I've realized that I cant occupy myself with young adult novels [unless their historical] and that I'm drawn to adult novels. Generally adult romances with several different sub-genres.
I'd have to say that The Dark-Hunter series, The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, The Breed series, and the Darkyn series are by far my favorites.
All are fantasy/paranormal series by different authors that are very interesting and intriguing.Dark-Hunter, Black Dagger, and Darkyn are all vampire series but all three have different views on vampires.
Dark-Hunter 'vampires' aren't even technically vampires, they're Artemis' [yes the Greek Goddess] creation to fight against her brothers super race.
Black Dagger Brotherhood 'vampires' are vampires but they have their own 'God' well... 'Goddess' and have their own history of creation and religious ceremonies.
Darkyn 'vampires' are vampires too but most were Templar Knights and they all believed they were cursed by God for using his name as a reason to fight.
Anyone else got adult series they read?

I read more erotica and comtemprary-romance novels. Right now some of my favorite authors are Brenda Jackson, Eric Jerome Dickey, Mary B. Morrison and Zane and Velvet. (African- American Authors)
Eric Jemome Dickey is currently writting a assasin series that I've really gotten into. He just published the four book of the series.
Brenda Jackson has a whole list of book that are coming out next year and she's republishing a series that I'm currently reading The Madaris Family series. Morrison, Zane and Velvet are more erotic.

The Sword of Truth series is REEEEALLY good. I hate all the disgusting rape and what not that takes place in it, but the story and themes are SO GOOD that I don't mind the disgusting parts.

Dark-Hunter novels are the s**t, Hands down.
Though, It irks me just a bit that you seem disappointed that they aren't vampires.

Shelilah The Sword of Truth series is REEEEALLY good. I hate all the disgusting rape and what not that takes place in it, but the story and themes are SO GOOD that I don't mind the disgusting parts. I know this may cause me to lose some points,
But I love rape scenes in certain novels.

Hmm.. well I don't have any Vampire novels to suggest to you but have you read the Mystique trilogy by Traci Harding? It's about a bloodline of psychic archeologists and I think you might enjoy it. The first book jumps between the stories of three woman, all tying in to the story about a quest for immortal power. The theme is generic but the execution is intelligent and the background is detailed and interesting. All adult content is only modestly alluded to but hey, you can't have it all wink

I'd suggest Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series. There are no vampires, but it is a very well-written and interesting series. It combines politics and intrigue with...romance.
I'd pick them over Laurell K Hamilton any day. The writing in the Anita Blake series starts bad and gets steadily worse, and the story never lives up to the potential that the idea holds. I find them disappointing.

For erotica and paranormal together, try Hamilton's Merry Gentry series. It is so effing good!

 I don't really read vampire books, but A Song of Ice and Fire is a really good series. OMG, they're making an HBO series for it, it's going to be freaking awesome.

I'm incredibly well-read when it comes to... Yaoi novels by SA Payne. She has a website (sapayne.com) where you can pay to read. 'Heroes and Ghosts' is her best work.

Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series is all right by my standards, although they seem to have lost plot somewhere along the way... Her other works, the Merry Gentry series is about fey. I also read that.
Hmm.. Here are my other readlists:
Charlaine Harris- Southern Vampire series: the only con about this series for me is that it mixes a bit with real life events which I dislike.
Kim Harrison- Rachel Morgan series: is mostly about witches, but includes other supernaturals too.
Kelly Armstrong- Various supernatural books =]

The Anita Blake books lost me at The Harlequin, that's the last book I could actually stomach finishing all the way through.
I tried reading Blood Noir but the fact that she was doing intimate things in like... the first two pages irked me to no end.
Don't misunderstand me, I love sex in stories, I just don't like it every other chapter and with Anita in it. She's become an epic Mary Sue and irritates me. D; A few of my previous LKH series friends call her the Doomcrotch.
Richard also annoys me. <<
Anyway... the series was good up to a point. The non-sex scenes are interesting, it's just sad that those are so few now. Obsidian Butterfly was good, if only because it had so much of Edward in it. Lmao. I love me some psychotic killer. <3 him and Olaf, LOL.

I like The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. Its not erotic or anything but there are some sex scenes. Mostly its a very well constructed world, with a nice balance of female and male characters.
