Searching For The Best Paranormal Romance Novels For Adults

By Christa Jarvis


There is a genre that currently has a hold of readers to an extent that seems to defy any logical explanation. Books written about romances between mere mortals, ghosts, time travelers, werewolves, shape shifters and vampires have millions of followers. There are simple ways to find the best paranormal romance novels for adults online. Joining book forums or groups, reading reviews and consulting top seller lists are just some of the helpful tools that can be used.

The settings for these novels are varied. Some are set in the past and are somewhat like historical novels. Others are set in the future. Some are set in alternate realities and other worlds. There are those that even have their lovers traveling in time. The heroine may be from the present day and travel into the past to meet the hero.

Authors are creating enticing settings for their romances. Not just the lovers but even the secondary characters, settings and all the supernatural powers and abilities are intricately developed. When we read about these characters triumphing over adversities and their love prevailing, it makes what we face on a daily basis seem more manageable.

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.

Powerful imaginative abilities are exercised by these authors who bring a whole new dimension to romance. The fact that reality is not a limitation enables them to fully explore emotions we are all familiar with. The whole romantic experience is heightened by the fact that it is not subject to what is considered normal.

The internet has provided a way for lovers of this genre to communicate with one another. Many forums and groups exist where readers share their insights on books they have read and ask for suggestions on what to read next. Guilds promote the authors of this genre through their websites and special events. Reading reviews is one of the best ways to find out what other readers have enjoyed most. Some of these reviews are written by professionals but others are written by fellow readers.

Many of these authors have chosen to write series where they continue to develop their characters. There fans wait eagerly for each book in the series to come out and rush to buy it. They fall in love with the characters and are desperate to follow their exploits. The competition between authors for readership is fierce as readers are always looking for something new.

Part of our fascination with this genre is its escapist quality. We are whisked away from our humdrum existence to a place where woman fall in love with ghosts, date vampires, read minds and slay demons for the sake of love. So much is demanded of women in contemporary society and it may just take a fantasy vampire lover to take her away from it all. These books carry the appeal of a high concept twist on a very familiar idea and we love them for it.
