This October, seeing as how it’s the month of
ghouls, goblins, witches, vampires and all things scary and out of the ordinary, I decided that I’d
focus my reading on stories of fantasy, sci-fi and, of course, the paranormal. And so the first half of October saw me
reading some old favorites – catching up with old friends – and finding some
truly wonderful new material. So take a
look at my list and tell me what you think!

The Three Worlds
novels by Jacquelyn Frank (both titles listed above) are amazing stories. Like her Nightwalkers,
Shadowdwellers, and Gatherers
series, these stories feature strong alpha-type hero’s and women with the
power, beauty and confidence to perfectly match them. Her stories are always worth the cost, time
and effort to read and for those of you who decide to pick up one of her books,
no matter what the title or series that it comes from, you will not be
disappointed.
It’s a very rare day that I pick up a Sherrilyn
Kenyon novel and not like the story. The League series, of which all the
aforementioned SK titles belong to, is one that I particularly enjoy because
it’s completely different from the other stories that she’s written, (at least
so far as I’ve read thus far!) and yet they still manages to capture a reader’s
attention and interest almost immediately.
Unlike her Dark-Hunters,
Dream-Hunters, Chronicles of Nick, Brotherhood of the Sword, and Lords of Avalon series, The League is completely fantasy based
with no ‘Earth’ link, which is something that I don’t often find in the genre’s
that I read but that I always seem to like just for the awesome alternatives
that it offers. The next book in this
series is Born of Silence, featuring ‘Darling
Cruel’ the beloved and quirky character that we’ve seen in almost every other League story, and is slated to come out
in April 2012.
The other two books listed – by Gena Showalter and
Jill Monroe – are the first two books in the Royal House of Shadows series being published by Harlequin this
fall. Books three and four, by Jessica Andersen and Nalini Singh respectively, will be available in November (#3) and
December (#4) and like the first two are highly anticipated by readers, fans
and critics alike. Based on the first
two books I would say that the series, when complete, is going to be a very
cool accomplishment and set of works by some of paranormal romances best
authors. (A full review of these books
and the series will come in December, once all the books have been released…
and read by Moi!)
Check out this video trailer for the entire series
– originally from the Paranormal Romance Blog’s source page for this series… I
promise, it is awesome as it looks!

I read a lot of horror and paranormal novels, and always looking for something new, so will be checking out these authors. Good Reads are doing a horror event for the coming month so I'm digging up all my old Lovecraft's :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m also following the WW Blog Hop hosted by 'The World of My Imagination.'
