It's been a while since I posted about my series reading. I have been trying to read more and finish some off especially ones I had started a while ago. Life though has had other plans.
Kathy Reichs
Temperance Brennan
Genre: Crime
Using her own experience as a real life forensic anthropologist, Kathy Reichs has a series with main character Temperance Brennan. Tempe is not like her character in the TV series, Bones. For one thing, she's older, she's a divorced mother, and she is better with people. She also splits her time between Quebec and North Carolina, though the last book was set in South America.

Keri Arthur
Dark Angels
Genre: Dark Urban Fantasy with romantic elements
Urban fantasy, spinoff from the Riley Jenson, Guardian series. Risa Jones is all grown up - born from a lab-enhanced clone werewolf mother and an Aedh father, she can not only talk to the souls of the dying and the dead, but she can see the reapers and walk the gray fields that divide this world from the next. There's much mayhem in the action packed books. A great continuation of the Riley Jensen world (who does make brief appearances). Be prepared for American spelling even though it's set in Australia.

Up to: #1 - Fireborn
Outcast
Genre: Futuristic fantasy
"When the bombs that stopped the species war tore holes in the veil between this world and the next, they allowed entry to the Others—demons, wraiths, and death spirits who turned the shadows into their hunting grounds. Now, a hundred years later, humans and shifters alike live in artificially lit cities designed to keep the darkness at bay....
As a déchet—a breed of humanoid super-soldiers almost eradicated by the war—Tiger has spent her life in hiding. But when she risks her life to save a little girl on the outskirts of Central City, she discovers that the child is one of many abducted in broad daylight by a wraith-like being—an impossibility with dangerous implications for everyone on earth.
Because if the light is no longer enough to protect them, nowhere is safe..."

Lizzie Grace
Genre: Urban fantasy
In a world where magic and science sit side by side, and powerful witches are considered necessary aides for all governments, Lizzie Grace is something of an outlier. Though born into one the most powerful blue blood witch families, she wants nothing to do with either her past or her magic.
But when she and Belle, her human familiar and best friend, open a small cafe in the Faelan werewolf reservation, she quickly finds herself enmeshed in the hunt for a vampire intent on wreaking bloody havoc.
It’s a hunt that soon becomes personal, and one that is going to take all her skills to survive–that’s if the werewolves, who hate all things witch, don’t get her first.

Love at Stake
Genre: Paranormal romance
A series where there Roman Draganesti and his allies are fighting on two fronts. As vampires who do not kill for their food, they are fighting against other vampires who don't care for human life. They are also up against humans who think them demons and need to be killed. So far the books have been humourous, romantic and full of action.

Other Kylie series I have on my TBR pile that I haven't started yet are:
Stage Dive
Genre: Erotic romance
Rock 'n' roll romances.
Book 1: "Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.
One thing is for certain, being married to rock and roll’s favourite son is sure to be a wild ride"
Up to: #1: Lick
Dive Bar
Genre: Erotic romance
"The last thing Vaughan Hewson expects to find when he returns to his childhood home is a broken hearted bride in his shower, let alone the drama and chaos that comes with her.
Lydia Green doesn't know whether to burn down the church or sit and cry in a corner. Discovering the love of your life is having an affair on your wedding day is bad enough. Finding out it's with his best man is another thing all together. She narrowly escapes tying the knot and meets Vaughan only hours later.
Vaughan is the exact opposite of the picture perfect, respected businessman she thought she'd marry. This former musician-turned-bartender is rough around the edges and unsettled. But she already tried Mr. Right and discovered he's all wrong-maybe it's time to give Mr. Right Now a chance.
After all, what's wrong with getting dirty?"
