Literary Addicts October Book Hop WEDNESDAY

To celebrate the leaves changing, here are some of my favorite fall reading recommendations and a gift card to get you started!

These are my current urban fantasy series favorites. These all have an overarching storyline and a romantic subplot, because what’s life without a little love?

1. Karen Moning’s Fever Series- These books are dark, gritty and great. I could write an entire post just dedicated to Barrons.

2. Anne Bishop’s Others Series- I’ve never read anything quite like this. The character development and creativity is inspiring.

3. Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires – This is just one of those series that gives you everything you want, exactly when you want it.

4. Ilona Andrew’s Kate Daniels – If you read urban fantasy, and haven’t heard about this series, I’d be shocked. Great read for all the reasons you’ve probably already heard about.

5. Susan Ee’s Penryn and the End of Days – This book is YA but incredibly dark, bordering on horror. It also grabbed me from the very first page.

6. Donna Augustine’s The Keepers – Oh, you noticed this was my book? What did you expect? It’s my blog. I have to do a little shameless self promotion!

Here is the widget carousel for your convenience and because I like how it spins, lol.

      I completely forgot about Mercy Thompson! I don’t have a countdown yet because I haven’t completely firmed up the release day : ) I’ll post it as soon as it’s final : ) Thanks, Dawn!

      • Will it be released in 2015? I will definitely pre-order it when it becomes available!! 🙂

          Sorry it took me so long to reply to this! I didn’t see it buried in the thread. It’s going to be released by November this year : ) The date keeps moving around so it’s been hard to set up a preorder too far in advance but I appreciate the sentiment! I’m hoping to get it up at least a couple of weeks before hand.

          • This year? Yeah!!! That is VERY good news. 🙂 I will be on the lookout. This news helps ease my disappointment of my failure to locate a copy of Obsidian Souls. 🙁

  3. I’ve read most of what you recommend but I also love the Cat and Bones series by Jeaniene Frost; Rylee Adamson series by Shannon Mayer is fantastic; Rose Gardner Mystery series by Denise Grover Swank isn’t paranormal but Love it; Knights of the Black Swan series by Victoria Danann; and I could name a dozen more but I’ll stop with these. 🙂

  4. Anne Rice’s PRINCE LESTAT is coming out Halloween weekend. I recommend any of her vampire, witch or werewolf books, especially THE VAMPIRE LESTAT.
