I like paranormal,it is my escape to travel from reading a great novel or watching a great movie. I got hooked one day I went to Walmart and was searching for a good sink your teeth book and found Laurelle K Hamilton got hooked the first pages couldnt get home fast enuff. I luv me some Richard,Jean Claude Ash,Jason and Anita Blake. I could go on & on, all I can say it is a safe escape and no repercussions follows.

I love the genre because it seems to be now more than just Vampires and Werewolves now. Now we have immortals, dragons, dark-hunters, fairies, fae, priestiess, withces, mermaids and mer-mens, Gods, Immortals, Gargoyles. Almost every creature of myth. This genre also at times gets a little complicated because sometimes I think the genre that a book will be in, is sometimes classified as urban fantasy or science fiction, even sometimes horror novels. Love my time travelers. Heh Heh, I got hooked on the PR Romances because of Sherri Kenyon and Majorie Liu, Lara Adrian to name a few.

I like Paranormal because it’s different, yet at the same time have noticed that lately most are either Vampire or Werewolf, or Demon’s. I do wish it would expand a bit more. I do like that the heroines in most paranormals are not the subservient type, that they are the more kick butt type. I do wish a few more lighter paranormals were released, though.

The reason why I love paranormal is because it can be anything. And every women love’s a bad boy, what’s badder than an vampire, werewolf or an demon. It takes you to a whole new world not just our boring one. And I agree with the female tough lead, although I love big bad tough guys it’s good when a women bring’s them down a peg or two,lol

There are no rules in paranormal. Well, to be precise — you build your own rules, which you then have to stick to for each book you write in that universe. But that makes for some stellar fiction and some very interesting characters, with really different motives… so unusual from today’s world.

That makes for some very exciting stories.

What keeps me coming back to paranormals is the fact that so many of them are completely different. The world can be ANYTHING. With an historical, in many cases, the world is pretty much set, and within that the plot and the characters are created. When I read a paranormal, I am most times surprised – and that element keeps me wanting more.

I love PNR! I got hooked by reading Christine Feehan’s Dark series, and from there, I read alot. Now I’m much more selective about what I’ll read.

Why does it work for me? I’m a hero girl. In particular an alpha hero girl. And PNR almost always features a larger than life hero.

I also love, love, love the soulmates trope. It’s prevelant in PNR. Or, I love the mating bond idea, which makes it an imperative that the couple fall in love.

Plus, if the world building is excellent, it can be a fascinating experience watching a world come alive from the fertile mind of an author.
