On second thought - I’m really not that surprised that I’ve been suckered into these books. I was an avid reader of the Twilight Saga and may have been an occasional peruser in the romance section back in the day… but man oh man - you add supernatural elements to a romance and it just heightens it all the more.
Now I know there was some debate over paranormal romance versus urban fantasy here at Suvudu a while back. Well, whatever you call it, I like it.
I downloaded Keri Arthur’s Full Moon Rising to my iPod Touch while abroad, just in case I got bored on my flight back. Started reading it while waiting for the subway back home and next thing I knew, I was lying on my couch, sad and done with the first book. I’ve got to get the next few in the series… but that’s another matter entirely.
In any case, what I’m wondering is - what paranormal romances would you recommend? I’ve got a hankering for more now and not sure where to turn, since there are so many out there. If it helps, I’m a fan of Jacqueline Carey as well.
ooooh, i love Keri Arthur's stuff. :) i already have the book, but i downloaded the free copy of Full Moon Rising, just 'cause i like it so darn much. :)
Christine Feehan's Dark series is a pretty good Vampire Paranormal Romance. it's for people who don't like the candy-ass teenage vamps in the Twilight Saga. (which i liked, btw) a warning, though- it's borderline porn. i gave a copy of the first book to my sister in law, and i'm pretty sure she turned 5 shades of violet before getting through the first half of the book. :)
Maria V. Snyder's Poison Study, and subsequent novels are amongst my favorites, and aren't nearly as... erotic... as Feehan's work. :) they deal with magic rather than vamps.
