It's only fitting that my first "review" give credit to the series that started all of this....The Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire series, by Charlaine Harris. My sister recommended these books to me as light reading on a tropical vacation, and I proceeded to devour the 7 published books in this series.
If you're relatively new to either paranormal fantasy or romance books, Dead Until Dark, book 1 in this series is a great place to start.
Charlaine Harris has dreamed up a wonderful, funny world in small-town Louisiana, where vampires have joined mainstream society, thanks to the development of synthetic blood. Spunky heroine, mind-reading Sookie Stackhouse leads the reader on her zany adventures, looking for love with new boyfriend, Vampire Bill.
I love this series, although without reveling anything, I will warn that after major investment in the characters (and I will admit I was seriously sucked in), certain developments left me fairly upset. I literaly had to put the books aside for a few days before I could finish reading. I felt like Joe on "Friends" when he had to put Little Women in the freezer after he found out Beth dies. After my "freezer break" I finished the rest of the published books, and I still love this series.
If you're new to romance, this is a great first venture, primarily because you'll find these in the Fantasy/SciFi aisle of your local bookstore...so no walk of shame down the romance aisle, if you're not quite ready for that. :)
