Just thought I'd change the subject line and throw in my own two cents worth. I am a romantic and a lover of fantasy and romance. Vampires are indeed the tragic heroes, walking the night alone, never being understood and in a lot of books, constantly afraid that their dark side and the beast within will override their good judgment and they will lose their humanity. I couldn't read all of the anne Rice stuff, but my introduction back to vampire land started with the Carpathian series by christine Feehan and it's just escalated from there. I also love books about shifters. There is an excellent book called Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singhe. It's what I would call a futuristic paranormal and is available on bookshare. I thoroughly enjoyed the Circle Trilogy and am always looking for more fiction books which give a realistic representation of witchcraft, or at least a decent representation based on some of the principals of wicca. Ahh, and how could I forget J. R. Ward's Black dagger Brotherhood series, also on bookshare? For me it is the mystery and the allure which draws me to these types of stories.
