I am on book 4 at the moment and just loving them - I really don't want them to end. Has anyone read them and enjoyed them? If so, what did you read next?

FnD: I'm more of a Damon girl myself - he is hot!

Team: Looks like you may be the first to start - let us know what it is like.

Sandy, FnD, What have you got me reading!!!

This Lara Adrian book is so erotic and Im only on chapter 4.

Its lucky Ive got an e-reader so nobody can see what Im reading, I dont think Ill be able to read it in work its that smutty. Id get the sack!

FnD · 04/02/2010 19:54

we weren't lying when we said it was vampire porn. Why do you think sandy's exhausted DH has got such a smile on his chops???
Is it any good though? Sandy I am loving LA - am going to finish it tonight.

Sandy22 · 04/02/2010 21:01

Hi FnD & Team:

Team: OMG can't wait to read the Lara Adrian book

FnD: Yeh I too am loving LA - don't think I will finish it for a couple of days - it's a thick book isn't it?

Hi everyone,

Read quite a lot of paranormal stuff.

Black Dagger Brotherhood - the best.
Kresley Cole good if you like a dominant vampire/werewolf
Larissa Ione's Demonica series - hot - bit like BDB - Shade is superb!
Gena Showalter - Lords of Underworld series -good too
Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunters series - some better than others - Acheron the best.
Mathilde Madden -- Silver Collar trilogy - v. sexy!!!
Jaid Black - Sci Fi Porn

After Twilight there is a whole sexy paranormal ficton world out there. Just go to Amazon.co.uk Listmania and type BDB and it'll give you a whole list of related literature.

Happy Reading

Sandy22 · 05/02/2010 19:21

Hi I8toys: I have been looking at the Demonica Series - have you rad the Lara Adrian series?

teamcullen · 06/02/2010 09:22

Sandy, FnD, Yes Im enjoying the Lara Adrian book.

The vampire in question is called Lucan Thorn and he definatly knows how to treat a woman.

Im about a third way through and DH is definatly getting the benefit of this book.

Sandy22 · 06/02/2010 10:20

Team: Great - can't wait to start it - you will probably be on book 2 or 3 by the time I finish the BDB books.

I8toys · 06/02/2010 15:05

Sandy,

Yes read Kiss of Midnight, Kiss of Crimson and Midnight Awakening - liked them but not as much as BDB - nothing compares really but Larissa Ione comes pretty close - would recommend.

I lent my copy of Dark Lover (in a drunken moment)to a friend last night - feel a little bereft now! But did warn that I wanted it back! This was after watching Twilight for the umpteenth time at 3.00 in the morning.

I8toys · 06/02/2010 15:08

FnD · 06/02/2010 15:14

Have just finished LA and am BEREFT. Sandy - I loved it - might even be my favourite!!!! Cannot wait until the new one comes out.
I8 - am so glad you have found us

Sandy22 · 06/02/2010 16:18

I8Toys: Thanks so much for the list - always on the look out for new series to read. Think I will do the Lara Adrian Midnight Breeds series and then try the Demonica Series.

FnD: I'm nowhere near finished - just been too busy - I think LA is taking me a while to get into but now you have said it might be your favourite it has spurned me on . Are you going to start Lara Adrian or are you having a break??

OP posts:
FnD · 06/02/2010 16:33

A break???? are you mad? am going to crack straight on with Lara because I now really want to read the demonica series. Sandy, pull yourself together and repeat after me " I must not let real life get in the way of the brotherhood". Now stop mucking about on mumsnet and get reading

Sandy22 · 06/02/2010 19:25

FnD: "I must not let real life get in the way of the brotherhood".

I'm really jealous that your starting Lara Adrian - right I'm going to spend tonight reading LA. I too want to get to the Demonica Series - trouble is can DH keep up

OP posts:
teamcullen · 08/02/2010 16:32

I finnished Kiss of Midnight yesterday and Im now reading Kiss of Crimson.

Im enjoying this series, but I havent had anything to compare it to apart from Twilight which is a completly different ball game, ( with the total lack of proper sex scenes and all that.) It will be interesting to see what you think about them.

Have you started yet FnD? What do you think?

FnD · 08/02/2010 19:41

Hi TC - I am about halfway through and like it enough to have got the next 2 today. I think I prefer the black dagger lot - am not sure Lucan is a likeable kind of vampire but it took me a while to get into the first of the brotherhood books.

Sandy - I am assuming by your absence that you are reading LA - are you liking it any more?

I am so tired - it's really hard working full time, having children and trying to maintain a vampire sleaze obsession

teamcullen · 08/02/2010 20:39

FnD- I know what you mean about Lucan, he grows on you in the end, but he's no Edward Cullen.

The next book is Dante's story. Its a bit slower than the first book- Im a third way through with hardly any sex scenes.

Ill carry on though and will probably get the rest of the series. I think I will have to get the Black dagger books in hard copy...I can see an obsession growing.

Sandy22 · 08/02/2010 20:43

Hi FnD & Team: I'm trying my best to get through LA but I'm just knackered - was up to midnight last night - even taped 24 so I could read. Hmmm doesn't seem as many sex scenes - am I going to be disappointed? Team: you really need to get the BDB books

OP posts:
teamcullen · 08/02/2010 20:51

Sandy- I definatly will but Ill work my way through these first

MrsNorthman · 09/02/2010 20:37

Hi Popped back to see how you were all getting on with your naughty Vampire books!! (had my nose in the True Blood books - now on book 9 - phew!) TeamCullen .... made me laugh just now when you said there were hardly any sex scenes!!

Thanks for the recommendations ..... loads there to keep husband me happy for monts!!

MrsNorthman · 10/02/2010 16:37

Just purchased The Blackdagger Brotherhood box set from Amazon .... should keep me busy and out of trouble for a bit!!

Sandy22 · 10/02/2010 17:10

Hi Mrs Northman - make sure hubbie is taking extra vitamins - he'll need them .

FnD: Still on book 7 and really loving it.

Team: How are the Midnight Breed books?

OP posts:
FnD · 10/02/2010 18:16

Oooh MrsN - am so jealous of you discovering the BDB . Sandy - told you book 7 was good! I think Rhev could almost be up there with Wrath for me! I have finished the first book - TeamC you were right- Lucan grows on you. Flicked through the 2nd last night and was most concerned to see you are right about the lack of sex . That is just not acceptable .

Sandy22 · 10/02/2010 18:29

FnD: Yes I too wish I was a BDB virgin . Yes, your right I'm loving Rhev but Zsadist will always hold a special place in my hearts. Hmmmm lack of sex - no - not acceptable.

MrsNorthman · 10/02/2010 20:54
