Lorre 1) Immortals after Dark by Kresley Cole
2) BDB by JR Ward
3) Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost
4) Cassie Palmer by Karen Chance
5) Midnight Breed by Lara Adrian

Top 5 is really hard cause Jolie Wilkins and Dulcie O'Neil by HP Mallory, Highlander by Karen Marie Moning and The Blue Fire Saga by Scott Prussing should also be in that top 5 LOL

It is hard... I am still thinking on mine... But, you have a great list!!! ;)


message 12: by Lorre (new)

Lorre Katryn, those top 5 or even top 10 are going to get harder and harder cause I seem to love almost all the series I read so much that they end up amongst my favorites. And I've only been reading PNR for a bit more than a year.

Lorre... I completely understand... I have been reading PNR & UF for a long time and believe me... It just keeps getting harder and harder to narrow it down... I find new series all the time and just blown away!!

I just finished Brighid's Quest and have been wondering if there will be a 3rd book, not ready for it to be over!

As for the top 5, super hard choice, think I have to go with series, not in order:
1. Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
2. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
3. Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
4. Outlander by Dianne Gabaldon
5. Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind

So hard to pick only 5 but those are definitely some of my favs!

Hi Laura,
I know what you mean, but I know a few people that have read them. Those are the only PC Cast books I've read and I LOVE them, especially Brighid's Quest. They were some of the first books I'd read after not reading for years and after I was ready to move on from Twilight. Lol.
Would love to chat about them...love to re-read them. And would really love for her to write a new one! ;)

Bella (bellabunnell) | 244 comments Mod
Must add: I listed series for the most part, but I can't believe I missed Creatura by Nely Cab and EVERYTHING by Samantha Young, especially Slumber and the Lunarmorte trilogy. I also really loved Fifty Shades.
*Bri...PC has said she may write another. She gets a ton of requests. I'm not ready for it to be over ever. ;)

Hey, Lisa!

Great choices! I LOVE LOVE LOVE 50 as well. It is hard to pin down your fave few, isn't it. Have your last 3 on the wishlist, Kelley's, most definitely.

Elena | 8 comments Only five? Seriously? That gets me like, to the first third of the top shelf of my bookcase!
Okay, Here goes *deep breath:\
Jane Austen:Pride and Prejudice "Will you pollute the shades of Pemberley?"
Robin McKinley: Sunshine "I didn't hear them coming. But you don't do you, when they're vampires."
Stephen King: Wizard and the Glass "Bird and bear and hare and fish, give my love her fondest wish."
Tanya Huff: The entire Summon the Keeper series (Okay I cheated) "When you two are done with your blatant display of heterosexuality, I'll be in the kitchen."
Tanya Huff: Smoke and Series "Damn, maybe it IS my ass."
