Storm Born (Dark Swan, #1)
Richelle Mead
Just typical. No love life to speak of for months, then all at once, every horny creature in the Otherworld wants to get in your pants...
Eugenie Markham is a powerful shaman who does a brisk trade banishing spirits and fey who cross into the mortal world. Mercenary, yes, but a girl's got to eat. Her most recent case, however, is enough to ruin her appetite. Hired to find a teenager who has been taken to the Otherworld, Eugenie comes face to face with a startling prophecy—one that uncovers dark secrets about her past and claims that Eugenie's first-born will threaten the future of the world as she knows it.
Now Eugenie is a hot target for every ambitious demon and Otherworldy ne'er-do-well, and the ones who don't want to knock her up want her dead. Eugenie handles a Glock as smoothly as she wields a wand, but she needs some formidable allies for a job like this. She finds them in Dorian, a seductive fairy king with a taste for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous shape-shifter who redefines animal attraction. But with enemies growing bolder and time running out, Eugenie realizes that the greatest danger is yet to come, and it lies in the dark powers that are stirring to life within her...
Succubus Heat (Georgina Kincaid, #4)
Richelle Mead
Georgina Kincaid has been a bad, bad succubus. . .
. . .which should be a good thing. But lately, thanks to her foul mood over breaking up with bestselling writer Seth Mortensen, she's been so wicked that Seattle's über-demon Jerome, decides to "outsource " Georgina to a rival—and have her spy for him in the process.
Being exiled to the frozen north—okay, Vancouver—and leaving Seth in the cozy clutches of his new girlfriend is unpleasant enough. Then Jerome is kidnapped, and all immortals under his control mysteriously lose their powers. One bright spot: with her life-sucking ability gone, there's nothing to keep Georgina from getting down and dirty with Seth—nothing apart from his girlfriend that is. Now, as the supernatural population starts turning on itself, a newly mortal Georgina must rescue her boss and figure out who's been playing them—or all hell will break loose. . .
Succubus on Top (Georgina Kincaid, #2)
Richelle Mead
Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses Seth Mortensen, the shy, sexy writer she's been dating, she'll drain his life force. Admittedly, the shapeshifting and immortality perks of a succubus are terrific, but it's completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can't get down with the one mortal who accepts her for who she is. . .It's not just her personal life that's in chaos. Doug, Georgina's co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, and Georgina suspects something far more demonic than double espressos. She could use an assist from Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, but he's giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is going to have to work solo on this one-and fast, because soon, Doug's life won't be the only one on the line. . .

Succubus Dreams (Georgina Kincaid, #3)
Richelle Mead
Some days, a girl just can't catch a break...especially when the girl in question is Georgina Kincaid, a shape-shifting succubus who gets her energy from seducing men.
First there's her relationship with gorgeous best-selling writer Seth Mortensen, which is unsatisfying on a number of levels. It's not just that they can't have sex, in case Georgina inadvertently kills him (generally a turn-off for most guys). Lately, even spending time together is a challenge. Seth's obsessed with finishing his latest novel, and Georgina's under demonic orders to mentor the new (and surprisingly inept) succubus on the block.
*9 hours 53 minutes
Then there are the dreams. Someone, or something, is preying on Georgina at night, draining her energy and supplying eerie visions of her future. Georgina seeks answers from Dante, a dream interpreter with ties to the underworld, but his flirtatious charm only leaves her more confused - especially as the situation with Seth reaches a crisis point.
Now Georgina faces a double challenge: rein in her out-of-control love life, and go toe-to-toe with an enemy capable of wreaking serious havoc among mankind. Otherwise, Georgina, and the entire mortal world, may never sleep easy again.
Spend some more time with succubus Georgina Kincaid...if you dare.

Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend's wedding is a different story. Georgina isn't sure which is worse -- that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina's roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there's Simone, the new succubus in town, who's intent on corrupting Seth.
But the real danger lies in the mysterious force that's visiting her thoughts, trying to draw her into a dark, otherworldly realm. Sooner or later, Georgina knows she'll be too weak to resist. And when that happens, she'll discover who she can trust, who she can't -- and that Hell is far from the worst place to spend eternity...

Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's – inside the Academy’s iron gates, their world is even more fraught with danger. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities.

The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy's not taking any risks. This year, St. Vladmir's holiday ski trip is mandatory.
But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only provide the illusion of safety.

Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life's vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved?Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir's and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love?Readers who fell in love with Rose, Lissa, and Dimitri won't want to miss Blood Promise, the much-anticipated, epic fourth novel in Richelle Mead's enthralling Vampire Academy series.

