PLEASE NOTE: Comments and nominations for this poll are now closed. We will be putting up the new poll shortly along with the discussion post. THANK YOU to everybody who submitted a nomination!
PLEASE READ THE POST THIS WEEK! Welcome to the nomination post of the week!! Nominations run through Sunday, April 27th.
Okay this is a bit different from what we normally do for our polls. In an effort to keep things in ONE place we are doing a nomination week for your favorite Shapeshifter Series/book. There will be ONE round that is taking place all week long. Simply list your favorite series in the blog comments below. PLEASE try not to duplicate nominations. We can take up to about 50 nominations and split them into two weeks worth of polling starting next week with the first half (in no particular order). Then the 2nd week we will do the next half and the third week will be the final poll for the ULTIMATE favorite shapeshifter series.
So, there is NO POLL on the site to vote in this week. This is phase one of the nominations. Here’s the initial list of shifter series, just add yours below and have fun!
Mercy Thompson- Patricia Briggs
Alpha & Omega- Patricia Briggs
Women of the Otherworld- Kelly Armstrong
Psy-Changling- Nalini Singh
Elder Races- Thea Harrison
Shifters- Rache Vincent
Riley Jensen - Keri Arthur
Naked Werewolf- Molly Harper
Kate Daniels- Ilona Andrews
Breeds- Lora Leigh
Kitty Norville- Carrie Vaughn
Mystwalkers- Leigh Evans
PLEASE NOTE: We can’t add every shapeshifter series out there or this would be the only poll we would have on the site ever again.
There are HUNDREDS of fantastic shapeshifter series out there now. So, we may have to cut some things out due to time and space constraints. Thank you for understanding and remember this is for FUN, it isn’t for a prize or prestige.

***These are only a few of my favorite series***
Believe it or not, I’ve only read two shifter series before (I’m more Team Vampire) and the only once I’ve ever liked was The Moon Series by Lisa Kessler. So great! I’ve read them over and over!
The Moon Series by Lisa Kessler is by far the best!
While I do love both of the Patricia Briggs’ series you’ve listed, I would have to add Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series. Jane is a Cherokee skinwalker, who can shift into various animal forms, but prefers the cougar, as she shares her body with the soul of a mountain lion (Beast), due to her accidental use of black magic while fighting for her life as a young girl. Beast and Jane are awesome together!
Agreed!
The moon series by Lisa Kessler
The Moon series by Lisa Kessler
Anita’s many many shifters lol
Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series!
Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter is the BEST!
Totally agree!
Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock rocks…
You said it! No shifter series list would be complete without Jane Yellowrock by Faith Hunter. Most of my other favorites are already mentioned, but I’d also add the World of the Lupi series by Eileen Wilks.
Immortals of New Orleans by Kym Grosso
Dragon Guard series by Julia Mills
Moon Series by Lisa Kessler
Heart of Fire series by Lizzy Ford
Wolf Town Guardians by Rose Wynters
Thank you so much!!
Faith Hunter and the Jane Yellowrock series! I can’t believe it is not on the list.
C.E. Murphy and Walker Papers is another great series.
Kitty Norville- Carrie Vaughn and Shifters- Rachel Vincent are some of my fav shifter series
I absolutely LOVE the Jane Yellowrock Series by Faith Hunter it is an amazing series with all types of shifters and other paranormal s thrown in to appeal to paranormal fans of all types
Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series
I love The Riley Jenson series but Kelley Armstrong’s Tales of the Otherworld got me back to reading so that’s number 1 with me :).
Your original list unimaginably omitted the Jane Yellowrock series by NYT best-selling author Faith Hunter! From other poster comments, I’m not alone in noticing. Jane isn’t “just” a shifter..she shares her body with a mountain lion who is as integral a character in this series as any other human/vampire/supe. Best series ever!
You have it right. Faith Hunter takes the shifter oeuvre to a whole new level. Deeper richer and just BETTER. I love some of the others but I own all of the Yellowrock series.
So many wonderful series are already listed! Now I am going to add some of my favorites. Cherise Sinclair’s WILD HUNT - she is the Queen of HAWT and when she added shifters?? Oh My God! Shelly Laurenston’s PRIDE series - just way too much fun. Angela Knight’s MAGEVERSE series - King Arthur and The Round Table in a way you never, ever imagined. This series is complete and absolutely fabulous! Nicole Peeler’s JANE TRUE series - I binge-read this one (even took 2 personal days at work to read them!). This series is also complete. Sierra Dean’s SECRET MCQUEEN series - picked up the first book because of the title - hooked instantly!! Amanda Carlson’s JESSICA MCCAIN series - this gets better and better and it started out great. Cecy Robson’s WEIRD GIRLS - I always plan to read these when I have the next day free so I can stay up late reading!
The Dragon Guard series by Julia Mills…DRAGONS FOREVER!
Immortals of New Orleans by Kym Grosso
The Dragon Guard series by Julia Mills <3. I also do love Patricia Briggs too.
Faith Hunter’s, Jane Yellowrock Series!
Sooo hard, I loove the Jane Yellowrock series, has a special place in my heart. But I also love the Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs and kelley Armstrong. Also I would mention that Cecy Robson has a great series too! Tough tough decision!
Jane Yellowrock - Faith Hunter’s series!
