I would love some book recommendations... I'm in the mood for some sexy vamp/werewolf/supernatural stuff... but first let me run down what I've already read...
All Anita Blake/Merri Gentry All the Trueblood books K Harrison (Elena werewolf) series.
I don't get on with Anne Rice or Sherrilyn(?)Kenyon.
I'm in the mood for some well written stuff but with some hot guys thrown in...any one help????
(Oh and if you like not quite fantasy stuff I HIGHLY recommend Mark Chadbourne - he wrote a series set in the UK where all the old myths came back - the old deities etc.. awesome stuff!)
Thx

Not so much with the hot guys but Fledgling by Octavia Butler is a fabulous (and very different) vampire novel. I love her writing, I think I've read pretty much everything she wrote. "The unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates |

If you want a really different style of vampiric books there is the trilogy by Sergei Lukyanenko:
These books were originally written in Russian. I'm currently reading the Night Watch, and although the edition I've got has some clumsy proofreading and translations in places, the plot is very interesting. It's a bit like The Matrix meets vampires, werewolves, witches and daemons, but all set in Russia.
The Night Watch and Day Watch were made into films too - the plots are loosely based on the books, but read the books first if you can. Well you bit my lip and drew first blood /And warmed my cold, cold heart Edited 29 Apr 10, 10:50 AM by MissAnnThropist |

I enjoyed Robin McKinley's Sunshine - and I'm not usually a fan of the vampire genre. Happiness is unattainable except as a by-product of seeking meaning in a task (S. Jeffries) |

I can thoroughly reccomend "the host" by stephanie meyer (of twilight fame). It's unbelievably good! ...It seemed like a good idea at the time... |

Thank you all, some fab leads to track down, though I do have to say Pink, I am deeply suspicious of that Twilight woman... I caught some of the first one... but Robert Pattinson makes me wanna put a bag on his head. It's pronounced 'Car-Lee' *G* |

For an easy, uncomplicated read try Prowlers series by Christopher Golden http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prowlers-Christopher-Gol... Ok yes aimed at teenagers and by no means classics but a grand series. But I only read them cos the author wrote a lot of the Buffy books! (RAH)² (AH)³ + RO (MA + MAMA) + (GA)² + OOH(LA)² = Bad Romance |

UNDER THE SKIN by Michel Faber. "Isserley always drove straight past a hitch-hiker when she first saw him, to give herself time to size him up. She was looking for big muscles: a hunk on legs. Puny, scrawny specimens were no use to her"... - a woman scouts the Scottish Highlands in search of well-proportioned men and the reader is given to expect the unfolding of some latter-day psychosexual drama. But commonplace expectation is no guide for this strange and deeply unsettling book; small details at first, then more major clues, suggest that something deeply bizarre is afoot. What are the reason's for Isserley's extensive surgical scarring, her thick glasses (which are just glass), her excruciating backache? Who are the solitary few who work on the farm where her cottage is located? And why are they all nervous about the arrival of someone called Amlis Vess? This is a fucking weird book you wont forget in a hurry, like NOTHING else you will read.
