lot of Gabriel scenes. Not a bad thing, relationship will develop. Fun change of pace. Followed by: NGD Date Dead Men & 1 more. *3.9 out of 5. Only read 1st book so far, will read rest soon."

The list author says:
	"With LKH, you either love her or hate her. Merry is a part-Sidhe, part-Brownie, part-Human who is 1 of 2 heirs to the Unseelie Court. These books are steamy and involve multiple partners. Can often times be light on the plot. Vivid world. Often dark. Prefer the scenes in Faery. Followed by: Caress of Twilight, Seduced by Moonlight, & 4 more. *3.7 out of 5.

The list author says:
	"UF. Jane, a Nat American skinwalker with a case of amnesia, hunts rogue vamps. She doesn't remember anything about her childhood. Beast, one of her animal forms, has a soul and mind of her own. Beasts POV is a bit jarring. Plot and characters were well thought out. Still, I didn't feel a strong connection to Jane. Followed by: Blood Cross & 1 more. *3.7 out of 5. Heard 2nd book is better."

First book runs kinda long. UF and/or PNR. Can be dark. Shape shifters, mostly werecats. Followed by: Rogue & 4 more. Series is completed. *3.5 out of 5. I plan to reread these eventually."

It was a good first effort from a new author. Hope for growth in 2nd book. Followed by: Crescendo. *3.25 out of 5. Have only read 1st book, plan to reread some day. Will buy 2nd book if on sale."

Some Australian vernacular is strange. Interesting series. Has vamps, weres, & shape shifters. Followed by: Kissing Sin & 7 more. Series is completed. *3 out of 5. I plan to reread these some day."

	"YA. Not the usual for paranormal--no vamps, weres, or angels. Ever is a 17yo clairvoyant who gets regular visits from her dead sister. Damen is a bit a-typical: shows up out of the blue, runs hot and cold. Still, it was interesting. Not my fav YA by a long shot, but better than some. Followed by: Blue Moon & 4 more. *3 out of 5. Have only read 1st book. Will check out the 2nd eventually."

Plot felt rushed. Characters were too... static. Too young feeling. Followed by: Ink Exchange & 2 more. *3 out of 5. Have only read 1st book and won't be rereading it."

The list author says:

"The brothers come off ghetto. "My brother", "Sh-tkickers" & "leathers" over & over. Too cheesy to ignore. WAY too many POVs. I cut out all the parts told in the Lessers POV�and I didn�t miss any plot. The scenes were steamy. Neat characters & world. Just not my thing.

Followed by: Lover Eternal & 7 more.

*2.5 out of 5. I sold these books after reading (read up to book 6). No rereads wanted."

Wilks likes unpronouncable minor character names. Often political. Not my cup of tea. Followed by: Tempting Danger & 5 more. *2 out of 5. I sold these books after reading (read to book 5).

31. On the Prowl by Eileen Wilks

The list author says:
	"My fav antho. 4 out 5. Reread multiple times! Patricia Briggs story is by far the strongest, spun off into her Alpha & Omega series. (Read before Cry Wolf.) Eileen Wilks story gets off to a slow start, but by the end I was engrossed by Kai and Nathan. Karen Chance's story is my 2nd fav. Claire and Heidar's story was magical. This short got me hooked on her books. Sunny's story-- PASS."

The list author says:
	"This is a decent antho. 3.5 out of 5. Chance's is the star. Lia has led a few shorts before; gives more backstory. Love a book about Lia & Cyrus. Liu's was interesting. Dragged on a bit but made me curious about the Hunter Kiss books. Galenorn's was a decent prequel to her series. Felt rushed at times. Lost interest in Wilk's Lupi series, didn't care to read her short about Lily & Rule."

33. Strange Brew by P. N. Elrod

The list author says:
	"There are a lot of authors in this antho, and each only gets about 40 pages... Which equals not enough "meat" for me. I prefer when the authors get more space than that. Still, the stand out stories were: Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher, Rachel Caine, & Karen Chance. Charlaine Harris' was confusing. PN Elrod's was boring. The rest were okay. 3 out of 5."

34. Holidays Are Hell by Kim Harrison

The list author says:
	"I bought this antho for Harrison's story "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel". It involves a teenage Rachel Morgan, as well as her brother, and chronicles how she met Pierce. Very good. I had eyed a series by Lyndsay Sands but after reading her short, "Run Rudolph Run"... I've changed my mind. Truly a terrible story. Big time cheesy. Put the antho down after her short. Will pick up again sometime."
