Apparently I’m late to the party, because Midnight Wolf, the first in the Shifter’s Unbound series that I’ve read is actually number eleven chronologically (not including novellas). Oops? While it definitely seems like paranormals have faded into the general romance backdrop, there are still several series (because aren’t they always series?) that stand out, and…
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi and Jonathan Davis If you’re looking for a fresh paranormal romance series with a creative twist, engaging characters, and a good dose of humor to boot then I recommend you give How to Date Your Dragon a listen. I think this book had just the right balance of world building and…
Narrated by Tim Gilbert Tinsel Fish, the second book in Harper Fox’s Tyack and Frayne series, takes place shortly after the events of book one (Once Upon a Haunted Moor), and TV psychic Lee Tyack and Cornish bobby Gideon Frayne are a few weeks into the relationship they began in that book. As Tinsel Fish…
Long running series eventually (inevitably?) become more about providing fans an opportunity to connect with favorite characters than they are about providing great stories. In Burn Bright, the fifth book in the Alpha and Omega series and fifteenth novel in the general Mercyverse, Briggs delivers a story about witches, traitors and alliances that is pure…
Narrated by Tim Gilbert Once Upon a Haunted Moor is the first book in Harper Fox’s series of mysteries with a paranormal twist set mostly around Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The setting is atmospheric and integral to the story and is beautifully evoked by the author’s wonderfully descriptive, lyrical writing; and our two protagonists –…
Maria Vale’s The Last Wolf is not at all what I expected. I thought I’d get a fast-paced, spicy shifter romance, much like others I’ve loved. This book, this heroine, was unexpected. In all the right ways. Shifters and werewolves are different in this world. A werewolf must turn into a wolf during the full…
Thirst came out in 2017, and it’s the first book in Jacquelyn Frank’s Energy Vampires series. One of my best friends offline is a huge fan of the author, so I thought I’d give her books a try. If you like vampire stories, this one feature more originality than the average in the worldbuilding. I’m…
Juliet Lyons’ self-published, Wattpad series has gained mainstream attention and garnered her a contract with Sourcebooks, so potential readers should be aware that Drop Dead Gorgeous, the second book in her Bite Nights series, was previously titled Romancing the Undead. Depending on one’s mood and tolerance for fluff, it will either be one long fuzzy-headed…
In Blood Guard, the first book in the two-book Mission series, author Megan Erickson introduces her readers to the vampires of the Gregorie clan and the women who love them. Just reading the premise had the paranormal junkie in me salivating. A brand new series that promises danger, excitement, and a heavy dose of vampire/human…
Night Shift is a collection of three alternate reality/paranormal romances and one fantasy romance, all by established genre authors. The first three stories were solid visits to worlds those authors have written about in other books, which contributes to the generally-strong worldbuilding in the collection. The fourth, my favorite, was by Meljean Brooks under a…
