I have changed this weeks up a bit to include paranormal creatures in general as I didn’t do the other topics this month. I have included witches, wizards, supernatural humans, demi-gods, and more!
1. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
First, I haven’t finished this book. I love it, but I am just not reading. It’s horrible! But, what I’ve read so far I love the characters in this book and all of their quirky characteristics. This is my first Leigh Bardugo book and I am so hapy I finally picked one up. I had to return this to the library, but once my reading mojo is back I think I will just pick this one up from the bookstore.
2. The Heir Chronicles by Cinda Williams Chima
I have ready book one, The Warrior Heir, so far and love the take on witches, wizards, and the like. The two different sides, Red Rose and White Rose, are so intriguing. I loved the magical tournament idea and look forward to reading the rest of this series.
3. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I don’t want to give much away, so I will stick with what is summarized on Goodreads. Reds are commoners living in a Silver world where they have god-like superpowers. A young red is thrown into the Silver Palace without knowing what’s going to become of her. I really enjoyed this series and recommend it to all those who want to read about a young heroin looking to fix the segregated world.
4. Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
What list of paranormal creatures would be complete without Percy Jackson and his world of creatures. I love all of Rick’s work and mythology in general. I love the fast paced story line and the young heroes and heroines in these books.
5. House of Night by P.C. Cast
Lastly, I had to include vampires. I think the House of Night is very under-hyped. I think more people would love this series if they were to pick it up. I read this a few years ago and haven’t kept up with the new releases, but in total there are 12 books in the series. This serious shows the challenges of young vampires living in a mixed world of human and vampire. The characters attend a vampire school and deal with their own world of problems.
Honorable mentions, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and Vampire Diaries. I figured that Harry Potter was a given and I shouldn’t use it. But I mean who doesn’t love all of the paranormal creatures, witches and wizards in Harry Potter? I didn’t include Vampire Diaries because I haven’t actually read the books, but I have watched the TV series and LOVE it.
What are some of your favorite books featuring paranormal creatures?
Oh gosh, this is my second time seeing Six of Crows in a post for this week's T5W. I really need to pick it up.
ReplyDeleteIf you liked the Vampire Diaries series, you should check out the spin-off, book series, Bloodlines. I've actually never read or watched the Vampire Diaries, but Bloodlines does great as a standalone!
Nice list :)
Thank you! I go in spurts with my type of book. Definitely a mood reader. I'll add Bloodlines to my list!
