Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

October
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. This month is dedicated to our favourite monsters.

Werewolves 2 books featuring our favourite shapeshifter
Witches/warlocks/wizards 2 books featuring magic users. If you find a book featuring a necromancer, go for it, after all what’s a world with no zombies, right?
Vampires We are only reading 2 books for this one, simply because there are so many books offered, and we all know that vampires are #1 on the hit parade, so they don’t have to work as hard.
Shapeshifters other than werewolves 2 books for them, after all, we do need to admire those other animals out there.
Fae evil, good or neutral, full blood or Halfling, 2 books with our favourite super models of the paranormal world. Unless, of course, you can find a book featuring brownies or pixies or pictsies (my salute to a very much missed Terry Pratchett)

I'm in.

Aminko--can I admire your good taste in reading material? I've read 7 of the books on your list, and as a result, have just added the other 3 books to my ever expanding TBR Mountain Range. (If you are interested, the 3 I haven't read are Darkness Awakened and Hunted by a Jaguar and finally Fighting Destiny. I figure if you want to read 7 of the books I've already read and enjoyed, it might behoove me to pay attention to the other 3 books in your list. Now, to just find time to work my way through the roughly 2.5k or so books on that tbr mountain range. . . .

I'll play!

Hi Ann - What a lovely compliment. I had to laugh at your description of your TBR mountain. It appears to be a common problem for many of us but I suspect we'd not have it any other way. I love the Felicity Heaton series so I hope you enjoy it too. The other two I've not read before myself but the synopsis sound promising. Hopefully I've not lead you astray.

5/10 (which, considering how many books I've read this month is hard to believe--but most of them have been aliens rather than our favourite monsters--36 books so far. . .)
