Series.

Books in series are kind of hard to read. Well not hard as in they require a high IQ just hard because they always leave things ending on a cliffhanger and then you have sit and wait for more things to happen. I am very impatient so I dont like to wait... but the good thing about series is that they generally have a lot more detail and can have more in depth stories (emphasis on generally) Among the huge list of books I need to read and with in that list a separate list of series, I think I am going to have to add these two:

Savage Membrane: A Cal McDonald Myster by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith

Synopsis
Cal McDonald has a special talent for spotting and seeking out the strange beings walk among us. They live as postal workers and taxi drivers, lurking in the sewers and roaming the streets ever awake and always on the hunt. Cal has made a career helping and hunting the dark creatures. Among the docile ghouls of the city he is a friend. But to most, those who prey on innocent human lives, Cal is a sworn enemy. Now Cal finds himself in the middle of the strangest adventure of his life. People are dropping dead all over Washington DC and the cause is a mystery. The bodies are unmarked, yet their brains are simply gone. Cal will have to use all of his resources and dig deep into his past to unravel the truth, which is more terrible and absurd than he could have ever expected.


Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead
(she also wrote the Vampire Academy novels- my friend Liz highly recommended both)

Synopsis
Being a succubus sounds pretty glamorous. Shape-shifting, killer wardrobe, what's not to like? But Georgina Kincaid's life is far from exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies, and she can't have a decent date without sucking away part of the guy's life, which means her crush on sexy writer Seth Mortensen is going nowhere fast. But all of that pales in significance when an unknown entity "helpfully" begins killing her immortal adversaries. For once, all her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help, because there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny...
