Let's see. I recently read Blood Bound, the next book after Moon Called. It kept the story arc moving, so I'll be looking forward to the next one.
Then there was Rising Moon by Lori Handeland. Not much shifting there, but some.
And the Over the Moon anthology featured shifter stories by Angela Knight and MaryJanice Davidson.
Of those 4 stories, 3 also had vampires!
The last shape shifter book I read was a re-read from a few years ago: "Lair of the Lion" by Christine Feehan.
Currently I've got my teeth sunk into "Go Fetch" by Shelly Laurenston.
And then there was the one page story written my daughter, "Wolf Girl." A girl in a red cape drops her bread on the way to the post office to mail the bread to grandma. She steps in a wolf paw print and changes into a wolf to find the bread. Ah, to be 8 again :)
I think Lauren Dane's Reluctant was the last one I read - I love her wolves, so yummy!
Sela—I've got to pick up Blood Bound. I keep thinking about Mercy, Adam and Sam. Vampires, I'm not nearly so fond of, but there are important exceptions.
Margo—lol on the eight-year-old's story! You know, I don't think I've read Feehan. As for Go Fetch!, I will have to pick it up at some point, because I loved Pack Challenge, which, oops I forgot to put on my list.
Ember—I agree. I need to pick up more of Lauren Dane's books.
I haven't read any of these. I can't handle really intense books (or movies) because I get really scared and my imagination kind of goes out of control. :)
Thanks so much for trying your luck at my 13 this week. Stop by any time!
Hmm, I haven't read any of these, but they sound interesting! I haven't read any shapeshifter stories in a while.
Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog!
Tempt Not the Cat by J.C. Wilder.
2 words: Yum, and YUM! :D
I think my last shifter read was Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest.
Great recommendations. I do enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyon's books. The Dark Hunter series definitely involves some hot shape-shifters.
Aww, thanks! I'm in some fabulous company on that list.
I just finished Moon Called and Blood Bound - fabulous! I'm in the middle of Kissing Sin, the follow up to Full Moon Rising by Keri Arthur - excellent stuff.
Oh and Eileen Wilks is one of my favorite paranormal authors and her Tempting Danger, Mortal Danger and Blood Lines are marvelously inventive and sexy.
I haven't really had much time to read any paranormals. I'm in the middle of writing on the fourth one of my Moon Series. Sweet Moon Dreams, the first book, just released Tuesday from Samhain.
Now if I can just finish the last book and get a contract for it...
mercy's maid—there are some lighter fare when it comes to paranormals. Like Sela Carson's Not Quite Dead.
Thanks for dropping by, Thomma Lyn.
I haven't actually tried JC Wilder or Kenyon's shifters, though I've certainly heard of them!
You're welcome, Lauren. I loved Rule and Lily, but I've tried twice to get into the sequel Mortal Danger and couldn't :\ I don't know if I want to try again or just attempt the third book.
Congratulations on your new release, Rose Marie!
My last three shifter books were.
Angela Knight's Master of Swords.
Lori Handeland's Crescent Moon
Laurell K Hamilton's Danse Macabre
All have shifters in them, but all of them deal with them in a different way. Knight's are magical (and hawt) Handeland's are kept in the background so you don't know who is shifting or if they even exist as that's the mystery. Hamilton's are natural or well, supernatural ones. She does describe the shift very well. Dang, I've read more shifters than I thought. I guess that's why I like to write them, huh? LOL.
Oh, my hubby adores Briggs and MJD so much that he's taken them from me. I no longer get to read them first. *sniffles*
Great TT! You can get hooked up with everything you need to know about TT here: http://thursdaythirteen.com/.
Thanks, twisted cinderalla. I'll use that information for next time.
I'm not really into shape shifting, but I liked "Moon Wolf" (a short story) by Nora Roberts.
Great TT list!
Keep Writing!
