I love to reread and this week I spent a bunch of time rereading some favorite paranormals. Each series has its own world building and fresh take on a common theme. In terms of which series is my favorite, it varies from day to day. But…I got to thinking and wondering if you line up the characters from each series, who would win a battle royale. Let’s compare!1. Lara Adrien’s Midnight Vampires vs. JR Ward’s BDB Vampires
| Attribute | JR. Ward’s BDB Vampires | Lara Adrien’s Midnight Breeds |
| Strength: | Very strong, more than human strength | Strength varies depending on age of breed and generation |
| Finances: | Uber, Bill Gates kind of rich | Wealthy, old money |
| Gadgets/Weaponry | Modern guns combined with homemade daggers | Resident computer tech, underground training facility |
| Other powers | Can dematerialize, some mind reading and can turn locks & lights | Can run/move faster than the human eye can see |
| Weaknesses | Sun, losing their bonded mate | Sun, bloodlust |
| Attribute | Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Were Hunters |
Nalini Singh’s Changelings |
| Strength: | Very strong, more than human strength | Above human strength |
| Finances: | Have money, but doesn’t affect them | Depends on the pack, but money doesn’t seem to matter. Draw richness from pack and land. |
| Gadgets/Weaponry | Magic, prefer hand to hand combat | Hand to hand combat often in form of animal |
| Other powers | Can time travel, some mind reading | Animal strength |
| Weaknesses | Die if their mate dies and they are bonded, electricity | Turning into their animal fulltime |
I should not be allowed to weigh in on this because I don’t think I could ever go against a SK WereHunter, even if they were up against the devil himself. The fact that they die if their mate dies after they’ve bonded is such a crazy good weakness, isn’t it?
Carlene, I KNEW I’d get you over here with one whiff of Dark Hunter! I think I forgot to post my conclusions. I think the Were Hunters have an edge over the changelings thanks to their magic. Changelings have strength and speed.
LOL. You had me at “Wren”