It’s winter break at St. Vladimir’s, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy’s crawling with Guardians—including Rose’s hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if hand-to-hand combat with her mom wasn’t bad enough, Rose’s tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason’s got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa’s head while she’s making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy’s not taking any risks.... This year, St. Vlad’s annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.
But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price…

L'accademia dei vampiri (L'Accademia dei Vampiri, #1)
Richelle Mead
Fuggire dall’Accademia dei Vampiri per rifugiarsi fra gli umani sembrava l’unica strada per una vita “normale”. Ma a due anni dalla fuga, Lissa, principessa erede di una delle più nobili casate di vampiri Moroi, e Rose, sua migliore amica e guardiana, vengono ritrovate e riportate fra le mura del college. Dietro l’apparente ritorno alla normalità si nasconde una lotta senza regole né morale per il controllo di un potere di cui Lissa è l’ignara custode. I pettegolezzi, gli sguardi curiosi, le malignità mascherate da amicizia sono i nemici più facili da sconfiggere. Il pericolo reale si mostra solo quando decide di colpire. Lissa pagherà con la vita, se Rose non sarà capace di proteggerla.

Rose heeft altijd geleefd volgens haar eigen regels.

Nu heeft de arm der wet haar ingehaald en zit ze in de gevangenis voor een misdaad die ze niet eens heeft gepleegd. De tijd dringt en Rose verkeert in levensgevaar.

Lei spera di essere assegnata alla custodia della sua migliore amica Lissa, ma non sembrano esserci molte possibilità. Rose ha commesso tanti errori, è fuggita due volte dalla scuola. Non dà l’idea di essere la persona giusta cui affidare l’ultima discendente di una nobile famiglia Moroi. E adesso sta per lanciarsi nell’ennesimo e più grave azzardo: ha scoperto che c’è un modo per far tornare umano il suo grande amore Dimitri, diventato un sanguinario Strigoi. Per riuscirci dovrebbe mettere in pericolo la vita di Lissa. Davvero potrebbe sacrificare la sua migliore amica per amore?

