As for the Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunters, have you read the Chronicles of Nick YA series. It is in the same Dark Hunter World and could shead some light on the final battle to come.I an looking forward to Styxx's story coming in August. It will be a little longer than Ach's book. She has said that the timeline will be coinciding with Acheron's book. She also has been sharing alot of pencil sketchs on facebook that are supposedly done by Styxx. She is my autobuy. I still enjoy all these series and more because it is the stories that I love. Last edited by auntykatkat; 05-31-2013 at 04:27 PM. |

Ah, remember that the first novel is really not the first she wrote in the series. It was a novella in the Fantasy Anthology called the Awakening.

See, at one time I loved Sherrilyn Kenyon, but I really couldn't hang in there after Acheron's book, which was a fantastic book! I thought she did a really great job with Acheron's story. I have that book in hard back print and I'm never getting rid of it. But the ones I think right before Acheron and right after were just blah for me. It's not that unusual for me to lose interest in some series, especially if they drag out. This goes back to when I was a teenager and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series! Eventually, I just had to give up. The other thing that will happen is that I'll stall out on a series. For whatever reason, not because of the author or the story, but because my mind is not in the right place or something, I'll just stall in a series and can't drum up the motivation to finish a book. Then, sometimes years later, I'll come back the book and the series and feverishly devour it as quickly as possible! I have very strange reading habits. I have the 1st book of the Chronicles of Nick as an audiobook, because I had heard that it was good. I got it hoping that it would get me back into Sherrilyn Kenyon, but I haven't had time to listen to it yet. Hmmm.... maybe I should move that one up my TBR list. My friends and I constantly joke about how we need to get shirts with a saying that we have coined in our little book club circle: "I have that book, but I haven't read it yet." |

She's was writing futuristic paranormal romance before it had a label (and has often joked it nearly killed her writing career being so far ahead of the curve. The lack of sales originally for her futuristic Lost Colony series is what led to her publishing historicals under the Quick penname). As much as I do enjoy her current Arcane series, my favorites are her straight contemps from the 90s written as Jayne Ann Krentz, her early, one-word title historicals as Amanda Quick and the Psynergy trilogy and early World of Harmony/Ghost Hunter books as Jayne Castle. Many of her Harlequin books are dated, but I enjoyed most of the ones written for Silhouette as Stephanie James moreso than the Harlequin Temptations as JAK (though I have not read her complete backlist yet). On another note, I've got 3 more full length books plus 3 novellas (and her website short stories) to go in the Psy-Changeling series. |

I prefer to read contemporary romances set in the late 80s through the 90s when technology wasn't so intrusive and it didn't solve everything. I have her book Midnight Jewels I just noticed. Any more recommendations on her Contemporary titles? I'll add them to my TBR list. I have the lost Colony series first two books. |
