Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments F Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble (Jolie Wilkins, #1) by H.P. Mallory R Real Murders (Aurora Teagarden, #1) by Charlaine Harris I In the Company of Vampires (Dark Ones #8) by Katie MacAlister E Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho N Nefertiti's Heart (Artifact Hunters, #1) by A.W. Exley D Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor


In the Company of Vampires is #8 in a series but it can be easily read as a standalone, since it's a PNR series in the same universe but without story carrying on from book to book.

If you want to "meet them" before the book - not necessary for the story, but fun and it give us the insight of some characters - they first appear on the YA book omnibus Confessions of a Vampire's Girlfriend (Ben and Fran, #1-2) by Katie MacAlister - when Fran is 15 and meets vampire Ben.

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments F Fly Away (Firefly Lane, #2) by Kristin Hannah R The Restorer (Graveyard Queen, #1) by Amanda Stevens I I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson E Emma by Jane Austen N Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs (Jane Jameson, #1) by Molly Harper D The Deal (Off-Campus, #1) by Elle Kennedy


message 11: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie  | 194 comments F Fingerprints of the Gods The Evidence of Earth's Lost Civilization by Graham Hancock R The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles, #1) by Rick Riordan I The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne E Ender's Shadow (Ender's Shadow, #1) by Orson Scott Card N Nancy Drew #1-64 by Carolyn Keene D The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson

Okay, okay...my N isn't a book but a whole series, but I mean, come on. Nancy Drew. How was I supposed to narrow that down? I still read them as an adult when I am feeling nostalgic.

(Note: Take Fingerprints of the Gods as seriously as you want, but I thought some of the connections were fascinating. I am not sure if I believe all of them but it is some cool stuff to read if you are into the ancient history and aren't too angered by the unorthodox).
