AH HOLD UP U ASKED FOR AUTHOR RECOMMENDATIONS!!!! Sorry if i spell anything wrong. So I have a recommendation.
Have you ever heard of Sherrylin Kenyon? Wow i probably spelled her first name wrong.
I know there was a issue between her and Cassandra Clare but she really is a good author.
Ive only read one of her series so far but thats because the other series is more of an adult series. The one ive read is a young adult series. Its called the Chronicles of Nick and has 7 books so far. I personally love it. There's sarcasm, romance, tragic back story, demons, gods, goddesses, so many things. The main character is Nicholas Ambrosius Aloysius Gautier. I know i spelled that wrong aaahhh. He's a 14 year old Cajun living in New Orleans in im guessing the 1990s. He's bullied, treated horribly by almost everyone, loves his mother unconditionally, and doesnt believe anything supernatural is real. Then everything changes when he meets Kyrian Hunter. Oooohhh I love this series. Sorry my little summary thing isnt good. Ive read these books sooooooo many times.
The other series i know of is the Dark Hunter series, which I believe is the sequel to this series. Anyway, now ill read your other stories. Bye :)
