My Top Ten Favorite Paranormal Series

By 255 Comments

Let’s start another top 10 list! While I began reading this genre because of my vampire obsession, I discovered that other “paranormals” could be just as exciting! So I’ll list my favorites that are not vampire-centric. (this is also a discussion on my Facebook page, so comment here, or join me there, and let’s gush!)

1.) Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series (Fae related, but there are other “others” too) hands down – one of my most favorite – vampire or not – of all time! My mom just started the series and can barely sleep she’s reading so much. And when she does sleep, she’s dreaming of them! read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the vampire fated mates, when they turn them they revert to their best age/prime body condition…

Jenny needs our book help! Ooooh this sounds good. I immediately thought Argeneau series or Kerrelyn Sparks “Love at Stake” series <— but I don’t remember anyone reverting back to their “prime” in that one?

I mean, naturally, vampires always tend to just look better, though, right? 😉 Twilight for sure did that. They always looked a million times better as a vampire and Bella nearly didn’t survive the turn.

Or… BDB maybe? I know some don’t survive the change (or it can be pretty iffy). Hrmmm… I want to know too!! read more

Reader Question… Solved! The book about the girl who inherits a house from her grandmother, and the grandmother named it Percy after a warlock…

Charlotte needs our book help! Ohhhhh tons of detail here and it sounds crazy good (and just plain crazy). LOL!!!

She asks:

Please can you help me find the name and author……..

Its a book about a girl who inherits a house that the estate agent is scared of. The house belonged to her grandmother and we find out it is magical and named percy, percy is a warlock that went to the dark magics so the grandmother killed him but put him within the house.

Before that though the girl recently divored and her husband and mother stole her restaurant from her, read more

Reader Question – The book about the girl with 12 brothers and her human best friend was in love with one of her brothers…

Alanah is looking for this one! Okay so… this one is a bit convoluted but ends up being paranormal as the description continues. And I have NO idea.

She asks:

I vaguely remember a book series about a girl who had 12 brothers and she was the youngest (I think) and she had a girl best friend who was human with hippy parents and I remember her friend falls in love with her brother.

And one of the scenes in the book is said brother backing friend against their house to keep her safe from other vampires and another scene at the beginning of the book where they’re trying to spend time at a party but end up leaving early instead because they didn’t like the drunk guys. read more

Reader Recommendations – Our Favorite Rejected Mate Romance Books

By 3 Comments

This one came as a request on Facebook (thank you Nancy!!), and how could I resist? I LOVE THIS TROPE!!! Nothing better (in angsty-romance-heartachy books!!) than that shocking moment of heartache, after thinking you’ve finally found your forever.

And then the whole pining, and moments of hopefulness to moments of feeling utterly dejected. I always wonder what the HEA will end up looking like. OR IF there will be an HEA at all.

Nancy: Maryse we need a rejected mates book list because it’s my favorite trope lately! read more

Jaymin Eve – Shadow Beast Shifters Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

<— BRUTALLY REJECTED BY HER TRUE MATE!!! PARANORMAL DARK ROMANCE AND THE TITLE FOR BOOK #1 HAS MY ATTENTION!!! And many in our crew are loving it!!

Mony: Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters #1) by Jaymin Eve – I thought this book was fabulous! Binge-read the series, although book #1 was my favourite. 5★

Michelle S: I am reading a Paranormal, called “Rejected (Shadow Beast Shifters, Book 1)”. I KNOW!!! It sounds so dang corny. But it’s free on KU, so I picked it up. And I LOVE IT. Super over the top sassy Heroine, meets grumpy, moody, over the top “beast”…. a formula that I still like when the mood strikes me. If the writing works, the dialogue, and the story, then I am still in my happy place. read more