Dark Swan, Vols. 1-3 (Storm Born/Thorn Queen/Iron Crowned)
Richelle Mead
Richelle Mead Dark Swan Bundle: Iron Crowned, Storm Born, & Thorn QueenIron Crowned
"New York Times" bestselling author Richelle Mead takes readers back to the Otherworld, an embattled realm mystically entwined with our world--and ruled by one woman's dangerous choice...
Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham is the best at banishing entities trespassing in the mortal realm. But as the Thorn Land's queen, she's fast running out of ways to end the brutal war devastating her kingdom. Her only hope: the Iron Crown, a legendary object even the most powerful gentry fear...
Who Eugenie can trust is the hardest part. Fairy king Dorian has his own agenda for aiding her search. And Kiyo, her shape-shifter ex-boyfriend, has every reason to betray her along the way. To control the Crown's ever-consuming powers, Eugenie will have to confront an unimaginable temptation--one that will put her soul and the fate of two worlds in mortal peril...
Storm Born
Just typical. No love life to speak of for months, then all at once, every horny creature in the Otherworld wants to get in your pants...
Eugenie Markham is a powerful shaman who does a brisk trade banishing spirits and fey who cross into the mortal world. Mercenary, yes, but a girl's got to eat. Her most recent case, however, is enough to ruin her appetite. Hired to find a teenager who has been taken to the Otherworld, Eugenie comes face to face with a startling prophecy--one that uncovers dark secrets about her past and claims that Eugenie's first-born will threaten the future of the world as she knows it.
Now Eugenie is a hot target for every ambitious demon and Otherworldy ne'er-do-well, and the ones who don't want to knock her up want her dead. Eugenie handles a Glock as smoothly as she wields a wand, but she needs some formidable allies for a job like this. She finds them in Dorian, a seductive fairy king with a taste for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous shape-shifter who redefines animal attraction. But with enemies growing bolder and time running out, Eugenie realizes that the greatest danger is yet to come, and it lies in the dark powers that are stirring to life within her...
Praise for Richelle Mead and Succubus Blues...
"This is one of those series I'm going to keep following." --Jim Butcher, "New York Times " bestselling author
"The mix of supernatural mystery, romance, and reluctant succubus is great fun." --"Locus"
"Exciting, witty, sexy, intriguing and had me captivated from the first page." --Cheyenne McCray
""Storm Born" is my kind of book -- great characters, dark worlds, and just the right touch of humor. A great read." --Patricia Briggs
Thorn Queen
Eugenie Markham is a shaman for hire, paid to bind and banish creatures from the Otherworld. But after her last battle, she's also become queen of the Thorn Land. It's hardly an envious life, not with her kingdom in tatters, her love life in chaos, and Eugenie eager to avoid the prophecy about her firstborn destroying mankind. And now young girls are disappearing from the Otherworld, and no one--except Eugenie--seems willing to find out why.
Eugenie has spilled plenty of fey blood in her time, but this enemy is shrewd, subtle, and nursing a very personal grudge. And the men in her life aren't making things any easier. Her boyfriend Kiyo is preoccupied with his pregnant ex, and sexy fey king Dorian always poses a dangerous distraction. With or without their help, Eugenie must venture deep into the Otherworld and trust in an unpredictable power she can barely control. Reluctant queen or not, Eugenie has sworn to do her duty--even if it means facing the darkest--and deadliest--side of her nature...
Sangre azul (Vampire Academy, #2)
Richelle Mead
Rose Hathaway tiene un serio problema. Su guapísimo tutor Dimitri se está fijando en otra, su amigo Mason está colado por ella y el vínculo telepático que tiene con su mejor amiga… la vuelve loca cuando ésta se enrolla con su novio.
Entonces un gran ataque strigoi pone a la Academia en alerta y deciden poner a salvo a los alumnos en la elegante estación de Idaho. Pero la impresión de seguridad es falsa. Esta vez, Rose - y su corazón - correrá un peligro mayor de lo que imaginaba.
The Eye of Andromeda (Age of X, #3)
Richelle Mead
The publishers dropped the Age of X series before the release of book 3 due to low sales. However, despite the low sales Mead commented, "For those still upset with its status, here's the thing. In two years, The Immortal Crown has sold as many copies as The Glittering Court has in one month. You don't even want to know how it compares to VA's sales. I still love Age of X, but publishers don't. So it currently has no one to publish it. Which isn't the end of the world. I have enough "street cred" to self-pub it, but contracted books have to come first. I've signed a legal agreement with publishers, and I have to deliver their books by the arranged deadlines. Which is okay. Because I love those books too. But it all requires a lot of patience to get everything out at the appropriate time!"
Succubus Nights (Georgina Kincaid, #2)
Richelle Mead
Georgina Kincaid's job sucks. Literally.
Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses her new boyfriend, she'll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus-a demon who draws her power from other men's pleasure. Admittedly, the shapeshifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can't get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she is.
It's not just her personal life that's in chaos. Doug, Georgina's co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, and Georgina suspects that something far more demonic than double espressos is at work. She could use help finding out, but Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, is preoccupied in the suburbs with corrupting an ultra-conservative talk radio star-and giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is going to have to work solo on this one-and fast because soon, Doug's life won't be the only one on the line...
A Corte de Luz (The Glittering Court, #1)
Richelle Mead
Nova trilogia da autora que conquistou o mundo com Academia de Vampiros e Bloodlines Elizabeth, condessa de Rothford, foi condenada a um casamento arranjado com um rico – e entediante – comerciante de cevada. Pra fugir desse destino, a garota assume a identidade de uma de suas criadas e foge em uma carruagem em direção à floresta de Adoria. Lá, Elizabeth, que agora atende por Adelaide, é acolhida na Corte de Luz, uma espécie de internato que capacita jovens de baixa renda e as transforma em verdadeiras damas da sociedade. A condessa disfarçada de serviçal sai-se muito bem nas atividades da escola e, em pouco tempo, chama a atenção de Cedric, o filho do dono do lugar. Uma poderosa atração nasce entre Cedric e a misteriosa Adelaide, colocando não só o disfarce da garota em risco, mas também um grande segredo que o rapaz procura esconder a todo custo.
The Immortal Crown (Age of X, #2)
Richelle Mead
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodline series returns with the second installment in her acclaimed Age of X series.
Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin’s old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA’s dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin’s concubine—has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter’s connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.

