It’s that time of year again when the leaves change color and we cuddle up with blankets and good reads. If you love reading about paranormal creatures or anything that falls under the spooky umbrella, then you’ll love this list of paranormal romance books for adults.
What are Paranormal Romance Books for Adults?
Paranormal romance books are a great way to get your fix of spooky stories without being too scared. These types of romance novels often have elements of paranormal or fantasy mixed into the story for an intriguing plot you won’t be able to put down. There’s always a focus on characters with superpowers, otherworldly beings, or a combination of the two. Witches, ghosts, faeries, and fallen angels are just some of the types of creatures that you can find in these books. As mentioned in an article by Smashbear, “while certain elements of a paranormal romance book are fantastical, the world they’re set in is not.”
Whether you’re looking for a light-hearted paranormal romance or something a little more sinister and spicy, there’s something on this list to suit your tastes.
