some suggestions similar to...?

Question

i just read the book A Great and Terrible Beauty & its sequel, Rebel Angels. is there any other books out there similar to these? or similar to the book Twilight and its sequel, New Moon? give site, suggestions, or lists of stuff. thanks!

Answer 1

Those are two of my favorite series as well!

If you like vampires, I would suggest "The Silver Kiss" by Annette Curtis Klause. If you enjoy werewolves, go for "Blood and Chocolate" by the same author.

I just read a book called "Ophelia" by Lisa Klein that was fantastic.

There's a series called "Hallowmere" by Tiffany Trent coming out in the fall (it's a while to wait, I know), and the first book is titled "In the Serpent's Coils." I got to read an ARC of it last month and it was really good.

I really enjoyed "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke, but if footnotes bother you, skip it.

Also, "Stardust" by Neil Gaimen is really good.

Hope this helps!

A good series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books provide an alternate take on vampires.People who are unjustly murdered call upon Artemis(Greek goddess) and she grants them a day to avenge themselves.After that they are recruited to her army to fight against evil.These are romance novels.Best of the series are 'Dance with the devil' and 'Seize the night'.

'Bitten' and the rest of the books in the series by Kelley Armstrong.They are about Elena,the only female werewolf in the world.She was made a werewolf against her will by her boy friend.She rebels and runs away to Canada where she has been living as a normal human.However she is called back by her Pack leader when an emergency threatens the Pack.

Savage and Ascension by Kelley Armstrong.Both are available free from the author's website.They tell the story of Clayton(Elena's boyfriend),how he was made a werewolf,how Jeremy rescued the feral child wolf and earned Clayton's undying gratitude,and how Clayton became someone to reckon with in his Pack.Told in 1st person from Clayton's view,it is poignant and touching at times and humorous.We understand how his childhood influenced his later life.

Hunter's moon,Moon's web are novels written by Cathy Clamp and C.T. Adams about a werewolf Tony Giodone who is an assassin-for-hire by profession.It is written from Tony's first person POV (point of view).Tony meets his new client, one Suzi Quentin. She wanted someone offed. Well, this is child's play to our boy...um...wolf...Tony. Only she knocks him for a loop when she tells him the name of the person she wants killed - herself!So begins the story.

Prime vampire novels by Susan Sizemore is interesting.The best of the lot is the 4th book 'Master of Darkness.' Reluctant vampire hunter Eden Faveau thinks Laurent is her new partner in an investigation to take down a local vampire drug ring. Laurent is really a renegade vampire from the Tribe Manticore and he is in the right place at the right time to take advantage of Eden. He needs her computer expertise to hack a laptop that he stole from the Tribe leader, Justinian.
