Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning is an excellent paranormal romance novel that is sure to leave you wanting more. MacKayla, or Mac, thought everything in life was perfect, until she had to identify the brutally murdered body of her sister. Grief stricken and frustrated with the Irish detectives, Mac finds herself leaving the states and flying to Ireland to help track down her sister’s murderer. Mac soon realizes that she led an incredibly sheltered life back home in the south, and things are not always as the appear. It doesn’t take long for her to pair up with an unusual ally who starts to teach her about the world of faeries and how to use her special gifts to track down a missing book. Moning creates a fun new paranormal world while adding in a bit of Irish folklore. Filled with the darker side of the Irish fae and interesting characters, readers are sure to get caught up in this addictive series.

Witches of East End is Melissa de La Cruz's first adult paranormal romance novel. Previously, we have known and loved her young adult series such as Blue Bloods and Au Pairs, and now we can continue to love another series. In this novel we meet Joanna and her two daughters Ingrid and Freya. All three are immortal beings with magical gifts who, unfortunately, have been banned from using their talents in the human world. Of course, things are starting to change and the women are growing restless after centuries without their magic. Before long, all three are using their magic in the small town of North Hampton and hoping that the higher-ups don't smite them. Problems arise when a man is murdered and a young girl goes missing. Soon, all of the townspeople are looking at the three women who seem to be helping people but may in fact be witches practicing black magic. Overall I enjoyed this book, especially the last 80 pages when all of the action and plot started to come together. De La Cruz always does an amazing job of leading up to the next book; I always finish her books wanting to know more about the story. Her mythology was a nice twist and I am hoping the other books look at the women's pasts a bit more. Another stregngth of De La Cruz, is her talent to weave the characters' past lives slowly into their current lives. My one complaint is that I wanted more interaction in the beginning between the three characters. Each one went about their own life completely separate from their family members. At times, I felt like I was reading three different books. Towards the end the three women started coming together and I am hopeful that the next book will have them solving problems together, or least have more daily interactions. And needless to say, I do plan to read the next one as soon as she has finished writing it. We were luck enough to get an advance copy of this book while we were at the book expo in May, but don't worry it will be out June 21st-get your pre-order in now.

This is the fifth book in the Otherworld series, and yes I am still hopeless addicted to this series. In this one, we finally find out more about Delilah and her new "gift" from the Autumn Lord. As always, there is plenty of action, both normal fighting and magical. The best part about this series, is that the characters continue to grow and develop. Galenorn does a great job of keeping things progressing rather than becoming the same thing again and again, and after five books that is impressive. I also like that each book in the series focuses on one sister giving the readers a chance to really get to know each one individually while still continuing the overall story. This is by far my favorite paranormal romance series since you have the best of everything,witch, were, and vampire, all with an attitude and humor.

Darkling by Yasmine Galenorn is the third book featuring the D'Artigo sisters.  We finally get the back story of the youngest sister and vampire, Menolly.  There are new vampires killing in Seattle and Menolly will not allow this to continue, but is she ready to face her sire and dark past?  As the series continues I find myself getting more and more sucked in.  Typically, I have to run out and get the next book immediately because I have to know what is happening with the sisters.  This one was a little darker to me than the other two, but that was to be expected based on what I already new about Menolly's past.  It was also interesting to see the world only at night.  In the past two books the girls tended to work non-stop day or night, but since Menolly can only go out at night her progress was a bit slower.  (Don't confuse this with the pace of the book; all three books so far are quick reads due to all of the suspense.)  Once again, a great paranormal series that will cure the witch, shapeshifter, and vampire craving in one book. 

I just finished reading Yasmine Galenorn's book Witchling and I am already dying to read the next book; Witchling is the first book in the Sister of the Moon series. The series starts out with us meeting three sisters, Camille who is a witch, Delilah who is a werecat, and Menolly who is a vampire. The sisters are all part faerie and part human, which tends to reek havoc on their gifts. The girls have been sent to Earth to protect the world from any violent supernaturals, and especially from any demons. Before long, the girls find out that demons have come to Earth and now they are fighting to save their home-world as well as Earth. I definitely read paranormal books for the magic, and Galenorn didn't let me down. There were several supernatural fights as well as everyday magic use. I also enjoyed the faerie world that Galenorn has created, and I am eager to read more about the Otherworld in the upcoming books. Needless to say, I have already set the next two books aside and can't wait to start them.

I recently finished reading Kelley Armstrong's newest novel, Waking the Witch, and have to say it was a fun book to read. The story was full of witches and other paranormal beings, which always keeps thing a little more interesting. This is the eleventh book in Armstrong's Otherworld Series. You don't necessarily have to read all of the other books to appreciate the story, but past events were mentioned so it wouldn't hurt to read the entire series in order. This is a coming of age story about a young witch, Savannah, trying to prove herself as a young supernatural PI. Savannah takes on a case involving three murdered girls, and a rather strange town full of possible suspects. It doesn't take long to discover that this town is full of secrets. Savannah is an entertaining character to read. She is a bit full of herself, but for the most part knows her limits and knows when to ask for help. However, she does have a tendency to make snide remarks, which I found to be rather amusing. I would have liked a little more spell casting from the characters, but overall I enjoyed the book.
