Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Hey guys :)

So I need help finding some books.
I'd really like to read books where a non-human girl is in a regular school or something like that. And of course there should be romance... ;)

Thanks in advance,
Helina :

You can try . I don't know if you could call her non human but she can see zombies and it's not something everyone can do

Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison. Still attends High school with the humans throughout the series.

You're going to have a difficult time finding something like this because the generic YA PNR formula dictates that the protagonist needs to be plain Jane vanilla human or you run the risk of the reader being unable to identify with her.

Even when you do find a protagonist that is a genuine non-human, youll find that the non-human aspects of her character are muted and she often ends up acting like a vanilla human.

i.e.: i'm a vampire and i'm being threatened with violence. But instead of using my awesome vampire powers to defend myself I'm going to back away slowly and panic, hoping the male love interest comes to my rescue.

Sorry if i sound unhappy about it. I guess its become a bit tiresome.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, these are all really good books :D

It is true that that particular criteria is difficult to find because things can change very quickly. Like been shipped off to a boarding school with similar students for instance.

I did find a few that might fit your criteria. I hope these are good additions to your list:

These look great, thanks :)
And by the way, I've read the dark elements and the lux series already and oh my god they are soooooo fantastic!!!! :D

Your welcome. But no surprise there that your a JLA fan. Who isn't? Loved those series too. :D

I agree with anything JLA! Can't go wrong there.

I listed all that came to mind first, I also have a few where the girl doesn't know about her supernatural side until later in the book. You may like them.

Hope you find what you're looking for!
