Can anyone suggest some books?

Question

I'm going for a really long trip with my family and I can read without getting sick. I like Stephanie Meyer, Janet Evanovich, Diana Gabledon & Anne Stuart. I like action or stories set in the 1700's. I don't mind if there Romance books as long as someone is trying to kill the Protagonist or there's lots of suspense. I don't mind long books but if its by someone I haven't read yet then I like to keep them at a medium length. They can't be new cause I need to be able to get them at the library. Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm not sure you would find them in a library or not.  The first one was released in 2007.  I would recommend Colleen Gleason's series The Gardella Vampire Chronicles.  I'm not usually one for historical books, but these are some of the best vampire/romance books I've ever read.  (And I've probably read over 200).  They take place in 19th Century London and there is a fair amount of action.  No need to worry about some scary things going after the heroine, either.  I hope you'll give them a shot.  Colleen Gleason has a web site that I believe has some excerpts.  That might help you make a decision.  Have a fun trip!

Answer 2

The House on the Borderland , The Ghost Pirates or The Night Land written by William Hope Hodgson .

Iris Johansen is fantastic. She does mainly suspense and murder mysteries and there is always a little romance thrown in. The first book of hers that I read and loved was called "The ugly duckling" and I have been collecting her books ever since. If you do start to read her, make sure you check if it is a recurring character because otherwise you may get confused in a few of them.
