I love The Millennium series by Stieg Larsson and Mary Monroe's God series.

Currently im looking for some new book series. Any suggestions?

the tamara hayle mysteries by valerie wilson wesley. try this op. it's a black but non hood book about a single mom who works as a P.I.

start with the book..when death comes stealing

she doesn't have the books labeled on numbered as to which of her novels are in the series. so after you read that one, you will know which one is second in the series

Not sure if this counts, but the Alex Cross series that James Patterson writes about, too.

Harry Potter! Lol.

But, OP, if you are looking for a suggestion, I'd like to put the Fever series out there. Author is Karen Marie Moning and there are 5 books in it. I read them all in a week (and this is while working a more than full time job). It's a paranormal/urban fantasy series (and urban fantasy =/= hood books). Great stuff.

I just got done reading The Girl That Played with Fire and bought the last one. I'm going to take my tie reading it unlike the first two.

The Hunger Games series is good. I just finished the first book a week ago and saw the movie. For a teen fiction it was much better than I expected.

Sookie Stackhouse novels (True Blood books).

I am loving Lutishia Lovely's The Hallelujah Love series. So far I am on the third book.

I love the Patternist Novels by Octavia Butler (Wild Seed, Clay's Ark, Patternmaster, Mind of My Mind, and Survivor, which was loosely related and hard to find). She's my favorite author, though. Her Xenogenesis series is excellent, also, but it's short--it's only a trilogy. I also like her Parable series. She intended for it to be a trilogy but passed before she could complete the final novel.

I second Valerie Wilson Wesley's books. I have all of her mysteries, and I have to re-read them every couple of years because she puts out new material very slowly.

The late L.A. Banks had some awesome series, as well. Check out her Vampire Huntress series, as well as other series penned by her. She only passed last summer, but she was very talented.

(As you can tell I read mostly speculative fiction when I read it.)
