These are for the Twilight lovers out there. Since Twilight cannot go on and on forever, these books satisfied my obsession...for a little while :)
House of Night Series by P.C. Cast
This is a 5 book series so far, and another on the way in October. In order, the books are Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, Hunted and Tempted.
These books are addicting and most delightful. It's a whole other world of Vampires.
Here is the description from the website: After she is Marked, 16-year-old Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and learns that she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is mis-using her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny— with a little help from her new vampyre friends.
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra ClareThis is a 3 book series. In order the books are City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass.
These books have had great reviews and for a reason. They are completely fantastic.
“The Mortal Instruments series is a story world that I love to live in. I hate to see the story end, but if it has to end, then City of Glass is the most perfect way for that to happen. Beautiful!” — Stephenie Meyer, author of Twilight
I've even heard some fans say that they like the Mortal Instruments...better than Twilight! Gasp!
Like “Twilight,” vampires and werewolves populate The Mortal Instruments’s fantasy world, but the trilogy is chiefly concerned with more heavenly matters: the nephilim, humans with angel blood in their veins. The series follows 15-year-old Brooklyn girl Clary Fray’s whirlwind introduction to the world of Shadowhunters, nephilim warriors who protect oblivious humans from dangers presented by vamps, werewolves and other kinds of baddies. If you thought that human Bella and vampire Edward’s relationship was fraught with issues, imagine how much more traumatic it is for Clary to find out that the guy she’s in love with might just be . . . . —The New York Post, February 7, 2009
Mercy Thompson Novels by Patricia Briggs
This is 4 books series. In order, the books are, Moon Called, Blood Bound, Iron Kissed and Bone Crossed.
These books are great because you get to see the werewolves' side of things. Not that Mercy is a werewolf, but she was raised by them :)
In the novels, Mercy Thompson is the daughter of a Blackfoot Indian and a white teenage mother. She is a "Walker" (a Native American shapeshifter not linked to the moon) who turns into a coyote, a gift she inherited from her father. A rodeo man, he died a few days after consummating his relationship with her mother.
One day, not too long after Mercy was born, her mother went to her crib only to find a small coyote pup in her place. Afraid and unsure how to raise her, her mother took her to the only place she knew was capable -- relatives of a great-great grandfather, who had been a werewolf. This is how she came to be raised with the pack of Bran, the Marrok of the werewolves.
