Top Ten Tuesday - Authors

I bring you my first Top Ten Tuesday blog post!

My Top 10 Authors

1. Jeaniene Frost – Night Huntress is my favorite adult series. I could read it over and over yet never get tired of it. This was the first adult series that I read and no matter how many more I read, this remains my number one. I’m currently reading Night Huntress World and I’m enjoying it. I can’t wait for Night Prince to come out. Vlad is amazing. He’s no Bones but he comes very close.
2. Richelle Mead – Vampire Academy is my favorite Young Adult series. I’ve only read the series once but the more YA series I read, VA remains my number one. In addition to this series, Georgina Kincaid was great for an adult series. I liked the beginning of Dark Swan but not so much the end. Then there’s Bloodlines. The first book was good and I can’t wait to see what happens in Golden Lily. So this is about 12+ books that I love by Richelle Mead. She’s created amazing worlds of Vampires, Succubi, and Faeries.
3. J.R. Ward – Black Dagger Brotherhood is the longest series by an author that I’ve read. When I started the series it was good but as I continued it just got better and better. The more I learned about all the brothers, the more I loved them. The plot took a downward turn after book eight. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with Blay and Qhinn. I absolutely love them. I want the brothers to start training again and expanding their forces.
4. Cassandra Clare – Mortal Instruments incorporates all the paranormals that I love. Shadow hunters, Warlocks, Vampires, and faeries. It’s a crazy series full of adventure. I didn’t enjoy the fourth book as much but I look forward to book 5. Infernal Devices is also good. I could barely remember what happened in the first book but as I read the second book it all came back to me. I absolutely loved book 2.
5. Holly Black – Modern Faerie Tales was the darkest faerie series that I’ve read. It was amazing and exciting all the time. The writing and situations were so real. I felt it like it more closely related to youth today. It touches subjects that other YA series don’t touch.
6. Lara Adrian – Midnight Breed reminded me of Black Dagger Brotherhood before I read it. Now after reading three books, I see how different it is. I’m loving learning about the breed warriors and the breed mates. They all have issues that they’re dealing with yet somehow they come together and save one another. Even within each book I get to know everyone more and more instead of just the two individuals that the book focuses on.
7. Kelley Armstrong – I’ve loved Darkest Powers. The plot always kept me into the story the whole time and overshadowed romance aspect. I was hoping for more but with everything always going on, it was close to impossible to really establish relationships. That usually bothers me but with this series it didn’t. The characters were all great but the many betrayals were crazy. So many ups and downs in the series. Loved it.
8. Julie Kagawa – The Iron Fey series is an awesome faerie series with action and adventure all the time. I loved the writing and this is one of my all time favorite faerie series.
9. Lorelei James – Rough Riders is an awesome erotic series. It can be a lot to handle. I didn’t even think that I could. The more I read it, the more I love learning about all the women and the McKays in the series.
10. Veronica Roth – Even though there’s only currently one released book for Divergent, this is the only Dystopian book that I really enjoyed. Most people’s favorite is Hunger Games yet as a book I don’t care for it much. I loved Tris’ strength and Four makes her even stronger. They’re great together.
