What are some good paranormal romance books?

I really enjoy reading Kresley Cole's books. Other than that, I can't seem to find any good paranormal romance novels. I've heard that Sherrilyn Kenyon is good, but I tried reading her "Dark Side of the Moon" book, and I hated it. Not sure if that represents the rest of her work though. Any good book/author reccomendations would be greatly appreciated!

What are some good paranormal romance books?
For Sherrilyn Kenyon you have to start with "Fantasy Lover" and "Night Pleasures". IMHO they are the best (and the first two) of her dark hunter series. "Dark Side of the Moon" was not really a very good example of this wonderful series.





You should also try J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood books because they are incredible! The first book is called "Dark Lover" but my favorites are "Lover Eternal" and "Lover Revealed".





I like Christine Feehan's Carpathian books which starts with "Dark Prince" (yes, lots of these books seem to have the word "dark" in them!).





You could also try Mona Lisa Awakening and Mona Lisa Blossoming by Sunny which were really very good. However, I have to warn you that they are a bit more graphic than the mainstream paranormal romance stories.





Rhonda Thompson has the Wild Wulfs of London series about werewolves. The books are a mix of historical/paranormal romance. I've enjoyed those books so far too.





If you want something a bit lighter than the ones previously mentioned you could try Katie MacAlister who has a vampire series (I think "Sex and the Single Vampire" is the first book but I'm not absolutely sure) and her Aisling Grey Guardian series which the first book is called "You Slay Me".





Also Stephenie Rowe has some humorous paranormal romances. The first of the series is called "Date Me Baby, One More Time".





Hope you find something you like :-)
Reply:You might try a novel called "Ghost Ship" and you might also try "Middle Age: A Romance" by Joyce Carrol Oates.





If you're into Vampire Romances, you might try the "Dark" series by Christine Feehan.





The novel "Embrace the Night" is about a ballet dancer and a vampire and it's wonderful.
Reply:Katie MacAllister's paranormals, Lyndsay Sand, and MaryJanice Davidson.





I used to like MJ Davidson a lot, but lately her stories are repetitive and became annoying.
Reply:Neil Gaiman Stardust.

Reply:Colleen Gleason's The Rest Falls Away and Rises the Night, (www.colleengleason.com), Karen Marie Moning's The Immortal Highlander, and there are some Lynn Kurland novels that fit the bill as well.
Reply:I've read both Twilight and New Moon by: Stephenie Meyer and I thought they were really, really good, I got totally sucked into the book and I could feel the emotions too. Also, I love the "Dark" series from Christine Feehan. Nina Bangs, Erin McCarthy, Susan Squires and Jaid Black are all excellent authors and I loved most of their books!!
Reply:Kay Hooper's Shadows trilogy is very good.
Reply:Kim Harrison’s Rachel Morgan series about a witch who is a bounty hunter and works with a vampire and a pixie


Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty Norville series about a werewolf radio talk show host


Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden series about a wizard private investigator in Chicago


Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series
Reply:Twilight by stephenie meyers is AMAZING. i highly recommend it. Also look for New Moon (the sequel)
Reply:Laurel K. Hamilton writes romance with vampires and other mystical creatures especially the Meridith Gentry. Kristen Grayson's novels are romantic and paranormal as well but there more on the light side.
Reply:I'm with Bored-In-Lab. Sands is really good - funny, plus the "vampires" basically originated in Atlantis and it's nanotechnology that needs the blood - to repair damage (from illness, the sun, aging).
Reply:what exactly do you mean paranormal...like ghosts? That I cant help with, but Vampires...check out Poppy Z. Brite and Anne Rice...almost all of them have some sort of romantic plot
Reply:Try the author Christine Feehan. I really enjoy her paranormal romance books! I hope you enjoy them!
Reply:It's a little old and might be a little weird, its double romantic (the time period and a love interest) but if you're interested in vampires try Carmilla by Sheridan LeFanu
