Hunting Ground (Patricia Briggs)

Anna and Charles have just been enlisted to attend a summit to present Bran's controversial proposition: that the wolves should finally reveal themselves to humans. But the most feared Alpha in Europe is dead set against the plan --and it seems like someone else might be, too. When Anna is attacked by vampires using pack magic, the kind of power only werewolves should be able to draw on, Charles and Anna must combine their talents to hunt down whoever is behind it all--or risk losing everything...

Patricia Briggs has brought us another wonderful novel.

Moon Called (Patricia Briggs)

Mercy Thompson's life is not exactly normal. Her next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a VW bus for a vampire. But then, Mercy isn't exactly normal herself.

This was an easy read that I had problems putting down! The main charactors were well developed (love a tough female), plot interesting with a quick pace, and the ending had me reaching for the second book! Love Mercy and all her super natural friends.
This is the first of the Mercy Thompson series.

Blood Magic (Eileen Wilks)

As they plan their wedding, Lily Yu and Rule Turner, a prince of the lupi, are facing a great deal of tension from both their families. Not everyone can accept their mixed marriage: she's Chinese and he's a werewolf. Even Lily's grandmother is acting strangely distant, though Lily and Rule are about to discover that her behavior has nothing to do with their upcoming nuptials.
A powerful, undying nemesis has come to San Diego to exact vengeance on Lily's family - and turn the city into a feeding ground. It's up to Lily and Rule to stop her, in spite of ancient treaties and an inheritance passed down through the blood. Otherwise San Diego could go up in flames, and they won't live to make it to the altar...

Another good story in Eileen Wilks Lupi series. I enjoyed learning more of Grandmother's story.

Cry Wolf (Patricia Briggs)

INTRODUCING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA NOVELS...Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

The only downside I can think of for this book was that the author made reference to things that happened in her Mercy Thompson series. It made me feel I was missing something and maybe I should have read that series first.

Like I said, that was the only downside. I enjoyed this story!

Carpe Corpus (Rachel Caine)

In the small college town of Morganville, vampires and humans lived in (relative) peace-until all the rules got rewritten when the evil vampire Bishop arrived, looking for the lost book of vampire secrets. He's kept a death grip on the town ever since. Now an underground resistance is brewing, and in order to contain it, Bishop must go to even greater lengths. He vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants-the living and the undead. Claire Danvers and her friends are the only ones who stand in his way. But even if they defeat Bishop, will the vampires ever be content to go back to the old rules, after having such a taste of power?

A good addition to the series.

Midnight's Daughter (Karen Chance)

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Unlike most dhampirs, though, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity. Now Dory's vampire father has come to her for help— again. Her Uncle Dracula (yes, the Dracula), cruelest among vampires, has escaped his prison. And her father wants Dory to work with gorgeous master vampire Louis-Cesare to put him back there.Although Dory prefers to work alone, Dracula is the only thing that truly scares her—and when she has to face him, she'll take all the help she can get...

I admit that it took me a little bit longer than normal to truely get into this story. This is a spin off from Karen Chance's Cassandra Palmer series. I think I picked this one up too soon after reading Curse The Dawn. It kept making reference to Mircea who is a pivotal character from that book and I wanted to follow his story, not his daughter's.

I did finally get involved and enjoyed the conclusion. I am wondering what is next in the books for Dory.

On The Prowl (story collection)

These all-new paranormal romances from today's hottest authors feature a female werewolf who comes into her own; a Lord who crosses paths with a fiery mage; a mixed-blood Child of the Moon who faces an uncertain future; and a woman whose sixth sense proves to be a dangerous talent.

I like reading story collections. It helps me to discover new authors that I can seek out later if I like their writing style.

The first book is by Patricia Briggs and is the prelude to her Alpha & Omega series. I enjoyed this story enough that I went the next day to get that series.

I usually enjoy Eileen Wilks & Karen Chance but I was a little bored & disappointed with their stories.

Sunny's story was horrible.It was mainly sex with only enough story to tie the romance and sex episodes together. I felt as if I was witnessing a cheap porn movie! I have to say I was very disappointed to have to wade through all of that in an attempt to find a storyline.