Lissa Dragomir, prinses van de Moroi, is een sterfelijke vampier die onlosmakelijk verbonden is met de magie van de aarde. Ze moet te allen tijde beschermd worden tegen de Strigoi: de onsterfelijke vampiers die ongelooflijk wreed en gevaarlijk zijn.
Rose, de beste vriendin van Lissa, is een dhampier. Zij leidt een gevaarlijk leven dat in dienst staat van het beschermen van Lissa tegen de Strigoi. Die zijn namelijk vastbesloten om haar een van hen te maken.
Twee jaar nadat ze uit angst zijn weggelopen van de diep in de wouden verscholen Academie van St. Vladimir worden Rose en Lissa opgepakt en daarnaartoe teruggebracht.
Zowel binnen als buiten de ijzeren hekken van de academie blijven Rose en Lissa in de greep van de angst. Ze dienen de verleidingen van verboden liefdes het hoofd te bieden en altijd op hun hoede te zijn, want anders maken de Strigoi Lissa voor altijd een van hen...
IJskoud (Academicus Vampyrus, #2)
Richelle Mead
Rose worstelt met serieuze problemen op het gebied van relaties. Haar aantrekkelijke mentor heeft een oogje op iemand anders, haar vriend Mason lijkt meer voor haar te voelen dan zij voor hem en Rose vindt het op zijn zachtst gezegd nogal vervelens dat Lissa meer tijd aan haar vriend Christian besteedt dan aan haar. Nadat Strigoi in de buurt een bloederige aanval hennen gepleegd, staat de academie van Sint-Vladimir op scherp. De hele school wordt in de kerstvakantie op een verplichte skitrip gestuurd. Maar het schitterende winterlandschap en het chique resort leveren slecht de illusie van veiligheid.

Cantos de Súcubo (Georgina Kincaid, #1)
Richelle Mead
Súcubo (n.):Demonio seductor, capaz de cambiar de forma, que tienta y proporciona placeres a los mortales del sexo masculino.
Patético (adj.): Súcubo con unos zapatos estupendos y ninguna vida social.
Cuando se trata de trabajos infernales, ser un súcubo parece de lo más glamoroso. Una chica súcubo puede ser todo lo que se le antoje, su armario daría envidia a cualquiera y los hombres mortales harían lo que fuese por un simple roce suyo, aunque el precio a pagar... a menudo sea su alma.
Pero la vida de Georgina Kincaid, residente en Seattle, dista de ser tan exótica. Su jefe es un demonio de nivel de mando intermedio enganchado a las películas de John Cusack. Sus mejores amigos inmortales no dejan de tomarle el pelo a propósito de aquella vez que asumió la forma de la Diosa de los Demonios, látigo y alas incluidas. Y lo peor: no puede tener una cita decente sin que el chico sufra graves consecuencias...
Al menos cuenta con su trabajo diario en una librería de la localidad: libros gratis, todo el café con chocolate blanco que quiera y fácil acceso al atractivo autor de best-sellers Seth Mortensen, alias Aquel Que Daría Cualquier Cosa por Tocar pero No Puede.
Pero soñar con Seth deberá esperar. Algo turbio se trama en la escena demoníaca underground de Seattle. Y para variar, ni sus encantos ni sus frases lapidarias servirán de nada, pues Georgina está a punto de descubrir que hay algunas criaturas ahí fuera que no encajan ni en el cielo ni en el infierno...

The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court, #1)
Richelle Mead
Big and sweeping, spanning from the refined palaces of Osfrid to the gold dust and untamed forests of Adoria, The Glittering Court tells the story of Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who poses as her servant to escape an arranged marriage and start a new life in Adoria, the New World. But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court.
Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training, and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court.
When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide’s deception. Complications soon arise—first as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and then when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor.
But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands…

But something happened after her last battle. She became queen of the Thorn Land. With her kingdom in tatters, her love life in chaos, and eager to avoid the prophecy about her firstborn destroying mankind, the job's really not all it's cracked up to be.
Now young girls are disappearing from the Otherworld, and no one seems willing to find out why. Or to put an end to it. Not that Eugenie's fazed by spilling fey blood, but this enemy is shrewd, subtle, and dangerous -- and nursing a very personal grudge.
Eugenie must venture deep into the Otherworld and trust in a power she can barely control. She may be a reluctant queen, but she's vowed to do her duty, even if it means facing the darkest and deadliest side of her nature.
Midnight Jewel (The Glittering Court, #2)
Richelle Mead
In MIDNIGHT JEWEL, Richelle Mead goes beyond the glitz and glamour of the Glittering Court, delving into the dark, political underbelly of Cape Triumph through the eyes of one girl who dares to fight for her freedom.
A refugee of war, Mira was cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where the conditions were inhospitable at best. In a life-altering twist of fate, she is given the chance to escape once more, and she takes it, joining the Glittering Court.
Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. There, Mira finds herself subjected to persecution, not only from her fellow Glittering Court jewels, but from her suitors, as well—men she would potentially be expected to give her life to.
By day, she goes through the motions, learning the etiquette and customs that will help to earn her anonymity, even making a couple true friends in the process, the forthright ladies’ maid Adelaide and the ambitious laundress Tamsin. But by night, Mira hatches a different plan entirely—one that, if exposed, could get her hanged in the highest court of Adoria.
MIDNIGHT JEWEL is the extraordinary story of a girl with few options who courageously forges a new path, finding love, passion, lifelong friendships, and maybe even a way to freedom.
