Question: Anyone know any good supernatural books to read!?
I have nearly finished the series i am reading, but i don't know what to read over summer!. I like anything supernatural like vampires, werewolves, witches etc!. Any ideas!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Try the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series by L!. Hamilton!. Only the first 6 books are really good!. also Charlaine Harris has 2 good supernatural series--Sookie Stackhouse, Southern Vampire (main character a psychic who gets involved with vampires) and her Harper Connely books-Grave Sight and Grave Surprise!. The last I suggested is the most "realistic"--both the other series include vampires and shape shifters but Harper is just a regular girl with a weird talent!.

Here's a review of Grave Surprise:

After Harper Connelly was struck by lightning as a teenager, she developed an unusual ability--she is able to locate bodies and see how the victims died, although she cannot identify the murderers!. Harper and her stepbrother, Tolliver Lang, are at Bingham College doing a demonstration for a class, identifying bodies and causes of death in an old graveyard, when Harper finds the body of Tabitha Morgenstern, a kidnapped young girl she had failed to locate months ago!. To clear their names--the police consider Harper and Tolliver suspects in the crime--they set out to find the real killer!. Harper and Tolliver are likable, well-developed characters whose unhappy past binds them together as they care for one another and work together!. Harper craves normalcy as she wonders whether her talent is a gift or a curse!. The supernatural elements are integrated believably into the plot in this engrossing mystery, the second in a series!.
