Suggestions please?

I've just sent an SOS to The Biochemist and I'll share it here, too.

I'm in need of a really good book to read. The nonfiction selections I'm working on are fine, but there has been a serious slump on the fiction front. Heroines I want to bitch-slap. Heroes who suffer from rectal-cranial inversion. Pr0nish, pointless sex and unbelievable avowals of adoration. Sleuths who can’t find their way out of a paper bag. Too many vampires, werewolves, and Others.

Need a book recommendation for vacation, please.


And a follow up note: C appreciated all of the paranormal/urban fantasy recommendations I gave using your suggestions. She's devoured Carrie Vaughn's series and started on Lilith Saintcrow's.

It's sad, but I can't think of a romance novel that has truly wowed me in recent weeks.

I really liked Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora, if you're looking at fantasy. I kind of think it's worth working through the first two novels in Jennifer Fallon's Demon Child trilogy just for the final book too.

Thanks for the recs, I'll add them to my library list!
