By January 28, 2016February 9th, 2016Discussion and Recommendations

As a huge lover of YA and Paranormal Romance literature I was really excited when this poll question was posted on our Social Media walls and looked forward to seeing your suggestions.

It was a quieter response than normal but hey, it’s quality not quantity that’s important isn’t it and you most certainly provided on that front. Here are your top 20 Paranormal Romance choices.

The Twilight Saga – Stephanie Meyer

This series has received its fair share of criticism but it is what it is, a truly paranormal romance. It may not be a classic but it is very popular and it got a lot of people reading, and I still love it.

Dark Hunter Series – Sherrilyn Kenyon

“You want to know what a Dark-Hunter is? We are what the intro says. We’re Mad, Bad and Immortal. We’re ancient warriors with attitudes who fight rough, and play hard.

We are the scary things that go bump in the night. And we love every minute of it. So when you think you’re being watched. You just might be. The question is…is it something evil or is it one of us?”

 

Yes I think this has to go on my TBR list.

Anita Blake – Laurell K. Hamilton

These books pop up in so many of our polls. The series takes place in a parallel world in which supernatural characters like vampires and werewolves exist alongside regular humans and Anita’s job is the re-animation of the dead as well as the hunting and executing of supernatural creatures (mostly vampires) that have broken the law.
