| Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1) by Maggie Stiefvater: Grace and Sam share a kinship so close they could be lovers or siblings. But they also share a problem. When the temperature slips towards freezing, Sam reverts to his wolf identity and must retreat into the woods to protect his pack. He worries that eventually his human side will fade away and he will be left howling alone at the lonely moon. A stirring supernatural teen romance. Mycket välkänd varulvs-ungdomsserie som har varit mycket populär. Ska nog beställa denna på Svenska som rec-ex tror jag ^^ (heter då Frost) . |

| Moon Called (Mercy Thompson #1) by Patricia Briggs: Werewolves can be dangerous if you get in their way, but they'll leave you alone if you are careful. They are very good at hiding their natures from the human population, but I'm not human. I know them when I meet them, and they know me, too. Mercy Thompson's sexy next-door neighbor is a werewolf. She's tinkering with a VW bus at her mechanic shop that happens to belong to a vampire. But then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself ... and her connection to the world of things that go bump in the night is about to get her into a whole lot of trouble. Urbanfantasy som jag sett dyka upp i många varulvssammanhang. Linda från swedish zombie läste den nyligen och jag måste säga att jag är lite nyfiken. Tycker även att framsidan är riktigt snygg på ett sånt där urban-fantasy sätt. Men äger redan Cry wolf av samma författare så kommer vänta med denna tills efter jag läst den jag redan har för att se om jag gillar hennes författarstil först. |

| Howling at the Moon (Tales of an Urban Werewolf #1) by Karen MacInerney: Romance is about to get a little hairy. Sophie Garou seems to have it all: a great job at a prestigious accounting firm, a closet that rivals a Nordstrom showroom, and a terrific boyfriend who isn’t afraid to use the “M” word. There’s just one little itty-bitty problem: Sophie is a werewolf–and her time of month has a whole new meaning. Needless to say, life among yummy flesh-and-blood humans is no piece of steak . . . er, cake!, but regular doses of wolfsbane tea and a mother who runs a magic shop have helped Sophie keep her paranormal pedigree under wraps. Still, when a sexy, golden-eyed werewolf prowls into town, Sophie finds herself struggling to keep her animal impulses in check–not to mention trying to keep things on track with her super hot (and super human) lawyer boyfriend. What’s more, someone is threatening to expose Sophie for what she really is. And when her mother is accused of selling a poison-laced potion, Sophie must sniff out a culprit before the fur hits the fan. Här har vi också en urban fantasy. Vet inget om denna sen tidigare, fick den (och tvåan, trean i serien) av ett bokbyte =). Verkar rätt skoj! |

| Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega #1) by Patricia Briggs: Anna never knew werewolves existed, until the night she survived a violent attack... and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she'd learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. Then Charles Cornick, the enforcer- and son- of the leader of the North American werewolves, came into her life. Charles insists that not only is Anna his mate, but she is also a rare and valued Omega wolf. And it is Anna's inner strength and calming presence that will prove invaluable as she and Charles go on the hunt in search of a rogue werewolf- a creature bound in magic so dark that it could threaten all of the pack. Ännu en urban fantasy. Som jag så snällt fick av Calliope under hennes bokbortskänkardag. Gillar framsidan! |

| Sisters Red (Fairytale Retellings #1) by Jackson Pearce: Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris--the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead. Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend--but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for? En bok om rödluvan fast med en twist ;). Har varit riktigt sugen på att läsa denna, dock gav Boktycke den inte ett jättehögt betyg men åh framsidan är så snygg att jag bara måste testa ändå.. Ja vet, jag är hopplös :P Skrev även om boken här när jag skrev om fairytale retellings =). |

| Nightshade (Nightshade #1) by Andrea Cremer : Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she’ll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters’ laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything - including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice? Även denna är en väldigt välkänd varulvs-ungdomsbokserie. Många av er verkar tycka mycket om dem så jag är grymt sugen på att läsa denna med! =) |

| Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause: Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf? Också en relativt välkänd varulvsbok, verkar okey men är inte super sugen på att läsa denna. |

