Question:
I’ve had to stop reading 2 books today because I couldn’t stand the sex scenes or the vulgarity and it’s getting frustrating. One of them being Undead and Unwed. I’d like books similar to the Twilight series, Mercy Thompson Series, Woman of the Underworld Series etc Thanks
Thanks, will give those a try

the anne rice vampire series is a good one, it is very sensual and romantic without any sex scenes or vulgarity. it is one of my favorites and if you haven’t tried it I definitely recommend

You could try Night World series. They are basically 3 short stories per book, but there is zero sex and each of the stories is a mini-romance about vampires or werewolves or angels etc.

try Barbara Michaels books. she is a good writer on supernatural books with romance but not the trashy stuff. i think you would enjoy her books.

Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld
This is an extremely good book. It’s hard to explain but it’s about the future, after mankind basically destroyed the earth (global warming, destroying forests, polluting the ocean, etc) survivors made a new society where there’s no argueing, war, etc. Everyone is considered “ugly” until they turn 16 and have this sugery that makes them “pretty” and they move to this part of town where all they do is have fun and party all day and night. Tally, the main character cant wait to turn pretty. She meets Shay who’s a rebal and convinces Tally to leave the city for a night to see what’s out in the wilderness. Tally learns all kinds of things about being pretty and the truth is.. it’s not really pretty. EXTREMELY good, and the sequals (Pretties, Specials) are even better. It’s full of adventures, cool technologies, romance, etc. There’s also a fourth book from another perspective and it’s set in Japan called Extras, but it’s not as good as the others in my opinion.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
This book is also set in the future and is extremely intense like you’re actually in the book. It’s setting is in Panem, a city that’s now in what’s left of North America (which has become smaller after global warming and melting of the ice caps). Surrounding Panem are 12 districts where each year, one boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen to be in the Hunger Games where they are put into an arena and battle each other and try to survive until there’s only one left and is the winner. There’s also romance in it and gets kind of sad. I cried at one point. haha but it’s really good. Stephanie Meyers, author of Twilight, even recommended it.
Deadly Little Secrets by Laurie Stolarz
It’s the first of it’s series and is also really good. It’s about a girl named Camelia who lives a normal life – dating, has friends, decent grades. But, one day when she was picking an earing that she dropped crossing the street, a car was coming towards her and it wasn’t stopping. Suddenly, a hot guy shoves her out of the way, saving her life. He left without her saying thank you or asking what his name was. Three months later, she’s starting her junior year in high school and there’s this rumor about a new guy named Ben who supposedly killed his girlfriend. Camelia doesn’t believe in rumors and when she sees Ben, it’s the guy who saved her life. She tries to talk to him but he ignores her at first, but later Ben begins touching her weirdly but Camilia only gets more drawn to him. She later finds out he’s not ordinary. He can know the future or past of a person by touching a person and he senses that Camelia’s in great danger. Really intense but good with a twisted love triangle.
I’ve read twilight and loved it but i thought these books were almost as good or even better.
Other books I’ve heard were good and planning to read is Need by Carrie Jones, Evernight by Claudia Gray, Lament by Maggie Stiefvater, Beastley by Alex Flinn, Old Magic by Marianne Curley, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, the Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Stolarz, and Evermore by Alyson Noel (coming out in February)
I recommend Need by Carrie Jones if you really liked Twilight. I heard it was really similar but with werewolves instead of vampires and more. Some people told me they liked it better than Twilight too. So yeah.. you should check it out
