Blue Fire Saga by Scott Prussing

This is a pretty fun series. I think it's geared more to the younger adult though the characters are college aged. The story line is good though. The only complaint I really have is the interaction between Leesa and Rave. While I like them as a couple I find myself bored with their childish banter. I find myself skipping paragraphs to get around the banter and the redundant recaps throughout the book. I don't really feel that anyone could really pick up the 2nd or 3rd book and be intrigued with the story so all the recaps are acting as a lot of filler and not necessary. Or the author really needs to find a better way to do this, like reminisce or something. I've stuck with the saga though because the plot line really is good. He would just hate me to be his editor ;)

Blood Lines series by Maria Lima

This is an interesting series not written in your currently typical urban fantasy. I really like the main characters back story. She's doesn't truly feel like she fits in to any society but has turned out to be very prominent among all societies in this story line. They're kind of slow in the beginning. I actually had to come back to it because I tried earlier and I was too scattered to focus on the storyline. Once I got into it though I was good. The characters are good and strong. Some are even flawed in a realistic sort of way. I would recommend this. My advice though is to start "Matters of the Blood" when you have no distractions.

Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole

So, this series is fun. It's a paranormal romance. I really like how the author writes. She's good at making sure there's just enough detail to let the reader picture what's going on. No overkill with the details ( a big peeve of mine). She also is good with her character development. It's easy to relate and fall in love with some of the characters and then there are some you can just hate (bad guys, of course). It's almost sad that each book has a new set of characters that the story focuses on. I liked Emma and Lachlain so much I wanted to read more about them. They are mentioned in the other books but nothing like the book that "stars" them. Though this is a romantic series it's not a smutty book. There is more of a real storyline than just the characters falling in love and having sex all the time. I also liked the fact that there is very little vulgar language. I always find it more respectable when the author finds other ways for her characters to express themselves than simply cursing. Cole in particular just says the character is swearing oaths instead of being specific on what the character is saying.

So, I recommend this series. They are easy, quick reads that keep you entertained.
