* adds even more books to my unrealistically long tbr *

[@MissTori2208]

When you were talking about the Green creek series I somehow missed you say that it was Queer and got REAL confused about an own voices werewolf novel

[@sarahm1894]

OMG!!!! I am so glad to find your channel. I have not heard anyone recommend any of these books you just mentioned and I finished almost all the books in these series!!!! I love them!!!

[@belzorahollow3888]

I’m a fan of both Buffy and Hush Hush. The fact that your first rec was exactly what I was looking for was serendipitous, thank you so much 😂

[@hinnaparmar]

The only paranormal series I have read is the black dagger brotherhood. I have only read the first two books but they are amazing! I always wanted to read more paranormal romance so these recommendations are great!

[@JudithSanchez-ht6jn]

Hinna Parmar i recommend Amanda Ashley that is my favorite and her vamps are tormented souls not those one blood thirsty who enjoy in the hunting. These are those who take what they need without killing their pray. Besides are a bunch of romantics who needs to find the proper 👩 who shows them their human side. Give her an opportunity that you will like it.

[@takini4918]

Why just two books in BDB series! The third book in that series is almost everyone's favorite! I actually just finished reading the 3rd book GOD! I'm obsessed with this series.

[@britnihill9457]

Yesss for the romance Recommendations videos! You’re about to have closet Romance readers realizing it’s totally okay to be out with it💁🏽‍♀️ and I’m a total stan for it♥️

[@chandlerainsley]

YES smut is fire and the people need to KNOW

[@michele9502]

i am SO glad you mentioned the dark hunter series!! it is my favorite series (styxx is my favorite book of all time i've read it literally 15 times), and I never see it get talked about!! I've been reading the series since i was 11 years old (young I know) but it is so good!!! I've recommended it to so many of my friends and they all seem to enjoy it a lot!!!

[@sointroverted]

Acheron is my baby!!

[@Mecharnie_Dobbs]

Has anyone read both the Dark Hunter series and the Shadowhunter series by Cassandra Clare?

[@Daybelis1894]

@@Mecharnie_Dobbs yes and they are not similar at all thanks God! The Dark Hunters series is sooooo goood

[@chandaatkinson9334]

Love these recs! Paranormal romance was what first got me into romance, but I’ve been reading a lot of contemporary or historical romance the last year. I was actually just thinking yesterday about how I need to find a new paranormal romance series. I’ve read the black dagger brotherhood, but I think I’m going to get started on the Fever series next because I keep hearing about it and your video finally convinced me 😅

[@storqe]

First book reviewer, I've heard honestly curse in a review, and about my favorite genre, totally subscribed haha

[@HaileyAnnReads]

I literally JUST got Wolfsong in the mail earlier this week and I honestly didn't know much about it, and now I'm even more hype for it!!! And I had no idea BDB was your favorite series, that was one of the first *adult* paranormal series I read and to this day it is still fire. Definitely a solid choice as a number one.

[@aphroditereads]

percy jackson you say ?? IM LISTENING

[@alexoliver2826]

omg I AM SO GLAD U MENTIONED TJ KLUNE! tj wrote one of my favorite books of all time called How to Be a Normal Person. everybody needs to go read it now

[@inabookshell]

I LOVE paranormal romance books! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@garlandthompson5970]

Aw, man paranormal romance is my bread and butter! Thanks for the new recomendations! Ive been a die hard Kresley Cole fan, and I think you might like her IAD series, because it literally has everything from werewolves, vampires, demons, witches, and a whole crap load of other things, and I just think they are sooo fun! But I cant wait to check your your recs, Ive been dying for something new!

[@chandlerainsley]

i reaaaaally need to try kresley cole, i know she's one of the best. thanks for the rec :)

[@TheBookRefuge]

Hell Yes, Dark Hunters!!!! I remember starting that series when I was 15! I read Dark Lover and I was so hooked by Julian and Grace. Lols. They were like a drug. I read up until Archerons book and then I kind of fell off. They started to get a bit too intense for me. But I loved it. Great to hear you like them. Talon was also a favorite.

[@alilbitmads]

Excellent video Chan! Definitely looking into the NIght Pleasures series. Been wanting to get into Kenyon but I never knew where to start!

[@outlierbookreview8338]

I read the entire Dark Hunter series and loved it. I've been looking for a new series, I like your suggestions. Thanks!

