I have become a fan of Mercy Thompson after my wife started reading her books. They have action, adventure, magic, fae, werewolves, vampires, and other fantasy type creatures.
If you enjoy paranormal books than the Mercy Thompson series may be for you.

This series is like VI Warshawski with werewolves and vampires. So far, it has been great fun, although there are some signs that it may go the same way as Paretski's novels - the author finding more interest in her protagonists' relationships with each other than in the stories she has to tell. By book 4, the heroine has taken to wallowing in existential angst for several pages at a time. The reader - this reader - would rather she pulled herself together and slaughtered a vampire. Happily, there's still a lot of vampire slaying.
The heroine is a shapeshifter who turns into a coyote. Unfortunately for her, Old World night-bumpers have wiped out almost all the New World magical beings, so she has to make her way among werewolves, not all of which are ready to accept her. She also doesn't really grasp what Coyote is, and part of the fun is her gradual discovery of her otherworldly attributes. Rooted in the place, she may turn out to be considerably more powerful than the European in-comers. One of her superpowers may be to make friends and lovers easily; whenever she's in a tight spot someone else will turn up to help her out of it. Must be that Coyote is a lot more fun than your average Eurohellspawn.

I LOVE THIS SERIES and the Alpha Omega one by Patricia Briggs as well.
I want to live in Mercy’s world or be connected to it somehow!
