I posted this to a discussion on Facebook for fans of J.R. Ward . They were asking about other writers you like to read, in the same genre.
I’ve read every book in Kelley Armstrong’s series, just not the latest cause I wait for it to come out in paperback.
I also like Kresley Cole, still looking for a couple of those in secondhand shops. I like Sherrilyn Kenyon’s series but started getting worn out on them.
Others I like are:
Michelle Rowan
Katie MacAlister
Kerrelyn Sparks
Annette Blair – A Witch series with sisters and friends.
Stephanie Rowe – Seems to have stopped writing.
Gerry Bartlett
Tanith Lee
Rachel Vincent – Writes about werecats but has the action and dark side too.
Gena Showalter
Lynsay Sands
Tanya Huff
Evelyn VaughnNot all of them are dark. I like paranormal romance with humour and a light side too.
The newest I found is Natasha Rhodes. She only has a couple out so far but they are very good and quite dark.
I love J.R.Ward, you also read a lot of the same people I do!
Which others do you read Alison? There are a few I have heard good things about but have not read yet. Nice to know what others like.
I'm always disappointed when I buy a book, read it and find it not very good. Great to have feedback from other people who read the same kind of books.
Christine Feehan (tho some of hers can be not so good)
Sherrilyn Kenyon
Rebecca York
Lori Handeland
Jim Butcher
Rachel Caine
Patricia Briggs
Lynn Viehl
Jacquelyn Frank
Kelley Armstrong
Those are just the ones off the top off my head for the moment! I know what you mean, I hate being disappointed.
I saw one by Patricia Briggs somewhere but did not pick it up at the time. I already had enough books picked out for the budget to handle. I really thought she sounded good though. I've kept the name in my mind to look for more.