[@Daybelis1894]

I’m so happy to see a booktuber talking about the Dark Hunters series!! Sherrilyn Kenyon is awesome and her other series are amazing too, but DH is my favorite, Styxx book and Zarek’s are so awesome! Thank you for your recs. I read BDB ,but i got kinda tired and i always felt kinda mad that Zsadist story was way too similar to Zarek’s. IDK

[@skullinda8346]

Lover Eternal is my favorite from the BDB series. Thanks for all the recs!

[@myvampireillusion]

I am so happy to see so many Kresley Cole Fans in the comment!!! I just want to show my love too. Also Gena Showalter is a really good author as well and has different paranormal series. I prefer the alien hunter series.

[@tarareads23]

I love the Charley Davidson Grim Reaper series by Darynda Jones. Book 1, First Grave on the Right and Jennifer Ashley's Shifters Unbound series. Bk 1, Pride Mates. Love both of these.

[@books-on-a-wire]

I need to return Black Dagger Brotherhood. My all-time favorite was Kim Harrison's Hollows series. More urban fantasy than romance but one that has stayed with me.

[@melinaesquivel8771]

I’ve read all your recommendations, thank you! You NEED to read Ilona Andrews. Start with Burn for Me in the Hidden Legacy Series. Seriously, you’re going to love it!

[@dowdyjessica]

The Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole is my favorite series of all time 😍

[@nedas6374]

YES! So good. I also recommend the **Hex Halls** series by Rachel Hawkins for a more "schooly" series. The characters are oof

[@jordsbooks3253]

GIIIIIIRL YOU KNOW THIS VIDEO WAS MADE FOR ME ❤️❤️❤️ I’m literally going to check out all of these and omfg Black Dagger is SOOOOO good like I support every couple (also zadist.... my boy)

[@jordsbooks3253]

Also my least favourite slang from this series was ‘shitkickers’ legit every time I saw that I was like.... why and why so often

[@chandlerainsley]

HAH surprisingly that's one of the slang terms that wasn't created for the series. and also surprisingly it's one of the words i loved the most hahaha

[@jordsbooks3253]

I’d literally never heard of it before reading the series so every time J R mentioned it I was so confused I was like does that mean pants??? Shoes???? Underwear????

[@readingchump2663]

ooHHhHhHhhMy goDDdDdDdd please make more recommendation videos!!! I love everything you talk about! ugh I stan

[@chandlerainsley]

[@invokesreverie]

I read the wolfsong because of you. And I absolutely loved it 😍

[@chandlerainsley]

i'm so glad!

[@sofiarey5990]

You show make another of this!! I love all your rec!! 😍😍

[@jordansullivan7632]

I haven't read a good paranormal romance in a while, thanks for the recommendations :)

[@cpolt1192]

Wow, haven't read any of these. You've surprised me! Hah, thanks for the recs!

[@sointroverted]

Thanks to you I have started Kresley Cole and I must say I am obsessed with this series, every time I think I find a favorite character, I read a new story and my mind changes. Also has no one read LORA LEIGHS " BREED" series? that's another good one.

[@stevie__reads]

I love paranormal romance😍 idk if you’ve read them before but I love all them smutty times in the Night Huntress series

[@chandlerainsley]

adding to my list, thank you!

[@imanahmed5877]

Sis you need to give my tbr a break lol. Every time i watch your videos my tbr doubles in sizes.

[@Ananenina]

I've read ALL of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and BDL and I can say that it's my favorite series of all time as well. All the characters have a special place in my heart, they are like one humongous complex family. J.R.Ward always finds amazing ways to set up a new beautiful romance story. The Fever series is also so good. I also stopped at book 5. I still son't know if I should continue or not after like 4 years since I read those books but it's because I want more of Jericho and Mac. The Guild Hunter series is rivaling the BDB. I'm on book 5 and I can say it's almost as good. I encourage you to keep reading those.

[@chandlerainsley]

ahh thank you for this comment, i definitely am gonna have to check out book 2 on hoopla this month

[@momoscorner2324]

I feel like the Kenyon series has to be more than 19 books, dark hunters, dream hunters, shifters and the spin off series all ties together i count it as one series 🤣🤣

[@tiffany2718]

I was so happy when you mentioned The Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I was like you can’t have this list and not have it on there. Have you tried reading anything of Catherine Feehan? I love her different series from the wild one to the dark series!

[@crystalsutton4834]

For PNR I absolutely love SL Jennings...the Seven starting with Born Sinner and The Dark Light series are both phenomenal. Maybe a little darker than some of the suggestions on here.

