Ice Series by Anne Staurt
 
 
 


3. Ice Blue Mon's Thoughts
4. Ice Storm Mon's Thoughts
5. Fire and Ice

Okay, so this series is not about vamps but hey we have strayed before! This author apparently has thirty five years of writing romantic novels under her belt and is great at it. Below is a breif explanation of the books from a library blog in Texas:
The Ice series revolves around the flinty-hearted operatives of The Committee, a shadowy international organization that fights terrorism with a ruthless, ends-justify-the-means mentality. Stuart uses a similar storyline in each: An agent on a mission from the Committee finds his (or her) plans inextricably linked to another person, typically a civilian who's in the wrong place at the wrong time. The operation goes awry, and the two are forced to go on the run together. Literal and figurative pyrotechnics ensue.
 
We LOVED this series and loved the way Ms. Stuart writes. Went looking for more of her books!



The Discovery of Witches, All Souls Triology
Below is the review taken from website above!
 
1. Discovery of Witches Carol's Thoughts  Mon's Thoughts
2. Shadow of the Night  Mon's Thoughts
3. Yet to be announced
 
 
When historian Diana Bishop opens a bewitched alchemical manuscript in Oxford’s Bodleian Library it represents an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordinary life. Though descended from a long line of witches, she is determined to remain untouched by her family’s legacy. She banishes the manuscript to the stacks, but Diana finds it impossible to hold the world of magic at bay any longer.
For witches are not the only otherworldly creatures living alongside humans. There are also creative, destructive daemons and long-lived vampires who become interested in the witch’s discovery. They believe that the manuscript contains important clues about the past and the future, and want to know how Diana Bishop has been able to get her hands on the elusive volume.
Chief among the creatures who gather around Diana is vampire Matthew Clairmont, a geneticist with a passion for Darwin. Together, Diana and Matthew embark on a journey to understand the manuscript’s secrets. But the relationship that develops between the ages-old vampire and the spellbound witch threatens to unravel the fragile peace that has long existed between creatures and humans—and will certainly transform Diana’s world as well.

Movie info also taken from website: Warner Brothers Pictures has secured the film rights to the All Souls Trilogy. Work is currently underway to adapt the first book, A Discovery of Witches, for the screen. Denise DiNovi and Alison Greenspan are producing the film. Playwright David Auburn, who has received both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, has been hired to write the screenplay.

Apparently it takes place in Cadwell, MA, same local as BDB and even includes the same bar, the Iron Mask! Whoo hoo!
