Patricia Briggs Fans discussion

I love alpha and omega and all things mercy but dose any one have any ideas for another series that would be similar ?

What about World of the Lupi, the first book is .

You might like the Kitty Noville series. I enjoyed several of those. I didn't finish the series because I thought one particular plot point was dragging too much, but a friend of mine loved it all the way through to the last book, which just came out this year. Sorry if this is a repeat. I didn't check to see how old this query is.

More romance but similar feel - Riley Jensen Series by Keri Arthur

Anita Blake series by Laurel k. Hamilton

You might like the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter. The first book is Skinwalker.
The writing is not as perfect as Briggs, but the lead character, Jane, is very endearing. There are a few similarities. Jane is Cherokee, but also a skinwalker and turns into a mountain lion. Like Mercy in the beginning, Jane does not fully know what she is or her family. What I like about this series is, like Mercy, it's sometimes humorous, quite funny. There are also vampires and witches in the Jane Yellowrock books, but at ,Esst up to now no Fae.

Thanks all I will look into these thanks again all

While I personally love the Anita Blake series, unless Dan is into smut, he might not like the later books. The books leading up to Blue Moon aren't too bad with the smut, but the later ones get smuttier and smuttier. Sure there's still a lot of tense action, but it's wrapped up in her essentially becoming a succubus and needing to have lots of sex to keep from killing those closest to her.

Dan, i'm going to back JoshsAngle with the warning about the later Anita Blake books. They are about a novella's worth of actual story and then the rest is straight out porn. LKH went through a divorce just about the time that Anita turned into smut, and changed her writing. When her readers complained, she basically said, "Too bad, so sad, I'll write what I want to write and you are just going to have to put up with it." She also said that that was what she'd been wanting to write but her spouse and agent were against it. She has, supposedly, come down from her ego trip in the last few books, but I don't know about that first hand. After the interviews she did where she was so arrogant, I just stopped buying her books altogether. While I didn't really have a problem with her changing what she was writing, I was of the opinion that she should have just ended the Anita books and started a new series with that format, since in the first books, Anita has practically taken a vow of chastity. And to have her going from that to Porn star Anita, well, that was too big of a change for me.

And, having now finished my "Don't diss your readers if you want them to REMAIN your readers" type rant. . .

Do you like PNR? If so, you might want to try the Shifter's Unbound series. Pride Mates is the first of the series. It's set in a world where there are shifters, but the government has decided to "collar" them with fae artifacts. (And the fae in the series are NOT nice characters for the most part.) Very interesting series, just from the world building perspective. But it is a PNR. But it's a PNR with an over-arcing story line.

I've not caught up on the rest of the books, but I know one of her more recent side books from the Anita series, Jason, is smut too, so I'm sure that's still a heavy part of it.

That aside, not sure what PNR is, but the series sounds intriguing and I may have to check it out myself.

PNR is P araNormal Romance. Basically a romance book with vampires, werewolves, fae, ghosts etc.

There are also PNM (Paranormal mysteries). As well as the UF (Urban Fantasy).

Ah. I know what paranormal romance is, I'd just never seen the abbreviation before. I'm a stickler for typing things out the majority of the time, so I rarely ever even use netspeak. One of the few exceptions is 'LOL'. But I learned something new, Cool.

These are some of my other favorite shifter series:


I'm always looking for new (GOOD) shifter books, too.

I don't have wolfs or vamps for you guys, but I came with DRAGONS and spirits and human mages.

Check Heartstrikers series of Rachel Aaron (another awesome female author)
