All books are not created equal. In a series, some books stand out above the rest. We’ve complied a hot booklist of our Fav books in a series, based on the best of the best, be all that they could be, and books that make us say Oooh-Rah.

Kresely Cole’s Immortals After Dark
A Hunger Like No Other
Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night
Dark Desires After Dusk

*Honestly You Can’t Go Wrong with any of her IAD books I prefer the Lykae and Demon books

Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter Series
Probably best to start from the first book or to read all of them, she weaves a lot of characters in her other books. She must have one hell of an editor!

Night Embrace
Dance With the Devil
Night Play
Seize the Night (you might want to read Night Pleasures first)
Unleash the Night
Devil May Cry
Acheron (You might want to read Dream Hunter first b/c Tory is mentioned in this series)
Dream Warrior

J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood
It’s best to read all her books, I know, even Vichous’s book. Her supporting characters end up making big guest or main appearances in future books.

Dark Lover
Lover Eternal
Lover Awakened (my all time fav)
Lover Avenged
Lora Leigh’s Breed Series
Scientists splice animal DNA and created the breeds. Caged like animals, they fight to escape and start to live amongst the humans. She is steamy so be prepared to arm yourself with a fan when you read her books.

Elizabeth’s Wolf (Published by Elloras Cave I would buy used)
Tanner’s Scheme
Dawn’s Awakening
Mercury’s War
Coyote’s Mate

Shelley Laurenston aka G.A. Aiken

The Beast in Him

Go Fetch

Christine Feehan GhostWalker Series and Latest Leopard Book
A brilliant but psychotic scientist Dr. Whitney, adopted gifted little girls ,(orphans) to conduct inhumane tests. The orphans named after flowers like test subjects, are enhanced psychically and physically, left to fend for themselves without anchors. Fast forward 10 years and now Dr. Whitney is testing on special ops, later to be called Ghostwalkers. The Ghostwalkers must find all of Dr. Whiteny’s orphaned test subjects before it’s too late.

*Her Angel’s Blood is my top pick

Guild Hunter
Angel’s Blood

Psy Series

Hostage to Pleasure

Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series aka what I like to call Fae Series
You have to read them all! I am usually not a fan of one character series, but this series hooked, line, and sinkered me.
Darkfever
Bloodfever
Faefever
Series That Deserve a Mini Woot
Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dream Hunters
Christine Feehan’s Drake Sisters and Dark Series
Autumn Dawn’s No Words Alone (Don’t bother getting her second book in this series, stick to the first one)

Kresley Cole… ‘We’re Not Worthy, We’re Not Worthy’

K.C. — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 05:12:20 +0000

Kresley Cole is by far one of my favorite paranormal authors. She has it all, witty dialogue, strong female leads, interesting and unique plot lines, and an uncanny ability to maintain continuity in her stories. (I’m practically gushing).

Ms. Cole’s Immortal After Dark Series makes it to the top of my must read paranormal romance list, she has set the stage to be able to write about so many different ‘otherworld’ species. The premise for her series surrounds all species of the lore; vampires, Valkyrie, Witches, Lykae, Demons, Wraiths and so on; all co-existing within our world. Every couple hundred years the immortals must all come to battle in what is termed an ascension, essentially mother nature’s way of ‘culling’ the immortal heard. Currently, her series starts right at the cusp of this ascension and so far the ascension is in the not so distant future.

Her latest installment in the series Kiss of the Demon King was a sizzler! I have to admit the Demon brother (Cade) and the Lykae (Bowen) happen to be my favorite characters. The dialogue is always witty and fun. She has a way of writing male leads that are interesting and sexy without being overly masculine or feminized. Too many authors suffer from what I like to refer to as ‘over-alphamisim.” Where the men turn into raging cave-like beasts who’s sole purpose is to make the women submit to them (ehem, Ms. Lora Leigh). I enjoy this fantasy as much as the next woman, but it can be a bit repetitive, hence why I enjoy Kresley Cole, as she has a way of making her male leads believable even if they are demons or vampires.

My favorite books in her series so far: A Hunger Like No Other (1st full book – she has a short story Playing Easy to Get), Wicked Deeds on a Wicked Night, and Dark Desires After Dusk. To quote my favorite show The Office, “Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling.”

If you’ve read Kresely Cole’s IAD series let us know what you think!

P.S. You just have to love someone that quotes the movie Aliens, only the best movie ever.
