Caity 3,946 Posted October 20, 2012 I just finished 50 shades of gray trilogy a little over a month ago.... It was good... okay... the style of writing could have been vastly improved. She thought that was kinky I will show her kinky Books I recommend: Night Angel Trilogy Forbidden Game Trilogy Mediator series (aimed at a younger/teen audience, small novels rather like 500 page books, its about a girl who sees ghosts) Manga: I'm using the free Mango app on my phone to download and read manga for free Vampire Knight, Host Club, Midnight Secretary (contains sexual images). There was one that was dark anime advertised at the start of Host Club DVD I bought, I'll watch the trailers on it at some point and check if it had a manga it was based off.

FallnFeather 30 Posted October 20, 2012 Uhm.. I was going to say a Song of Fire and Ice, but Game of Thrones covers that. So..... Black Dagger Brotherhood novels Defense Devil (Manga) Are you Alice? (Manga) Angel Sanctuary (Manga) That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallnFeather 30 Posted October 20, 2012 Oh, another one, The Vampire Hunter D novels are pretty good. Easy reads, but they contain some pretty good gems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloakedSchemerX 1,011 Posted October 20, 2012 My best recommendation has already been said, but either way, I suggest the Game of Thrones series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amon 4,279 Posted October 21, 2012 If you want something dark and/or science fiction try any of the Warhammer 40,000 books. You'll find dark stories about religious zealots, super soldiers, demons, thousands of ordinary people being sent to their deaths, grotesque lifeforms consuming everything and more. But among all of this chaos, war, and devastation there are a handful truly amazing heroes. Some of the people you could read about will truly inspire you. If you or anyone reading are interested shoot me a message and I will tell you where to start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirux 1,224 Posted October 21, 2012 The Fault In Our Stars by John Green John green is my favourite contemporary author, and everything by him is amazing. My favourite is actually Will Greyson, will greyson, the collab he did with that other author. Paper Towns is pretty superb, too. DFTBA I would suggest The Count of Monte Cristo if your looking for a dark drama. It's my favourite book of all time, and it's a rather thick book too. Such wonderful story telling.

The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted October 22, 2012 Well, I like to read, but what I mostly read are Game Informer magazines, lol. But I have read novels from time to time. I highly recommend that you read The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it is one heck of a saga, and they even made movie adaptions of those novels a few years ago. But if you've already seen the movies, read the books anyways, because you'll have a blast reading them. I also recommend The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks, it's a romantic story. It's the first book of his that I've read, and now I know why he's such a renowned author. And last but not least, I recommend you read Legends of Shannara, the Measure of the Magic, I'm currently reading it, and I'm so hooked on it! It's got all sorts of awesome fantasy elements, and one hell of a villain. So yeah, those are my recommendations. ^^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Namine` 28 Posted October 30, 2012 Divergent (haven't finished it, but it's pretty good) Tiger's Curse (bit more on the love triangle side, very good though) And despite the horrible portrayal from the movie, Twlight was one of the best books I've ever read Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted October 30, 2012 It depends... What are some of your favorite books? That way I'll have a better idea of what you like, and perhaps some things that I think are similar to it. One dark fantasy series I really enjoyed is the Wicked Lovely series. Another series I loved was The Healing Wars. The latter isn't as dark as the former, but it has an interesting twist on the evils of healing that I enjoyed.