| Vargsläkte av Caroline L Jensen: Det nergångna hotellet vid stranden ruvar på sina hemligheter. Någonting bor i väggarna. Något gammalt. Vem, eller vad, är egentligen husets ägarinna, Ylva Duse? I blodet finns det fruktansvärda svaret. I blodet finns också en gemenskap som Vera har sökt efter hela sitt liv. Ansiktet grånade. Töjdes. Verkade falla samman inifrån och sedan (knäpp, knäpp, knäpp, lät det) förlängdes kindbenen. Ylvas öppna mun blev till en sårig köttmassa när långa tänder trängde fram. Blev till käftar istället för en mun. Käftar som blottade våta, långa och skarpa rovdjurständer. I dubbla rader. Blod droppade från dem och landade framför Vera. Det långa, grå håret tjocknade och smälte ihop med huvudet. Blev till kort och stubbig päls. Svarta tussar stod ut från axlarna, växte i en sträng nerför mormoderns rygg, och där hennes rynkiga gamla rumpa hade varit vajade nu en lång och yvig svans. Svensk varulvsbok, riktigt nyfiken. Gissar att den inte kommer läsas i sommar men läser den gärna om den kommer ut som pocket någon gång sen =). (hoppas då på ett annan omslag dock.. gillar INTE detta >.< Har någon hört nått om det?) |

| The Dark Divine (The Dark Divine #1) by Bree Despain: Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared—the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in blood—but she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night held. The memories her family has tried to bury resurface when Daniel returns, three years later, and enrolls in Grace and Jude's high school. Despite promising Jude she'll stay away, Grace cannot deny her attraction to Daniel's shocking artistic abilities, his way of getting her to look at the world from new angles, and the strange, hungry, glint in his eyes. The closer Grace gets to Daniel, the more she jeopardizes her life, as her actions stir resentment in Jude and drive him to embrace the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind the boys' dark secret...and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it—her soul. Jäkligt trött på paranormal romance.. så skippar nog att läsa denna om inte ni verkligen kan övertala mig varför jag ska läsa den :P. |

Terrifying memories of the attack on her mom and dad come flooding back. Bryn needs answers, and she needs Chase to get them. Suddenly, all allegiances to the pack no longer matter.

| Bitten (Women of the Otherworld #1) by Kelley Armstrong: Elena Michaels didn't know that her lover Clay was a werewolf until he bit her, changing her life for ever. Betrayed and furious, she cannot accept her transformation, and wants nothing to do with her Pack - a charismatic group of fellow werewolves who say they want to help. When a series of brutal murders threatens the Pack, Elena is forced to make an impossible choice. Abandon the only people who truly understand her new nature, or help them to save the lover who ruined her life, and who still wants her back at any cost. Den här serien har jag blivit tipsad om av en läsare och måste säga att de verkar väldigt intressanta. Är även väldigt nyfiken på författaren (speciellt hennes Darkest powers- serie). Någon mer som läst? Finns många varianter av omslagen men har hittills inte hittat någon helt klockren men tycker denna <--- var ganska stilren iallafall =). |

| Dog world by Jason McKinney: It is the summer of 2005, near Tikrit, Iraq. Captain Paul Demarti is the executive officer of communications when a report is received from a patrol that is incredible, at best, or ridiculous, at least. The patrol begins to report hostile contact with giant canine-like creatures when the communication is suddenly cut off. Little does Demarti know that these transmissions will change the course of his life and commence events that will threaten humanity’s existence... Har redan denna hemma som e-bok. Så den ska väl försökas läsas lite under sommaren, men är fortfarande en stark hatare av elektroniska böcker så vi får se. Är även inte alls min typ av bok eller tema, krig är inte min grej alls så tror väl inte så starkt att det kommer bli av nej. Måste även klaga lite på framsida... BLÄ så gräsligt ful :P haha Så läs Swedish Zombies recension istället ifall ni är nyfikna på den! |

