			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of the pioneers of supernatural romance.  I&#8217;ve loved her work right from the first book I read and she remains one of my absolute favourite authors.  Her characterisations and stories are amazing and I have no idea how she keeps the plotline running through 19+ books but she does and and the results are outstanding.</p>
<p>So what do you do when you have devoured everything she has written?  Here are some recommendations for other authors in the same genre or with a similar style who I also love, and hopefully you might too!</p>
<h3>J. R. Ward</h3>
<p>Another author with a long running series, who has an amazing ability to bring her characters to life and into your hearts.  Features vampires, hot men and sassy women, who could ask for more?</p>
<p><em>The following authors also write supernatural romance/urban fantasy but they are not quite as epic in scope as Sherrilyn Kenyon or J. R. Ward.</em></p>
<h3>Keri Arthur</h3>
<p>Keri Arthur&#8217;s &#8216;Riley Jensen&#8217; Series are a great addition to the genre, with a gutsy, sexy heroine who is half-werewolf, half-vampire.  The &#8216;Nikki and Michael&#8217; vampire series has action as well as romance and the &#8216;Damask Circle Trilogy&#8217; are definitely recommended reading too.</p>
<h3>Patricia Briggs</h3>
<p>For some werewolf love, Patricia Briggs brings the &#8216;Mercy Thompson&#8217; Series to life and  is an excellent, engaging, action packed read.  Recently she has started on the &#8216;Alpha and Omega&#8217; series from the same world, with two great characters who started out in a short story and are proving just as engaging.  Lighter on the romance side than Kenyon but the story makes up for it.</p>
<h3>Karen Chance</h3>
<p>The &#8216;Cassie Palmer&#8217; clairvoyant series has a bit of mystery going on, even with the numerous supernatural elements and makes for an exciting, sometimes heated mix. In addition to the main series, Karen Chance has recently begun a spin off series featuring the daughter of one of the main cast, which is shaping up to be a good read.</p>
<h3>Kelley Armstrong</h3>
<p>The &#8216;Otherworld&#8217; series is going from strength to strength and Kelley Armstrong has a great way of telling stories through different character&#8217;s viewpoints.  It starts with werewolves in Bitten and goes through several great characters who are witches, demons, sorcerors and necromancers.  I love how she crosses their paths with other characters and often sets up the scene for following books as minor plots in the current one.</p>
<h3>Rachel Caine</h3>
<p>Two excellent series so far &#8211; &#8216;The Weather Wardens&#8217; and their abilities to control the elements along with the enigmatic Djinn and her Young Adult series &#8216;The Morganville Vampires&#8217;.  Both are excellent reads and highly recommended.</p>
<h3>Kim Harrison</h3>
<p>Witches, vampires, pixies oh my!  The &#8216;Rachel Morgan&#8217; series is a  good solid read, inspired titles, humerous at times yet has its extremely poignant moments.  Fast paced, full of action and definitely one to read.</p>
<h3>Karen MacInerney</h3>
<p>&#8216;Tales of an Urban Werewolf&#8217; are an easy, interesting and fun series to read.  Doesn&#8217;t take itself too seriously but packs a punch when it needs to.</p>
<h3>Carrie Vaughn</h3>
<p>The brilliant &#8216;Kitty&#8217; series (a misnomer since it&#8217;s about werewolves) just keeps getting better and Carrie Vaughn brings kick ass Kitty to life with style and panache.</p>
