Here are some recommendations by tone:<br /><br />Light hearted good fun: Jana DeLeon's "Mudbug" series, Nancy Atherton's "Aunty Diminity" series, E. J. Cooperman's "Haunted Guesthouse" series and Mignon Ballard's "angle" series.<br /><br />Part fun/Part suspense-Any Charlaine Harris, Madeline Alt's "Witch series", Michelle Rowan-separate paranormal books, and Alice Kimberly's "haunted bookstore" series.<br /><br />Darker-Mary Stanton's "Beaufort and Co." series, Kat Richardson's "Greywalker" series, P. N. Elrod's vampire series, T. J. MacGregor's tarot reading sensitive, Chaz McGee's dead detective series. <br /><br />Of course, this list just scratches the surface. The romance genre has it's own authors. The ones I've listed here are mainly classified as mysteries. Happy reading-they are fun-my reason for choosing paranormal!E. B.

Since Charlaine Harris is the guest speaker at Crimebake this year, I'm going to start reading more of them. In my teens and twenties, I used to be interested in vampires and vampire books and movies so I thought the recent popularity of paranormals was age specific but perhaps the genre reveals much more.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.com
