I really enjoy Patricia Briggs' Mercedes Thompson series, which has shapeshifters, vampires and fey in it but still comes off very urban.Berkeley Hapahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824181275307305091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-62834192869659198362015-01-26T17:06:05.225-08:002015-01-26T17:06:05.225-08:00haven't read many dragon books; fun creatureshaven't read many dragon books; fun creaturesbn100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820247772985819255.post-51357472361267068332015-01-26T14:01:25.570-08:002015-01-26T14:01:25.570-08:00The Beautiful and the Cursed is on my TBR list! ...The Beautiful and the Cursed is on my TBR list!

Gargoyle are definitely some of my favorites, and I hope they become more and more prevalent in YA. The Beautiful and the Cursed is a great series if you are interested in checking out a gargoyle story. I love fantastical creatures, and when an author can come up with a new one, or a different take on an old one, and make a unique and fascinating story, I am all in! Mermaids are the one type that I just have not enjoyed. I have tried multiple times, different authors and stories, but I have yet to find one that I actually enjoy.

And I have read quite a few books with vampires, shapeshifters, ghosts (a really good ghost book I read was Grunge Gods and Graveyards), zombies, etc. OH, and angels! I love the Penryn & the End of Days series! That would be my favorite series with fantasy creatures, though I don't know that angels are my favorite. Probably not.

I think I have read about most of the creatures you mentioned here at least once. <br /><br />For gargoyels you might want to check out Jennifer Armentrout her Dark Elements series, I haven't read it myself yet, but I know it's about gargoyels. I know I have read a book with gargoyels, but I can't remember the title at the moment.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.com