[@cityofstarlight3398]

YES, ANGEL'S BLOOD!!!!

[@brennaclark9385]

I realized two things while watching this video. 1. I am obviously a dæmon and I’m not sure how I made it past my 27th birthday what a miracle 2. I WILL be picking up the Fever series, and thank you for your service my Queen of Smut.

[@vanessatorre3200]

i just started with the black dagger brotherhood in the last year am on book 7 i believe and its freaking great. Haven't heard the others, only the last few year have i really got into heavy romance books , mainly Cherise sinclair which not supernatural even thou you would like the males are psychic lol , j r ward, bella forrest, laurann dohner, dannika dark, maddy barone are paranormal barone is simple fun reading the others are more deep stories, definitely gonna check your recommendations :) and thanks for the video. :) :)

[@raineweatherman1171]

Once burned is a really good vampire book. Which has some really good scenes if you know what I mean. Almost has a really good different twist to it in some ways. Is it perfect but is it fun heck yeah!

[@zoe4892]

Just a recommendation for paranormal romances but Quinn loftus writes some good book series. Although the elfin series has a bit of a perfect character case in the second book it works out

[@sarahsbookshelves6054]

WOLFSONG omg i forgot about that series

[@AmyElizabethReads]

I'm gonna have to try Dark Lover. I'm always looking for good smut. If you haven't already, you should try The Red by Tiffany Reisz.

[@tarabite8469]

I just read Dark Lover.. it was really good. I immediately went and bought the next four

[@chandlerainsley]

i haven't read that one but i have read her original sinners series :) some of my fav erotica!

[@BasilGab]

Tiffany Reisz is my favorite author of all time. Omg

[@toiletteregina]

when i hear “paranormal romance’” my top of mind series is that one about... some book blogger and aliens...? Obsidian??? i’ve never read it but it sounds like one of those trashy guilty pleasures lol

[@chandlerainsley]

HAH yeah JLA writes some good trash but i think it's mostly YA which is why i haven't read much of it. and INDULGE IN TRASHY PLEASURES! makes life more fun

[@annalenastache7598]

That one was so bad... I hated it. And that was when I still liked Twilight I think. Would not recommend😂

[@dejasaur]

So many romance readers love The Black Dagger brotherhood. I love paranormal books but I haven’t read one in forever! I need to pick up Dark Fever

[@chandlerainsley]

dark fever is so much FUN

[@LectoraEstherica]

OMG, your favs are MY favs too!! Conection here, yeees. I really liked the Archangel books, not so much when the main couple are the protagonists, i dont know, those books are more boring. If you like werewolves I recommend you the Lupi saga by Eileen Wilks. There are mates, packs, madness, little demons, gnomos... It is SO good, and very underrated! :( So, very nice video! E.

[@arciafalcon]

YES! BDB!!! I cannot agree more!!!!

[@mariac.4462]

YES! I love BDB! You don't know how long I've waited for Lover At Last. Seriously, I love my Qhuay to death.❤❤❤

[@crizelcuajotor837]

I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood series

[@carrier4327]

I need to know what lip she’s wearing. Always so pretty in her videos!

[@toshay.6455]

Have you read the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands? It is 1 of my by far favorite paranormal romance series. They take a whole spin on vampires, they are sexy and absolutely laugh out loud hilarious. The 1st book is pretty cheesy since it was her 1st but they each get better as they go on. There are 29 books currently in the series, the 30th comes out in September. Each book also follow a different character. I HIGHLY recommend them if you havent read them. And if you do I would love if you would do a video about your thoughts, lol no one talks about then but they should.

[@literatureads1439]

Omg Sherrilyn Kenyon 😍😍 I adore her books and the fever series 👀JARICHO BARONS IS MY BAE! You should read Dating the Undead it’s so fun 💜💜

[@chandlerainsley]

ooo i'll add to list

[@meganfosmore330]

Laurell K Hamilton! Merry Gentry series!

[@suzanneestep2464]

Highly, highly recommend you read Elizabeth Hunter’s Elemental Mysteries series. It is about vampires and has several character off shoot books and series.

[@bookwormdreams5182]

You are giving me some Anne Hathaway vibes. Paranormal romances are my comfort read. Whenever I'm in a reading slump I always pick up a paranormal romance. It just gets me reading. They are easy to read and there are soooo many of them. If you haven't I would recommend First Grave on the Left by Darynda Jones and anything by Ilona Andrews.

