Vote for December's adult title and start a new series!

We're doing something a little different for the adult title for December here at Blog with Bite- instead of focusing on books that were just released or the latest installment in a series, we're going to kick back and give folks a chance to start a new series! To that end, we have SEVEN (yes, SEVEN) choices for this month's adult title, and it will be a short voting period so cast your votes early!  We'll being going back in time to where seven very different series began (we're talking full length novels here, not anthologies or novellas, just to be clear.)  Why not vote for the one you've been meaning to read and haven't gotten to yet? Or, if you'd like, vote for the one that you love love love and take the chance to spread your love of that series to other people! Everybody wins!

As always, pictures link to Amazon for easy purchasing and the descriptions are from Goodreads.  Happy holidays everyone!

Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changelings, Book 1)Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh- Nalini Singh dives into a world torn apart by a powerful race with phenomenal powers of the mind-and none of the heart.

Born a Psy, Sascha Duncan must hide the emotions which mark her as flawed. But a passionate Changeling will tempt her to reveal everything-and risk her very soul. 





A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, Book 1) A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole- A mythic warrior who'll stop at nothing to possess her . . .

After enduring years of torture from the vampire horde, Lachlain MacRieve, leader of the Lykae Clan, is enraged to find the predestined mate he's waited millennia for is a vampire. Or partly one. This Emmaline is a small, ethereal half Valkyrie/half vampire, who somehow begins to soothe the fury burning within him.

A vampire captured by her wildest fantasy . . .

Sheltered Emmaline Troy finally sets out to uncover the truth about her deceased parents -- until a powerful Lykae claims her as his mate and forces her back to his ancestral Scottish castle. There, her fear of the Lykae -- and their notorious dark desires -- ebbs as he begins a slow, wicked seduction to sate her own dark cravings.

An all-consuming desire . . .

Yet when an ancient evil from her past resurfaces, will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a proud warrior to his knees and turn a gentle beauty into the fighter she was born to be? 


Dead Until Dark Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris- Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much. Not because she's not pretty. She is. It's just that, well, Sookie has this sort of "disability." She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill. He's tall, dark, handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the kind of guy she's been waiting for all her life.

But Bill has a disability of his own: He's a vampire. Worse than that, hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind.

And when one of Sookie's colleagues is killed, she begins to fear she'll be next.


Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter)Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton- Introducing Anita Blake, vampire hunter extraordinaire. Most people don't even bat an eye at vampires since they've been given equal rights by the Supreme Court. But Anita knows better--she's seen their victims. . . . A serial killer is murdering vampires, however, and now the most powerful vampire in town wants Anita to find the killer. 




Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, Book 1)Moon Called 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.


Dead Witch Walking (Rachel Morgan, Book 1)Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison- The underground population of witches, vampires, werewolves—creatures of dreams and nightmares—has lived beside humans for centuries, hiding their powers. But after a genetically engineered virus wipes out a large part of humanity, many of the "Inderlanders" reveal themselves, changing everything.

Rachel Morgan, witch and bounty hunter with the Inderland Runner Services, is one of the best at apprehending supernatural lawbreakers throughout Cincinnati, but when it comes to following the rules, she falls desperately short. Determined to buck the system, she quits and takes off on the run with an I.S. contract on her head and is reluctantly forced to team up with Ivy, Inderland's best runner . . . and a living vampire. But this witch is way out of her league, and to clear her name, Rachel must evade shape-changing assassins, outwit a powerful businessman/crime lord, and survive a vicious underground fight-to-the-death . . . not to mention her own roommate.

Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 1) Dark Lover by J.R. Ward- The only purebred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed - orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead...

Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both....

I love the BDB boys, but I so want to go back and take a re-look at Guilty Pleasures for some reason. I'm having a sick call back or something, like when you go back to an ex - you know they are bad for you, but they can be so good sometimes!!! ;)
