Seasonal Recommendations!

Also, in case I didn't mention it before- everyone go and watch Lost Girl!  It's a Canadian TV show that's like a mashup of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Changeling and Vampire: the Masquerade- or, as I like to think of it, what you should watch if you were intrigued by Laurel K Hamilton's stated premises but appalled when attempting to read them.  It's fantastic.

Sexy, funny, ass-kicking, dramatic without being overwrought.  Our heroine Bo is a fae being, a succubus- on the run for most of her adult life, until she runs face-first into the actual underworld she should have been brought up in.  Pushed to pick a side between Light and Dark Fae, she refuses- upsetting the game and carving an interesting little niche for herself.

"[...]what you should watch if you were intrigued by Laurel K Hamilton's stated premises but appalled when attempting to read them."

Are we talking Anita Blake premises or Merry Gentry premise?

Both, actually. Bo is essentially in a place to be a between-worlds PI, kicks ass and defends humanity from the depredations of both sides while wearing leather- fairly standard Urban Fantasy Heroine stuff. And she's a succubus who heals via feeding, and now that she's found people whom she won't end up killing by kissing, she's having the time of her life without shame or regrets (except for actual relationship regrets).