You cannot afford to not read this book. Your very life depends on it Riktigt cool framsida, vill ha! ^^ Skulle jag hitta den billigt skulle jag inte banga på den! |

| Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville #1) by Carrie Vaughn: Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station - and she also happens to be a werewolf. One night, sick of the usual lame song requests, she accidentally starts 'The Midnight Hour', a late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged. Almost immediately she's deluged by calls from desperate vampires, werewolves and witches from all across the country, wanting to share their woes and ask her advice.Kitty's new show is a raging success, but it's Kitty herself who could use some help, not least because her monthly change is a deep and dark secret to all but a very special few.And when she finds one very sexy werewolf-hunter on her tail, not to mention a few homicidal undead, she realises she may just may have bitten off more than she can chew... Ännu en urban fantasy. Har inte hört något om dessa, men verkar finnas en helt del böcker ute i serien så den måste ju vara ganska populär. Någon som vet om de är bra? |

| A Werewolf in Manhattan (Wild About You #1) by Vicki Lewis Thompson: A Fantasy Come to Life -- Literally. — Emma Gavin writes bestselling novels about werewolves, but that doesn't mean she believes in them -- and she certainly doesn't think she'll meet one. But that's exactly what happens when her books catch the attention of a rich and powerful pack of Manhattan Weres, who have kept their existence hidden for centuries. Alarmed by the accuracy of her novels, they're determined to find out if a renegade is acting as her informant. Aidan Wallace, the pack leader's son and heir, knows he's the wolf for the job, but when he gets close to Emma, they are both surprised by an attraction too strong to deny. To surrender to it, Aidan will have to risk everything -- including the security of the pack he's sworn to protect. Typ chick-lit varulvsbok. Låter ganska fånig, men det kan ju vara trevligt ibland. Är dock inte alls sugen på det just nu. |

| The Accidental Werewolf (Accidentals #1) by Dakota Cassidy : When Marty Andrews gets bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle, her blond hair darkens, the hair on her legs starts growing at an alarming rate, and her mood swings put her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics in serious jeopardy. Then a drool-worthy man shows up at her door claiming that he accidentally bit Marty. And since he's a werewolf, she is now, too. Thinking Keegan Flaherty is clearly insane, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there's more at stake than just her highlights. And she must put her out-of-control life in the hands of the man who makes her blood run wild in more ways than one... Som boken ovan, chick-lit med en varulvstwist. Låter till och med fånigare än den förra. Så nej tack, tyvärr inget för mig! |
Sedan är det dags för något av de roligaste med nytt tema, OMRÖSTNING!
Men inte helt bestämt om jag ska läsa Frost och hoppas ju på att läsa fyra böcker i detta tema så självklart blir det omröstning!
Denna gången kan ni rösta på flera böcker =) Så rösta på!
Jag misstänker att du skulle avsky Dog World. Det är krig, soldater och militära termer från början till slut.
SvaraRaderaMen den här kanske:
SvaraRaderahttp://www.adlibris.com/se/product.aspx?isbn=9100120626
Jag tyckte att den var lite bra.
hahah tänkte precis tipsa om den!!
RaderaJag tror att du kommer att gilla den, den är inte alls som vanlig paranormal romance (jag gillar de flesta) men den är väldigt bra, det var något med den som fick mig att älska den av en konstig anledning.
Bitten av kelley armstrong har några sexscener i den, inget överdrivet men ändå så att du vet om den. Den gillade också fast jag har aldrig läst tvåan av en konstig anledning... måste läsa snart
Ska hålla utkik efter den då =)
RaderaNattvakt av Kit Whitfield skulle ju jag också tipsa om! :-) Nu måste du nästan.
RaderaJa nu måste jag verkligen det, får långa på bibblan tror jag ^^
RaderaJag läste Shiver för två år sedan och gillade den mycket då. Däremot handlar den nog snarare om vargar än varulvar... beroende på hur man definierar varulvar i och för sig.
SvaraRaderaJo det är väl sant, men den får räknas ändå ;)
