New Species is Laurann Dohner’s most popular series, with 16 books published from 2011 to 2021. The premise centers on genetically altered beings created by mixing human and animal DNA in laboratory experiments. After being freed, these “New Species” must learn to live in a world that fears them while forming their own community and finding love.
Each book is named after its hero (Fury, Slade, Valiant, Justice, Brawn, Wrath, Tiger, and others), and each follows a different New Species male falling for a human woman. The series launched with a burst of five books in 2011 and maintained a steady pace over the following decade. New Species blends elements of paranormal and science fiction romance with themes of freedom and identity.
