A Discovery of Witches
Good read, I'm on the third (final) book and can't put it down. Not the best read ever, more like a "movie in your mind", but great vacation/plane read.
A Discovery of Witches was a really good book. Harkness is a history professor at USC and seems an unlikely author of a vamp & witches book, but imo she did a hell of a job with it. It could so easily have gone all wrong ala Twilight, but luckily it went another way. It is hard to pin down exactly why it was good, but there was a lot of wonderful in this book. From academia & alchemy, to genetics & lovely doses of history, Harkness created a world that you really wanted to stay in for a good long time. I love the UF genre, but often you have to wade through some really appalling authors to find ones worth reading. Harkness is one of the authors you can respect and still be entertained by.
Edit- Wow the sequel is out, I was thinking it would not be released til the 15th, I know what I'll be reading next!! !

A Discovery of Witches was a really good book and it's part of a trilogy.
Try A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. It has vampires, witches, demons, etc. I really enjoyed it, and the sequel is solid too. The third one just came out, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
A Discovery of Witches is the first in the All Souls trilogy, which is written by a historian named Deborah Harkness. She integrates a lot of history and alchemy into it, which is cool. I don't think it's anywhere near as well-written as Lord of the Rings, but it is interesting. However, it is a love story, so if you're not into romance, then steer clear.
I liked The Magicians a lot better; the series is kind of like Harry Potter but more serious and literary. It's not that fantastical, and kind of plays off Harry Potter/fantasy stereotypes, but it's a cool series nonetheless.
Weird! Shows up for me on Amazon in paperback. https://www.amazon.com/Discovery-Witches-All-Souls-Trilogy/dp/0143119680
