Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, Book 5) - Patricia Briggs

If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now. The Mercy Thompson series starts out slow in the first book or two, but it really gets engaging after that. The fourth and fifth book have especially kept my attention, and since I haven't reviewed all of the books, I don't want to give anything away in this one except to say that while Mercy has made her choice between Samuel and Adam, Brigg's still manages to keep things interesting and she is managing to get wittier with every book.

In this series is constant drama between the vampires, werewolves and fae, and Mercy somehow gets on everyone's bad side, which is unfortunate for her since she's a mainly harmless shifter (coyote).

Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side - Beth Fantaskey

This novel which I read awhile awhile ago still has me periodically searching the web for a follow up novel or other new books from Beth Fantaskey. This is one of my favorites, it is beautifully written and is a great escape from reality. Since I am a little rusty on the details I'll post Publishers Weekly summary instead of my own. This is a MUST READ!

From Publishers Weekly:
A romance involving a high school girl and a handsome vampire may sound a little too familiar, yet this first novel quickly bursts ahead of the pack of Twilight-wannabes. Down-to-earth mathlete Jessica Packwood is completely horrified when, a few months shy of her 18th birthday, a Romanian named Lucius Vladescu shows up on her doorstep, claiming that he and she are vampire royalty betrothed to each other since infancy—what's worse, her adoptive parents verify the betrothal story and explain that her birth parents identified themselves as vampires, too. Fantaskey makes this premise work by playing up its absurdities without laughing at them, endowing Jessica with a coolly ironic sensibility and Lucius with old-world snobberies that Jessica's girlfriends find irresistible. Jessica's laidback parents serve as foils for imperious Lucius (Can I ever again be happy in our soaring Gothic castle after walking the halls of Woodrow Wilson High School, a literal ode to linoleum? he asks sarcastically); a scene at a steakhouse where the vegan Packwoods meet the carnivorous Vladescus is first-rate comedy. The romance sizzles, the plot develops ingeniously and suspensefully, and the satire sings.

Ironside: A Modern Faery's Tale

In Ironside, the third 'Modern Faery Tale', Holly Black resumed her story of Roiben and Kaye, the fairy king and his unlikely girlfriend; a mere green pixie.

Silarial, Roiben's former lover and queen and now his enemy tries to make him choose between fighting to the death for control of his court or joining her again and handing it over.

Meanwhile Kaye tells her mother the truth about being switched at birth and being a pixie and now must deal with her mothers coming to terms with losing her real daughter, and the anger that who she thought was her daughter is nothing more than a pixie, all the while trying to find and get back the 'real' Kaye from the fae.
