Books not meant for tweens

[Bell Kalika]

Hey everyone!

I am looking for books of a more adult nature vs teen read. I'm not into horror but a little fantasy and suspense are always fun.
Lately I've read the Argeneau Vampires collection - but it was getting too repetitive and I can't bring myself to read the last 3 books in the series
I've read the entire Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost
And I finished the Hunger Games Trilogy just a few days ago - I disliked the reality of these books - I couldn't put them down but think that I'll be having nightmares for awhile.
I've read a lot of Nora Roberts, but I honestly feel it's time for something new and different, any suggestions?

If you like low fantasy (fantasy with more real life elements in them as opposed to a completely fantastical world with high magic components and such) then I would recommend Kushiel's Legacy series by Jacqueline Carey. Great books. Some parts get intense, but overall, some of the best adult literature I've read. 3nodding

I'd recommend the A Song of Ice and Fire series but that's epic fantasy (and definitely not meant for tweens.) For low fantasy my biggest recommendation is Robert E. Howard's Conan of Cimmeria (better known as Conan the Barbarian) series of novelettes.

Thank you! I will have to check that out.
