Finding The Best Paranormal Romance Novels For Adults

By Christa Jarvis


A genre that has become amazingly popular today features romances heightened by otherworldly aspects. Werewolves and vampires are joined by ghosts, angels, time travelers shape shifters and others with supernatural powers. When looking for the best paranormal romance novels for adults, an online search may be confusing as there are so many books of this kind. Looking for best seller lists, reading reviews and joining online forums or groups is a way to help narrow down a search and choose the best books.

These authors often create intricate, highly detailed settings for their romances. Their characters live in compelling mythical worlds. They may be set in the past, much like historical novels but with a twist or set in a future world. They may even involve one of the lovers traveling in time, like a hero who comes from the future and falls in love with a present day heroine.

The characters have a depth to them that often surprises readers when first introduced to this genre. As there is less need to make the books realistic, there is more opportunity to focus on character development. The stories often reflect many of the struggles and fears faced by all of us every day. We read about how love prevails despite all odds, even supernatural ones.

Love between ill-fated lovers is a theme we are all familiar with. This is given a twist in novels of this genre by the introduction of the paranormal element. Immortals fall in love with mortals, a ghost loves a human, a girl loves a vampire and these characters all face great challenges to their love beyond what is normal.

This genre exploits powerful fantasies. The authors are able to intensify the romances by setting them in these worlds that are not limited to reality. This gives them the freedom to explore emotional truths that we are all familiar with.

The internet has made it possible for authors to publish their works and establish fans in a way that they never could before. Many websites are devoted to promoting these books and reading reviews helps when trying to pick out the best of them. Another way is to join forums and discussion groups dedicated to this genre. Most websites also offer lists of favorites, top picks and bestsellers.

Once readers find characters and a setting that appeals to them, they want to read about it again and again. Many authors in this genre are writing series to keep their readers hooked. This also forces them to continue to develop their characters to keep their readers coming back for more.

These books provide a way for us to play out our fantasies, address our fears and escape from our daily struggles. Their popularity continues to grow as authors push boundaries and come up with increasingly compelling love stories. The huge fan base also makes sure that they will continue to keep these books coming.
