I agree with your statements about Cry Wolf. I thoroughly enjoyed that book and hope it’s the first in a long series. Also on my “best of” fantasy book list are:

–Staked by J.F. Lewis
–Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs
–Storm Born by Richelle Read

As you can see, I primarily read urban fantasy.

Cry Wolf will be on my best of list too. I think. I don’t rate my books any more, but it sure did make it easier to pick the best.

I love that you have so many different genres listed. Everyone ought to be able to find something to please them here!

Interesting, you seem to be backing up some people’s recs for me (Vampire Knight and The Host). My best friend has been hounding me to read Vampire Knight especially. Of the two here I’ve read I agree with you on Kin and Cry Wolf. Good list.

Glad to see the Chelsea Cain novels up there. I have them both, but haven’t given them a read yet.

I have started on the Mistress of the Art of Death and it’s shaping up to be a really good book. I’m anxious to see how it ends and what the followup has in store.

By the way, I’ve given you an award.

@Tee: I’ll have to track down Andrea Kane’s stuff. I’ve never read her. A friend of mine actually read and reviewed SCREAM FOR ME for my blog but I plan to tackle it next year. I think most of my reading will continue to be mystery or romantic suspense unless a really good romance comes out by Laura Kinsale or Judith Ivory.

@Kailana — you do have a year end list, starting with those three! *g*

Thanks for sharing your favorites!

I don’t think I am going to be able to do a year end post this year because I did a really bad job keeping crack of what I read! I did read Cry Wolf, The Host, and The Graveyard Book off of your list and enjoyed those three! I also read The Hobb’s Bargain by Patricia Briggs. That was good. And then way back in like February there was Iron Kissed, the third Mercedes Thompson book. Oh, and I read the Serpent’s Tale too. That was a good book! I might be able to do a sort of list, I guess.…

Totally agree with you on your first three picks in the Mystery department–Fractured, Sweetheart and Angel’s Tip. I’ve not read the other two you mentioned. I would like to add some favorites of mine in this genre for 2008. They are:

Twisted — Andrea Kane
Guilty — Karen Robards
Scream for Me — Karen Rose
Say Goodbye — Lisa Gardner

I don’t read the other genres you listed, although I do read different genres besides mystery. I discovered, then began, reading your website, Keishon, about the middle of this year for the first time and have continued catching it on a regular basis. I look forward to seeing it again in the coming year.
