Searching For 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 in these books often have surprising depth. The authors do not have to focus on realism and can therefore put much effort into character development. Even the secondary characters are often well developed and the special abilities and powers are often carefully considered. Reading about how these romances overcome supernatural obstacles often makes us feel that what we have to deal with on a daily basis in our lives is quite manageable after all.

In many of these books we are presented with the ultimate when it comes to impossible love. Here mortals fall in love with immortals and experience all the agony related to this. The immortal may give in to his need to be with a mortal woman or he may sacrifice this need for her sake. She, on the other hand, may choose to become immortal despite its implications.

The love of these characters is intensified in this way as the imaginations of the authors are freed from any normal limitations. We experience the emotions of the characters. We explore truths in a setting where current reality does not hinder our vision.

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.