[@chandlerainsley]

i tried to nevada baylor/mad rogan one by ilona and didn't love it but i'll definitely add the other to my tbr thank you!

[@bookwormdreams5182]

[@slreads7179]

[@ravenluvs2read]

I highly recommend both Deadly Beauties Series and Deadly Beauties Live On Series by C.M. Owens

[@laura22m.24]

Love your videos and personality. Have you tried the Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neil, Cassandra Palmer series by Karen Chance and Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews? (don't know if you'll like them though). Happy Holidays :)

[@Mary-fy8qi]

Red Winter is a fantastic Japanese Paranormal Fantasy Romance YA

[@nicholethereadingmomma9050]

Dark hunter is my absolute favorite series even though now there is like 30 books/ stories Sherrilyn Kenyon's spinoffs from dark hunter series are superb to she has a ya series spinoff from their world called the chronicles of nick

[@Rkhfb]

You should read DEAD BEAUTIFUL. It's truly amazing

[@chandellebody6278]

I'm curious that you mentioned Nalini's Archangel series, but not her Psy-Changling series, when it sounds right up your alley. Both start off as pretty smutty, basic romances, but the world building is incredible and both series have evolved into must-reads for me. Have you read any of the Mercy Thompson/Alpha and Omega books? They're among my favorites as well, though, not as based on romance. The Others and the Soulwood novels are among my favorite paranormal series as well.

[@prettyamitha1]

I love the Mercy Thompson series, the Honey Badger Chronicles is SO FUCKING FUNNY you will die but also super steamy, the Georgina Kinkaid series is really good, I love the Jennifer Estes novels but they aren’t everyone’s favorite, the Bargainer series by Laura T., I’m sure you’ve read the Folk of the Air series, Nighthuntress series, Kate Daniels series is a LOVE for me, and Chicagoland Vampires is also a fave of mine

[@mstinasugar]

Fever series & BDB 😍😍😍

[@thebookishsoaper1471]

BDB is my favorite series as well. You haven’t mentioned Lara Adrian Midnight Breed or Teresa Gabelman Protector series. Those 2 series are so good!

[@chandlerainsley]

oo i haven't heard of those! definitely need to check em out

[@Nicole-wd8fp]

One of the best paranormal romance I've read is the Velvet Trilogy by Temple West. the first book (Velvet) and the second book (Cashmere) are out and the third book is coming out this year. Velvet is amazing. "Equal parts steamy and funny, with a few genuinely creepy moments, this paranormal romance has everything -- compelling characters, plenty of witty banter, and a romance that just might be to die for. After losing both her parents before age 17, aspiring designer Caitlin Holte feels like her whole world has been turned upside down, and that was before she accidentally attracted the attention of a demon. Then, she learns that her hot, bad-boy neighbor, Adrian -- who might have just saved her life -- is actually a half-demon vampire. Suddenly, Caitlin is stuck with a vampire bodyguard who feels that the best way to protect her is to become her pretend boyfriend. Trouble is, Caitlin is starting to fall in love for real, while Adrian can never love a human. Caitlin trusts Adrian to keep her safe from his demon father, but will he be able to protect her heart? " from Goodreads Please try out Velvet and I hope you love it as much as I do. :)

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Dark hunters sounds fun !

[@BookishBabbles]

Lol I read darkfever but never finished the first book!!!!!

[@BasilGab]

I'd recommend the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole or the Demonica series by Larissa Ione. Both are great.

[@amaragrey9795]

Gabrielle Sierra IAD is best paranormal series of all time but the wait for each book is the worst

[@nedas6374]

Oh ya Kresley Cole is amazing. If y'all want a more YA series, there's Kresley's *Arcana Chronicles* series which is SO GOOD and interesting

[@rubypowell3959]

Have you read the sookie stackhouse series?

[@nadinep.4929]

You should read Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series. She writes paranormal romance about vampires. She has 16 novels in the main series, 7 novella in the series, and so far has three novels in a spinoff series called Hunter Legacy. She is still writing these books. Both the newest Midnight Breed book and the newest Hunter Legacybook were both written earlier this year.

Have you read any Bec McMaster? I just read a few of her steampunk romances and YES

I have had soooo much trouble reading in the past few years but the one book that I’ve always been able to read more than once was A Pirates Kiss on Wattpad it’s got all sorts of romance and fairies and mermaids and just all around just one of those books for me. I wish there was another book like it I could find :(
