WOW! I cannot believe I waited so long to read this series! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Definitely in my top favorite series of all! The World and Night Prince books go great with the series and add to the diversity of the characters. If my to be read list wasn't so long I would read this series over now just to see if I missed anything! You MUST read this series if you have not done so!

1. Secret Vampire 2. Daughters of Darkness 3. Spellbinder
4. Dark Angel 5. Chosen 6. Soul Mate
7. Huntress 8. Black Dawn 9. Witchlight
10. Strange Fate- due on Who knows?

My thoughts on this series:
Well I read this series because they were all re-released and I thought the last book, Strange Fate, would be coming out soon. THEN, after reading all 9 of these stories, I learned that these books were written in the '90s... the last one coming out in '98 as a matter of fact. Sooooo.... Here we are 12 years later waiting for THE END of the series. The last 3 stories, especially, were all working toward an ENDING that you NEVER get to read. The books were good, but I ABSOLUTELY HATE when a series has no end. Pisses me off. I am seriously thinking I won't read it when it does finally come out.

Darkyn series by Lynn Viehl

2. Private Demon
3. Dark Need

5. Evermore
6. Twilight Fall
7. Stay the Night
Novella- Master Of Shadows
Novella- Midnight Blues
Novella- Incarnatio
SS- Worthy
SS- Willing
SS- Wanted

My thoughts on the series:
This series was very hard for me to get into. But I gave it a few tries and finally, after like book 3, I understood the Darkyn world and it made reading the books easier. There are a couple stories that I especially loved. If you are wanting to read a series that you will love every book of- this is not for you. BUT if you are willing to give this world a try, you won't be disappointed after a couple books.

The Embraced by Anya Bast

1. Blood of the Rose
2. Blood of the Raven
3. Blood of the Angel
4. Blood of the Damned

My thoughts on the series:
I loved these books! Way hot 'n heavy though (for all you shy types, lol). The stories were each well written and well delivered. Some not so believable parts that Anya Bast makes you believe. And the love scenes are off the charts hot!

Highlands Series by Lynsay Sands

1. Devil of the Highlands
2. Taming the Highland Bride
3. The Hellion and the Highlander

My thoughts on the series:

My thoughts on this series:
I love my Highlanders almost as much as my vampires and weres. These guys are so hot with their Scottish accents, that I swear I hear in my head when they talk, their ripped abs, that I wish I could touch, and their kilts, which I wish I could get under *wink wink.
