House of Night is one of my favorites. The books are relitively cheap, but try to find them in paper-back, it's cheaper. Some books don't have a paper-back option. If you get the hardcover--open up the coversheet. There's art inside! The series is based around Zooey Redbird, a Marked Vampyre. It has a lot of Wiccan themes, and I find that it is very well written in those aspects. It does have a few romance themes that make you want to punch yourself in the face, but it's rather good. Don't worry, they leave you on cliffhangers but P.C. and Kristen write the books rather quickly.


Zoe Martinique Investigation Series is absolutely AMAZING. It's hilarious, because Zoe has a special gift of astral projection. She often does this, spies on people--works as a private investigator of sorts. The does all investigations in her black bunny slippers, there's a lot of comedy and pop-culture references. However, at one point Zoe goes on a job and her entire world turns upside down. It's hilarious, but serious too. Very fun read.

The Parasol Protecterate Series is a bit of a difficult read if you're not into Steampunk. However, it's very good. Our main character is a badass mortal woman who is married to a Werewolf. her best friend is a vampire, and she often gets herself into a bit of trouble. But she's not a woman to mess with, she wears the pants so to speak, and tends to send darts from her parasol--knock you out, and still have time for tea. Very funny read, can be a bit difficult, but it's magnificent.

The Anita Blake series is probably my number-one favorite. It centers around Anita Blake, an animator(she raises the dead) and Vampire Executioner. She's a hard ass, takes-no-bullshit woman, and is the vampire's equivilent of the "Boogie Man". She often works along side the police in effort to solve preternatural murders. This book has Weres(Tigers, Wolves, Leopards, Jaguars, and a lot more), Vampires, Witches, Ghosts, Nagas, and all kinds of the supernatural goodness. It's a wonderful read, and Anita is a total badass who's a great inspiration for women. However, shortly after Obsidian Butterfly, Anita gets rather fucking irritating, and I never managed to read beyond that.[/center]

note: i haven't necessarily finished all of these series due to my library's suckiness and the vow of my mother not buy anymore books until i read the few i've got, but i've started all of these and loved all of them so far.

also i'll probably add more to this later because i've probably forgotten a ton.

also i read most of these three+ years ago so there you go
