Your Guide to Great Paranormal Romance
Paranormal Romance is a recently revived genre that crosses over into several other genres including romance, horror, mystery and fantasy. Some of the best paranormal romance isn't found in the romance section of the bookstore! Many used bookstores have begun creating a separate section for paranormal romance for this reason.
Wikipedia describes the term paranormal as follows:
"According to the Journal of Parapsychology, the term paranormal describes "any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions."
Paranormal Romance generally includes novels rooted in horror, fantasy, mystery or romance with a supernatural theme, wherein a romance comprises a significant portion of the plot. Paranormal romances can include vampires, witches, faeries, werewolves, ghosts, ESP, mythological beings, and other elements of the supernatural.

With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

Personally, I LOVE the books in the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris--such fun. She also has a more serious series with a paranormal leading character, Harper Connelly. The first book is Grave Sight. Posted July 17, 2008 |
