D.T. Dyllin is the author of the P.J. Stone Gates Trilogy & The Death Trilogy. I was lucky enough to read an arc of Enemy Through the Gates (before Dyllin signed with Dragonfairy Press and changed the name to Hidden Gates). P.J.'s story had me hooked from the very beginning. And I really loved that it was New Adult, so it was a bit steamier than the YA I'd been reading a lot of before that. I cannot wait for the second book in the series. ~Mel
Kaye Thornbrugh is the author of paranormal YA novel, Flicker. I got the chance to read this AH-MAH-ZING faerie book a few months ago and it is still one of my absolute favorites (and I am very, very picky person when it comes to the fae). I loved Lee from the start and still wish to kidnap and keep Filo (though I do ship him with Alice...Alice, Lana, they both have L's...). The second book in the Flicker series cannot come fast enough! ~Lana

Frankie Rose is the author of the phenomenal Hope Series and the upcoming Raksha. I read Sovereign Hope in July and I have been completely besotted with the series ever since. When I finished it, I was sure I'd have to wait at least another year for the next installment. I was very happy when Eternal Hope released in October of the same year. Aside from being a fantastically talented author, Frankie makes kick-ass book trailers & covers and she's a pretty fabulous person. We adore her. ~Mel
J Meyers is the author of Intangible, Intuition and Indomitable. After being raged at for MONTHS by Mel (she knows she did xP) I finally picked Intangible up. It was my first Indie Novel and is the main reason I adore indie authors now. I devour anything Miss Meyers sets in front of her readers and cannot wait (can. not. wait.) for the second Intangible novel! ~Lana
Ada Adams is the author of the Angel Creek Series. One of the many reasons I adore Ada is that she took a genre (vampires) that I felt was quickly becoming overdone and gave it a complete overhaul and the result was ReVamped. The title is so very fitting. Ada Adams made vampires fun for me to read about again and honestly, I didn't think it could be done. So again, I thank you, Ada for writing books that I am now hopelessly addicted to.~Mel
Stacey Rourke is the author of the amazing Gryphon series- The Conduit, Embrace, and Sacrifice. Let me tell you, I adore these books. Celeste (has an awesome name) is a kickass character with a smartass sense of humor that I just love, and the rest of her characters are all deep and wonderful and it... It is just an amazing series. I ADORE it! ~Lana
Michelle Warren is the author of the captivating Seraphina Parrish Trilogy. She is also the very first Indie author I ever encountered. I can't thank her enough for opening the door to some amazing new stories & friends. Her books are enchanting and they draw you in from the very beginning and they don't let go. She also been kind to her readers by publishing Protecting Truth less than a year after Wander Dust. Now, we're holding our breath waiting for the finale of this wonderful series. ~Mel
Cora Carmack is the author of NYT Best Seller, LOSING IT. I had heard many good things about the book when I first picked it up, and I have to say it is one of my favorites this year (see our Best Of post and you shall see I am not lying). I could really relate to Bliss and Garrick, just... Yum. I love him. I wish he would step out of the book... ha. I will definitely be stalking Carmack for any book she drops next! ~Lana
Kristen Day is the author of the Daughters of the Sea Trilogy. This series is amazingly addictive and action packed and really different from anything else out right now. We really can't get enough of her or the fantastically hunky male lead, Finn. We like Stasia, too..honest! Kristen has also spoiled us by releasing both books 1 & 2 (Forsaken & Awaken) in 2012. Lana and I have been yearning for the final book in the series, Chosen. I have a feeling I'll be devouring it in a day as soon as I can get my hands on it. ~Mel
Cambria Hebert is the author of The Heven and Hell series, and Whiteout. I have not finished the Heven and Hell series yet, (damn RL), but let me tell you, it is EPIC (and I rarely use this word). So twisty and dangerous and..and...ACH I adore it. Cambria herself is a sweetheart and hilarious, and I really hope to meet her (and really, I wish to meet everyone on this list) at UtopYA this year! <3 ~Lana
