I found this category and started reading comments on various books.  I have always had a fascination with witches and vampires, and really didn't think there were so many authors who had written about them.  I have read many of the Charmed series, a significant amount of Anne Rice, Circle of 3 by Isobel Bird, and many of Nora Roberts books that deal with para normal.  Then, I find this section on PBS, find a couple authors I want to try, and next thing I know, my wish list is bigger and I spent some money at half price books to be able to start right away in case I couldn't get the books I wanted from PBS. 

And the list appears to be getting longer as I read more authors and more of your posts.  Anyone have any characters/authors you love??

ASH from The Dark -Hunters - Sherrilyn Kenyon

And

ANY of the Brotherhood - J.R. Ward

YUMMMMMMMMMM!

Ash from the Dark series

Zarek

Zsadist from Jr Ward

Vishous from JR Ward  Okay any of the JR ward characters.  LOL

Harry Dresden

Doyle from the Merry Gentry books.

way too many!

Elena from the Bitten serires Kelley Armstrong...my favorite...Maybe b/c it was my 1st series???  Actually I like a lot of characters from this series!

Jesse....Author Richelle Mead...Helle's Belle...new series and loved the book...fun!

Zoe....in Wraith by Phaedra Weldon...thought it showed promise as a new series

Dante in the Dante Valentine series by Lillith Saintcrow...While it wasn't the "perfect" series, definately worth the read

Cassandra in the books by Karen Chance...again you can tell she is a new author but I loved the concept! 

Milagro in the Casa Dracula series by Marta Costa...not too deep, a great fun, summer read.  You could place the author Katie McAlister here too.

I'm still playing catch up in the paranormal genre too...I just started reading these types of books this past Christmas...and I too am an addict!  If I think of any others I'll let you know!

I agree with any of the characters in the JR Ward series. 

How did Sookie get left out? Sookie Stackhouse from the Southern Vampire Series by Charlaine Harris. First book is Dead Until Dark.

lol  I left her out because I was thinking hot guys.  I can't believe I forgot about Clay and Jeremy

Well then Bill, Sam, Eric, Quinn and Jason :P

eww on Bill LOL

But I agree with Eric, Clay and Jeremy

And I'm adding Sinclair from the Betsy Series

DEFINATELY all of the Black Dagger Brotherhood

Jean Claude, Asher, Nathaniel, Damian and Jason from Anita Blake Series (Micah too)

Zarek and Ash  from the Dark Hunters.

Aisling, Drake, and Jim from the Katie MacAlister Aisling Grey Series

Doyle, Rhys, Frost from the Merry Gentry Series

Eric, Quinn and Sookie

Jenks from the Rachel Morgan series.

Didn't know we were talking hot guys!!

I second the ew on Bill...but ew on Quinn too...Mr. Clean!  YUCK!!!!  Yuck for Nathaniel too!!!!!!!  But to each is own as they say!

Yum on Clay, Jeremy, Nick, Jean Claude, & Sinclair

 double post sorry!

Hey Mr Clean is Telly Savalas and he was hot but I get Vin Diesel from Quinn.

I think you and I discussed the Vin Diesel before...while that would be good...I still don't picture it! 

Maybe I just force it to be Vin.

I wish I could!!  I just can't get the Mr. Clean/genie picture out of my head........

Maybe this will help http://www.oakparkjournal.com/sports/mr-clean-peters-2005.jpg

That's not Vin is it? 

lol  No that's MR. clean

Whoa...I'm suddenly a big fan of Mr. Clean :)  I may never mop my floor the same way again

No thats not Vin thats just some guy who won a Mr Clean look alike contest.

I haven't read the Sherrilyn Kenyon series yet but the blurbs I have do sound intriguing about "Ash".  I definately like "Sinclair" of the "Undead series" by Mary Janice Davidson.  I am also currently digging "Carlos Riviera" in the Vampire Huntress series.  Currently in book three of the Vampire Huntress series.  I'm sure I will find others as I am getting caught up on my paranormal reading.

I recommend the Blood Hunters series by Jennifer St. Giles.  Excellent!  First book was of Jared and Erin's story.  Second one is Aragon and Annette.  Really a great twist on this series! There's more to  come (yep already traded, so get them on your wishlists!)

Ilona Andews.  I love love love love her.  She's got a book out now called magic bites.  The sequesl magic burns will be out next year.  Read and you too will love her too.
