{Bloggers Recommend} A Book Series That Will Have You Hooked From the Beginning
From Natalie @ Coffee and a Book Chick
A Song of Fire and Ice Series by George RR Martin {review}. For lack of a better way to phrase it, I just couldn't put down the first book, Game of Thrones. I read 600 plus pages in literally a few days, and this is coming from someone who is no expert in fantasy or world-building.
From Melanie @ Reclusive Bibliophile
Delirium by Lauren Oliver {review}. I can't speak for the rest of the series yet, but Delirium sucked me in, stole my breath away, and left me anxious for more. Early buzz for Pandemonium (book 2) promises more of the same, but even better.

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. He's my hero. I love him. I wish he was real, to be honest. This is a series I grew up with, and I stood in many a midnight line for the book releases ... in full character dress. I'm still re-reading the series, and I can't wait to share it with my children. :)
From Chrissie @ Once Upon a Series
Demons of Infernum by Rosalie Lario {reviews}. This an amazing Paranormal Romance series that has it all - action, mystery, romance and characters that you can't help but love. Ms. Lario has created a world that I would love to live in and characters that I would love to get to know in real life (especially Taeg from Mark of the Sylph *swoon*). This is definitely my favorite paranormal romance series that I have come across since I started reading this genre and I highly recommend them to anybody who loves a sexy alpha male and a strong and independent heroine.
From Dani @ Pen to Paper
Sookie Stackhouse (or True Blood) series by Charlaine Harris. I've not rated a single one of the books in this series less than 5 stars, which is an achievement, seeing as I've read all the books in the series so far (11)! Dead Until Dark is the first in the Sookie Stackhouse series, and it is also the first of her novels that I ever read, back in early 2009 (and I'm proud to say, before the TV series hit our UK shores), and I've not looked back since. The series rekindled my love with Urban Fantasy novels, which I had, until that point, been avoiding a little. I was instantly hooked to the first book because I felt less like a story was being narrated to me, and more like I was being told the story by a close friend; a feeling I've not managed to find in any other books I've read.
Have you read any of these series? Do you have any recommendations that you would add to this list?
Oh my goodness, yes, yes and YES to Sookie Stackhouse! And if you love them, read Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost! Like Buffy, only if Spike and Angel were hotter than the fire of a thousand suns XD
