I really need to check this series out. I've heard such good things about 
it.

Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series is one of my personal 
favorites. Bitten is the first one. She writes about werewolves, witches, 
demons, necromancers, etc. Fabulous urban fantasy.

Hi all,

Has anyone ever read Kim Harrison?  She is my absolute favorite author in
this genre!    She doesn't write exclusively about vampires, but they are
major characters in her stories.  I just read the fifth book in her Rachel
Morgan series over the weekend and I could not put it down!  I know that's a
cliché, but in this case it's 100% true.  I read the whole 450 some page
book in one 24 hour span and I never do that.  She is just such a good
author.  Her series is about a witch, a vampire, and a pixy who are kind of
like bounty hunters.  The books are more suspense and adventure than
romance, but there's a little of that too.  The first book in the series I'm
reading is called This Witch for Hire and it can be found on Bookshare at
http://www.bookshare.org/web/SingleTitle.html?submittitleid=36575.  Can you
tell how much I love these books?  I promise if you're at all into the urban
fantasy or paranormal genres then you will enjoy these books.   I'll paste
the synopsis of the first one at the bottom of this message if anyone's
interested.

Nati, I hope you enjoy the Charlaine Harris series, I like those too.  And
after you mentioned one of the Laurell Hamilton books on list the other day
I went and downloaded
it to read myself. <smile>.

And as for why I like vampires and the paranormal?  I have no idea.  They're
just... intriguing.

Interesting topic, and Meka I liked the subject line change. *smile*.

Best,
Allison
Synopsis for This Witch for Hire by Kim Harrison--

Bounty hunter and witch Rachel Morgan calls the Hollows, the menacing,
magical section of Cincinnati, her home—as do all the supernatural beings
spawned from the Angel virus, the great plague that killed much of humanity.
With her line of work, even the shadows steer clear of her. Yet even a
down-and-out witch can find a friend or two. In Rachel's case, long, cool
Ivy Tamwood, a non-practicing vampire, and Jenks, a testy if astute pixie
whose favorite hang-out is one of Rachel's earrings.

In Dead Witch Walking, Rachel wants to quit the Federal Inderlander Service
and tries to get out of her contract by bending the rules for a captured
leprechaun, who grants her three wishes. But her plan backfires when her
boss casts a deadly spell on her, effectively rendering her homeless,
friendless and, of course, jobless in an instant—until Ivy comes through,
letting her share her digs in a deconsecrated Hollows church. Rachel soon
catches wind of illegal trafficking of the street drug Brimstone, which can
be linked to wealthy businessman Trent Kalamack. Hoping to offer the I.S. a
huge prize to buy out her contract—and cancel the hit still out on
her—Rachel tracks and glamours her way into Kalamack's good graces. But it
isn't until the trail leads her to something even worse than Brimstone that
Rachel realizes how big a powder keg she's sitting on

Funny you named the subject line that way because the circles trilogy
contains all of what you listed. As for me, my introduction to vampires was
The silver kiss by Annette Curtis Klause. Then, I tried to read the Vampire
chronicals by ann Rice, but I don’t know I just didn’t really like it. I
loved the twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and the Vampire diaries by L.J.
Smith. I also enjoy Annita Blake by Laurell K Hamilton. Today I started the
Southern vampire series by Charlaine Harris. It’s too soon to tell but they
seem pretty good so far.As for wicca, the only things I’ve read are  by Nora
Roberts’s the Donovan legacy, and of course circles. What can I say I’m a
romantic fool.
