Fright Night Blog Hop






Hello Lovelies!
 
In Ohio, the trees are just stunning at this time of year. The nights are longer and cooler, perfect for curling up with a hot cuppa tea and a good book.
 
October is my favorite time of year to read spooky and paranormal tales. It’s the time of year when the creaking and groaning you’ve attributed to the house settling could possibly be an ancient vampire rising from his coffin. The howling wind rattling the windowpanes may just be a banshee’s wail. And the wolf you see roaming around under the light of the full moon could in fact be your neighbor who just shifted.
 
We can’t leave out the ghosties and goblins lurking the halls or the Fae dancing in their fairy rings atop the hill.  
 
I’m sure I’ve barely even scratched the surface of the beasties that could be roaming among you during the weeks leading up to Halloween. Between Shifters of all kinds and Vamps galore, the book world is filled with all kinds of weird and wonderful reads that will keep you occupied.

 




So here are a few my go to read:

 

Anything Molly Harper—Not only will her paranormal romances have you gigglesnorting, they will have quoting random Mollyisms and falling in love with the unbelievable amazing undead heroes or perhaps a naked werewolf or two.

 

The Midnight Liaisons series by Jessica Sims—Honestly, how can a series revolving around a paranormal dating agency not be entertaining?

 

The Scandals with Bite series by Brooklyn Ann—Finally a romance has passed by Dracula and went straight to the source of the gentleman vampire. Sexy, sensual, and full of bit you this series is definitely something you want to sink your teeth into.

 

Christine Warren—Love, love, love anything by this lovely lady. Out on the Prowl was the first were-tiger book that I read.

 

Heart of the Wolf series by Terry Spear—I devour her wolves. Any she has such as lovely choice to choose from, but trust me, you’ll want to read them all.

 

And I couldn’t leave out my favorite classics.

 

Dracula by Bram Stoker

 

The Vampyre by Polidori

Judy Peterson said...

I will read most vampire and shifters books. I have enjoyed Molly Harper's "Maked Werewolf Series", Terry Spear's, "Heart of the Wolf Series I have and need to start(I know I well love it) & the classic's like Dracula, Frankenstine and Dorian Grey by the original authors all always great. I would like to add B D Reynolds- "Vampires in America Series" and Patricia Briggs- "Mercy Thompson Series". But this is a very long and distinguished list of extreme excllents for my affection for certain author's writtings. I have a lot of love for books and series that other people have listed and have written down some I have not run across before so I can check them out. HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all!

Renee B said...

My go to paranormal has always been shifters. I especially love G. A. Aiken's Dragon Kin series. Those books are full of humor, sexy dragons and spitfire heroines. Every one of her books has made me laugh out loud while reading them. I also like Shelly Laurenston’s Pack/Pride series.

(Shelly is the alter ego{or vise versa} of G. A. Aiken) Those books are full of humor, sexy shifters and spitfire heroines. I re-read all of the above books when I need a pick me up.

Thanks for being part of this fun hop and for the
chance to win. <^_^>

Michelle Willms said...

I didn't even know Molly Harper wrote paranormals! (or not shifter/vamp style paras, anyway). I love almost anything paranormal, so I'm not picky as long as the writing's good and the plot exists.

Michelle Willms said...

I love almost anything paranormal (especially urban fantasy), if it's well-written with a great plot.

Eva Millien said...

My go to paranormal list matches yours with the exception of Brooklyn Ann (haven't read hers yet...but I am going to get right on that) and the addition of Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, JR Ward, Lynsay Sands, Kerrelyn Sparks and quite a few others. Happy Halloween and thanks for the giveaway.

I adore Karen Chance's work, which may have something to do with the insane situations her characters end up in and all the snark.

Robin Malone said...

I love paranormal romance. It's a great escape from the reality of real life situations sometimes. lol
